But Mekhissi didn't fall yet
-
By the way, this time I'd rather have Kaya win the gold than Mekhissi, even though Kaya is an imported Turk
-
Since his name is not Mekhissi-Benabbad, I'd be alright with that But of course Aras Kaya, who would compete for Russia last year if I'm not mistaken, is going to win this and bring glory to Turkey
-
Please, please, please not Let's just say I would not be sad if he falls over a hurdle or faceplants himself into the water
-
He'd take silver behind Paavo Nurmi
-
Much as I like him, I don't think there can be any doubt about Martina's DSQ:
-
But in tennis "on the line" counts as "in", in athletics it doesn't
-
Did NOT see that coming!
-
I really don't dare say...from the normal camera view I think I can see him stepping on the line, but in a camera angle from behind that they showed now, it's not so clear.
-
Me too! By the way, Shawn Crawford got the silver medal because of that, but the same week Crawford had the silver medal delivered in Martina's hotel room with a little note saying that Martina should be the owner of the medal. Rumours are that Martina didn't really want it anymore and said something like "you can give the medal to the girls who clean our rooms.." The only time ever we saw a non-smiling Martina basically
-
Because he stepped on the line in the first few meters (3 steps I believe).. The Dutch federation has protested against his DSQ now, so we have to wait and see, but I really doubt they would turn back the DSQ (he broke the rules, so sad as it is, DSQ is the only correct decision..).
-
Martina gets told he is DSQ'ed by the journalist interviewing him live on tv Good quote from him though: "We have rules for a reason and if I broke them and have to be disqualified, so be it."
-
Martina is disqualified Very sad decision, but - unfortunately - the correct decision
-
Not to mention the two Turks and I see there are two Israeli's as well who don't seem to be born there, but I don't know if they are "bought" like Turkish or more like refugees
-
But combined with a Dutch flag Another fantastic win although this time he was the favourite, so it's less surprising than yesterday
-
With a bit of luck Isinbayeva could have medalled here
-
Lavillenie, that's what you get for thinking you're too good
-
Not enough to ban an entire country indeed, remember Russia got banned after a huge investigation into state-sponsored doping and corruption, that's a whole different level And no, I'm definitely not trying to defend Turkey here
-
And logical, unless they're going to do the same huge kind of investigation. Which they should of course, but that's not something you do in one month or so.
-
Even better, an actual Turkish athlete already won a medal
-
Who cares about weather, winning distance goes over 7m
-
Bockarie after the finish: "I'm going for a medal. My plan is to keep running until the finish." Good plan, I'd say
-
He still has to run!
-
Did Alex Wilson used to be a superheavyweight boxer or something?
-
I doubt they will make the same mistake again (Besides, it's extremely rare that bookmakers offer odds for the separate events in a heptathlon/decathlon )
