I never said it's weak (or that I don't very much appreciate it, don't get me wrong )

Something that apparently at least one person has taken too seriously.

That's still Samba's 46.98 for me to be honest, mostly because the women's steeplechase is still very new so relatively speaking it's easier to see WR's being broken Definitely in 2nd place though.

Holy Moses, Jesus, Allah, Khrishna, Zeus and Thor, what a time from Chepkoech, absolutely, completely destroying Jebet's WR

Beatrice Chepkoech is insanely fast at the moment

Exactly why I love games like these Out of curiousity: when are the Winter Central American and Caribbean Games?

Wait, it's just a KO tournament?

Time, yes. Not 35th fastest woman ever (10th now)

1:42.14 for Amos Only 5 men, including himself, have ever run the 800m faster

48.97 for Miller-Uibo First woman to go sub-49 in 12 years

World U20 800m champion Solomon Lekuta beat world U20 1500m champion George Manangoi in the 1000m

Kicking the thread, Monaco starts in a little over an hour (in terms of broadcasted events)

What was Chicherova's result?

Well that was tense, but Demare lost

Bauke

All he needs to have a real shot is for Sagan to make another way too dangerous move

Two minutes of attacking and FDJ's cheating clan prevented anyone else from attacking...luckily that has opened up now and there's some more action.

That is new indeed..

Also: there were questions earlier to raise the time limit by 2%, but it was denied by ASO. The next day, Demare was in trouble and, surprise, they raised the time limit during the stage

And for today's finish...oh boy.

Why can't people just stand and cheer/applaude for the riders? Is it that hard?

It's not over yet

As always with these cases, I find it very hard to see exactly what the 'news' is

That only says 24 provisional suspensions, not 120 suspensions..

But I don't think the Olympics should serve as a way to start some event from scratch. Events should already be interesting and competitive enough to deserve a place in the Olympics, so basically the other way around compared to what the IOC tries to do. All women's Nordic combined has so far is a bunch of 15-year old girls starting it and a handful of older ones who are happy there is finally an international competition or two. I think my main problem is that it's bordering on insanity to finalize the list of events for the Olympics only 3 years before the Olympics. If you do it one cycle earlier, say 7 years, new events at least get the chance to grow up into something competitive.
