Putting on the same level a repeated cheater and a bad boy/one time opportunist is not very fair.
I reckon you're referring to the Kemboi case ... You can't blame an athlete for obtaining a medal within the rules and then lump him with another athlete obtaining a medal outside those rules
From a French perspective, I've felt we've been screwed too much times to complain
He criticized Loginov who has been convicted, I don't see the hatred here. Then Shipulin answered because Loginov is his teammate, it's just a little hitch between two great athletes respecting each other.
Fourcade is not anti-Russian
What a tournament for us
However we will probably not see Tokyo ... probably one place for GB/France/Spain + don't know about how the Ireland/Eire thing will be sorted out, and then maybe a OQT with Australia/Samoa
I wouldn't go this far concerning Fourcade but yes there is a clear bias
No one formulated an inch of suspicion about Brorsson who is the woman Pidruchnhyi of this Champs
Didn't like the comment of MF about Pidruchnyi on French TV ...
When asked about the winner (the interviewer raised obvious doubts, shame on him) he responded "congrats to him, until proven otherwise"
Holloway 7.35 ...
After his rather disappointing 3rd place yesterday in the long jump (7.95 meh) he's also going to destroy the field in the 60 flat later on (watch out for Sani Brown too)
Too bad it's on ESPN 3
Excellent performance for Parisse, lacking a bit of extra gas but the 3 ahead were really strong
Backscheider 8, he was not meant to be part of the skiathlon until Manificat got sick
Great hopes for the relay once again
Estonia 3rd after the 2 first athletes in the women's relay and 9th in the men's ... therefore they will be 6th in the mixed relay : that is undeniable
Great run from the French this afternoon, only one missed shot to keep the title
C.Bened is already two times world junior champion while still competing in youth category
That's pretty usual I guess given the tiny differences between Russian and Belarussian way of spelling the names ... this is a simple transliteration
But I don't get why they came to create a new form, registering his older self as "non active". I don't reckon this has been applied to any other cross-border athlete
Nikita Lobastov hasn't retired, he actually won a medal two days ago in the individual
If my calculations are right Belarus' Mikita Labastau is in reality ... Russia's Nikita Lobastov
