Quickly went to check.....yeah noooooo thanks
-
Right, without the cornhole and/or spikeball things (whatever those are), this is exactly the way it is seen here, sadly Of course there's some people who are enthousiastic about it, but the number is....tiny.
-
Yeah that was not the smartest thing ever by a mascot
-
Yeah, only a fall or injury (or a crash with those golf cars) could have stopped her from winning this, on quality there was no way anyone was going to beat her. Arguably the most predictable gold of the entire championships (I forgot the prediction contest, but I assume basically everyone there had the Bol - Little combo )
-
Meanwhile on Eurosport Iwan Thomas is saying he doesn't believe anyone except for Hudson-Smith can be world champion next time. That's quite a thing to say in one of the most open events in athletics
-
If she keeps developing the current way, for sure! Although I'm not sure she's just going to beat all of them, going from say 50.5 to 49.5 is a lot 'easier' than from 49.5 to 48.7/8
-
Or, as it is now, this is apparently the thread for the 'Rowing World Rowing World Championships' Ah how I love the unnecessary double use of words in titles Too bad UCI isn't called 'World Cycling' yet, so we could have the World Cycling Road Cycling World Championships.

I thought the Chinese guy would do pretty well after his good start, but He has fallen back quite a lot.
-
Black humor about dead Russian fascists? Yeah do bring it on please
-
Is there as much discussion in your countries about race walking 'being ridiculous' and 'why is not every single athlete thrown out?' and 'why is this a sport if clearly everyone breaks the rules all the time' and so on? I mean, outside of European/world athletics championships and the Olympics of course nobody here watches a second of race walking, but during those events, it's the exact same discussion every time
-
The video is from three days ago though. At least that's when it was first posted, it can of course be older than that.
-
To be fair, if he was, he would probably not have ordered the plane to be accidentally brought down
-
Does it have to be in front of the cameras though? Perfectly good chance somewhere behind the scenes he quickly congratulated him or something. And if not, honest "I dont want to" is still way better than those fake hugs one especially sees often in the women's (sprint) events, where they give those weird air hug things without even a single look towards each other, entirely because of the cameras
-
Beat all of the above is in, dominate the event? Because that's something we hear from every very talented athlete, but most of them 'just' end up being very good, instead of constantly beating the rest
-
To think it's probably hosted in AWS or Azure or something, with automatic scaling being easily implemented, so the extra investment would end up giving extra costs for like one hour a day for one week every two years because an hour or so after the session is done, they can automatically scale back down
-
You can't be called 'The Olympic champion', but are 'one of the Olympic champions'. I know, semantics, but if you're a very competitive athlete, it would be perfectly understandable for that to matter. If I wanted to train my whole life to be one of the champions instead if the champion, I'd do a team sport Moon clearly wanted to go for it, but yeah...she was noped out of it by Kennedy

McMaster

Only good thing about this shared thing is we don't end up with 4.50m or something for gold.
-
I very much hope so, but I do think it will be a 4th place because of a certain Norwegian who absolutely shouldn't have been in this final...
-
Fairly popular opinion among less casual fans, I believe.
-
Happy for Kennedy, but too bad nobody can call herself "the world champion" now
-
Amazing 1500m final
-
Distance heats at these world championships are flying fast, 14:32 5k now
-
Scum of the earth Utkin is, like Prigozhin, also named as likely having been on the plane. Buh-bye. I don't think it was a deliberate act by the way, most likely it spontaneously malfunctioned after a coincidental form of physical contact with a Russian rapidly disintegrating tube-shaped object.

Having a medal ceremony in the FIFA World Cup, where quite literally nobody cares about the concept of a silver or bronze medal (most people don't even know that exists, you either win the World Cup or you don't), but not in things like athletics world championships....no thanks
