Not only to the white minority, but to everyone in the country basically. He took away their farms and literally within a few years he had to beg other countries for help, because - as everyone saw coming - it turned the economy to absolute shit, the Zimbabwe currency to arguably one of the weakest in world history and unemployment rates skyrocketed. Mugabe was pretty much Africa's Adolf Hitler, one could say. I mean, both did some things that were pretty good (getting rid of colonizers, giving workers pretty decent rights), but overall they were just some of the worst scum to have ever walked the earth.

His life should be remembered indeed, as example how not to do things. He was pretty much the exact opposite of the Apartheid, just as terribly racist but the other way around (among others, of course it wasn't only about skin color, also black people who happened to have the bad luck to be from another ethnic group were massacred in I believe the 80's). What started out as something good (get their independence) went awfully wrong pretty quickly. One of the worst war criminals and breaker of simple human rights in history is now dead.

Robert Mugabe, known as one of the more racist and overall horrible dictators ever, is dead. How sad.

I'm a secret fan of 11:11 and 22:22

Oh you take that freaking back man We have the Vaalserberg and 'berg' means mountain, so here to your 'your country has no mountains' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaalserberg

Too bad, but an acceptable reason And 20km race walk is better than no race walk

I could mention some major cycling races but I doubt that's gonna help you much

Bonus points for going to the race walk, but you're sure you can't go to the generally way more epic 50k? Especially because this might literally be the last chance in your life to ever see that at a major event.

Well that sounds like a hoot and a half.

And the likes of Lyles and Fraser-Pryce and Taylor and Claye, booooo. Terrible!

Not specifically a fan, but I like the Minnesota Vikings since Marshall of How I Met Your Mother liked the Minnesota Vikings (and an epic epic last second playoff win helped)

Cool, the girls had some useful races in Argentina last month then because they were sure it was looking like only one of them would go. So I can say with 95% certainty that means Manex Silva (Spanish-based), Rhaick Bonfim, Taynara da Silva and Eduarda Ribera will be going to Lausanne

Now waiting for half the other WR's being broken within a few months there Forget Aguascalientes, there's a new track for free bonus speed in town

Because someone posting the craziest conspiracy theories and cool selfmade GIFs and so on hates attention...

This is final? I'm still really surprised about the two girls quotas...I mean, they've got some teenage girls working hard, but generally they were far behind and only one has been getting significantly closer..

The Dutch were not very good when the 100m, which actually is skating in one direction, was a World Cup event.

Final climb of the day coming up and well, this looks fun (for anyone not on a bike, that is).

I hate IAAF's scheduling so much, fuck them.

Well I'll be damned

That's surprisingly untrue I've noticed

At 8.61m

Plus this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_CARIFTA_Games 19.93....in the under-20 category.

Well yeah, I really don't think anyone who seriously is into athletics thinks Carl Lewis of all people was clean, do they?
