I like Portugal as a country, just really not in football

Ah damn, I forgot to fill in my prediction again, just like for the semis I would like to predict French and Portuguese semi final wins and 0-0 in the final

Because both teams are playing a horribly bad match .

Thank you for mentioning the only real Ronaldo during this final

The only people for who it could feel satisfying would be the French and really, I have no doubt it would feel satisfying enough for them

I guess the French might look at it differently

Cristiano R in trouble

I completely agree with almost all athletics fans I talked to on Twitter about this: it's a very good idea for championships in Olympic years, because it simply means you will have serious championships instead of only B-athletes, while in non-Olympic years they shouldn't do this

Yes, she made exactly the same mistake as Van Rouwendaal, but instead of going back around the buoy like Van Rouwendaal did, Ridztov just passed under the line and continued her way to the finish

Van Rouwendaal was very much on her way to win gold in the European open water championships (10k), but at the finish she went to the wrong side of the buoy so she had to swim all the way back and of course lost any chance

Verstappen moves up to 2nd Incredibly stupid by Mercedes to give Rosberg those radio instructions which got him a 10s time penalty.

Like in every championships there are some things like that of course Schippers didn't run the 200m, or else we had a very good chance to win one more gold medal. Hassan just used this championships as a way to start getting back in shape and getting some rhythm, if she was in top shape we had a good chance to win another gold medal. Mitchell-Blake and Zharnel Hughes were still fighting injuries or else GBR might have a very good gold medal chance or even two more medal chances. And so on

Lemaitre might be a star, he probably would not have added a lot in the sprints here since he's not anywhere near his best shape this year.

Exactly what I was asking one or two days ago, I'm still curious

You know it's not that surprising right?

Borlèe x 3 and Watrin with the gold, awesome

The girls are (very likely) going to Rio 3 relays in Rio, I would not have imagined that one or two years ago

But it might be their best ever with Schooling in it.

Well Kupers, your last chance to qualify for the Olympics...1:45.20 is needed (he had 1:45.25 at Dutch championships..), but of course it will be very hard to do that in a championship race. Still, it's the last chance so he'll have to go for it.

Again?

That 5000m final was seriously good, especially the last meters

Yeah it wasn't exactly a fast paced event

Cichocka is in great shape these weeks Hassan seems to be getting in better and better shape after her injury, right on track for Rio

You definitely have a good amount of very nice chances today

By the way, looking at the average of the 2 fastest times in the Olympic qualifying period (including last year's WCh) they're on 42.18 now, which is obviously far behind JAM and USA, but only 0,05 behind third placed TRI
