If this is the worst thing, I really don't mind

In 30 minutes you can miss a lot more than in 10 seconds.

Yeah no worries, I'm watching until this final is over and then I'm hoping to be back in time for the Death March. In terms of finals it's really mostly about being able to watch the 100m spoiler free (and possibly first the semis), the long jump would be a bonus although I might finish it before we leave. The women's hammer throw I'll just click on the result

Nope, that's (geo)blocked too. I might try it with Hola or something, so just in case: could you post the link to the livestream? Since geoblocked livestreams are not visible without knowing the link.

Could you help out providing the link to where this can be replayed? I'll try VPN stuff to see if geoblocking can be....solved

Afresh?

Nice interview though with Busby and Dabó, the guys of yesterday. Busby called Dabó the greatest man with the greatest heart he ever met and said he is an angel, Dabó said he is still very proud of himself

Literally every week would be poor planning

Yeah I see it's showing something, but 1) it's an absolute nightmare to navigate on that site and 2) I don't know if it's possible to replay it. As I said, I don't need anything to watch live, it's all about replay.

In between you guys burning each other: is there a decent place to watch the athletics online? And I mean not live. Live is no problem, I can watch on TV, the problem is watching things I can't watch live. Dutch TV doesn't show it, I can't 'rewatch' both Belgian and English TV and I can't record the Brazilian TV here (or record anything). So far, nothing of today's heats is on YouTube, so that doesn't help either. IAAF's official livestream is geoblocked no matter what I try, so that's also no option.

Van Vleuten These world championships were not exactly a promotion for women's cycling, were they? Both the time trial and road race were really impressive by one person, making them both incredibly boring

Yeah most people are not disagreeing with the decision, even in the Netherlands. That's not the main problem at all.

Which is not a surprise at all this year.

Plus she's just not that good anymore.

Today's Death March is confirmed, because yesterday it wasn't so bad according to IAAF

Nothing wrong with the graphics so far, I guess yesterday when people were complaining it was different?

Always against Algeria

10.80 and 10.85 after two heats, this track is fast

Alright, rookie.

You don't have a start list or something?

SAFP, holy smokes

Which I'm mostly going to miss

Right, my first taste of the much discussed graphics (since there was nothing odd in the marathon).

And then still UCI can take this decision in a few minutes instead of waiting for said rider to determine pretty much the entire main portion of the race and then DQ him hours after the fact.

UCI really need to step up their game. If you're gonna DQ someone for something that happened with 120+ kilometers to go, take them out of the race instead of waiting until after the race. The situation was very clearly on screen, could have made the decision within 5 minutes. Once that decision wasn't made, you could assume nothing was wrong, since this thing (and way worse) happens a million times in races without any sort of punishment, but there you go. I wonder if FIFA is going to see a foul by Messi, wait until he scored three goals, and then gives him a red card and takes away the goals after the match Now the entire last 20-30 kilometers of the race were pretty much made by someone who - according to UCI - shouldn't have been there anymore, yet they didn't take him out yet UCI making themselves look silly again Nothing wrong with the sprint, although it was obvious not everyone is a master in positioning yet.
