    I'd first go for a first ever Olympic athletics medal in Rio, which should of course be absolutely realistic

    Leave your hotel room, warm-up, make one jump and qualify, go back to your hotel room, sleep.

    You mean the first place in the medal table?

    How is "I run clean" different than saying she is clean?
  6. heywoodu
    I believe she's clean now

    Oh yeah, I know his Twitter account and it's very very useful, I just meant I couldn't find anything about Aras Kaya
  8. heywoodu

  9. heywoodu

    Oh yeah, De Gendt is the other Belgian in there...I'm cheering for him too being an always attacking rider
  12. heywoodu
    True I'm hoping for Van Avermaet
  13. heywoodu
    What would you think as a big surprise?

    Enrico Lacruz has been selected for the Olympics after all http://nos.nl/artikel/2115771-bokser-lacruz-alsnog-naar-olympische-spelen.html Not exactly fair to many other Dutch athletes, but alright...

    As you know I'm not an expert, but in wrestling basically every Iranian that participates at least has something of a medal chance right? I mean, obviously not everyone is the main favourite, but they're all at least in the top-10 favourites in their weight classes aren't they?

    It's always bad to see Kilty win a heat/race/whatever, sad start for the 100m. Not because he's British, but because I'm not a particular fan of athletes going on Twitter and calling athletics fans "cockroaches" (and a ton of other, worse stuff, including wishing them seriously bad stuff) when they make a tiny comment about him saying Zharnel Hughes should never be allowed to compete for GBR and that Hughes competing for GBR is a disgrace.

    Now I'm worried about Gayane Chiloyan
  20. heywoodu
    As far as I know almost everything is at the Olympic Stadium and javelin (and discus?) are at the Museumplein
  21. heywoodu
    Probably...I saw it last year as well in a championship/big meet, but I forgot where it was. It's so hypocritical and annoying.
  22. heywoodu
    By the way, it's the "pre-qualifying round', so in terms of semantics it's slightly different than heats. Top-12 athletes don't have to qualify, similar to what we see in some other sports (ski jumping, to take an example).
  23. heywoodu
    Still I prefer this system than most of the top athletes saying "I have to run three rounds? Forget it, I'll just prepare for the Olympics instead of go to Euro's". I'm pretty sure this rule wasn't introduced one week ago, so if athletes wanted to receive a bye too, they should have run faster.
  24. heywoodu
    Though basically everyone agrees that this helped getting a very competitive field, since a whole ton of top athletes won't be skipping the Euro's in favour of Olympic preparation now. Of course some do, but less than normal. Besides, at Olympics the "top athletes" receive bye from qualifying/preliminaries, the only difference is that in that case it's most athletes instead of the top-12.

    I love this commercial with Margret Rumat Rumat Hassan so much
