Nope, because I've never really trained running (apart from always a few times per year and then waiting for another year) or any other sport for that matter. Now I'm exercising a lot and I've added one or two running trainings per week to it since this month. My very first running goal was simply being able to run for 12 minutes straight, doing at least 2000 meters (which someone of my age (27) and health (no problems) should easily be able to do of course). I managed 2,14km yesterday, I'm taking it step by step until at least 2,5km Progress is progress, no matter how small

I doubt it. Women's steeplechase only became an Olympic event in 2008 after being added to the world championships in 2005. I'm not saying going from 8:58 to 8:52 to 8:44 is all perfectly normal, but it's not strange for an event to make big steps in the 10-15 years after it became a main event, just because before (in this case) 2005 simply not enough athletes were interested and really pushing each other to the limits. I think we'll see the same thing happen with the women's 50km race walk, where I expect the WR to be shattered by a big margin more than once before 2030.

You forgot the 'hide' '/hide' parts, 100% certain that people are going to forget to add that

That's what they say now.....wait until strange reports start coming out of Alexandria. This is a new Netflix show in the making right there.

It was already more than two weeks ago since we had a rather long blackout, but luckily we didn't make it to three weeks!

Well those were 22 nice tied seconds

Let's go

Ah, the classic "my doping was in my tap water" excuse.

What I meant was that for bobsleigh to be on it, first it would of course have to be in the USA or Canada So: If it's there and if they also decide to add bobsleigh, then etc

By being on a capsizing boat.

Add curling/mixed doubles curling and you've got yourself a firm bronze medal candidate And if it's in the USA or Canada and bobsleigh is on it, Brazil might have a shot as well if Edson Bindilatti stays active

Hey, apparently this is live on the Eurosport Player, cool

Lysenko, welcome to the 2.40m club!

Happy 21st birthday Noah Lyles, tied 8th on the all-time ranking

Goule destroying her PB (which with 1:57 is really not bad) by one and a half seconds

Meh

Hey Seamus!

Semenya is going sub-1:50 if today continues.

Yep, you know someone is having a great year when 13.07 gives a bit of a disappointed feeling

Mayer bringing some decathlon mojo to the hurdlers

Let's go Shubenkov

Running 1500m in 3:31.18 when you're 17 years old I was so happy today when I reached 1km in my run and saw I managed to get a few seconds under 6 minutes.

This 1500m is gonna go fast
