Swewi 297 Posted August 22, 2021 #51 Share Posted August 22, 2021 One very suspect disqualification in the 400 hurdles from that Sweden got 4 golds with only 3 athletes participating in the championships Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tia Clayton, who only ran 11.60 this year, was less than 0.3 slower. Also I doubt that „she“ will still be allowed to compete when „she“ is 26 years old. I doubt she will be competing next year - either the rules get changed or she will somehow get bared from Eugene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems pretty small and that might be a disadvantage with higher hurdles. Belocian also looked like a sure thing at junior level, but never developed as expected. 13.30 at the moment maybe, not in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,127 Posted August 23, 2021 #54 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I've been hyping up the Alekna brothers for years on this forum and now Mykolas is an U20 European and World champion It's our first medal in 9 years and I think that Mykolas is already strong enough to do some damage in the senior discus as well, because in his second ever senior discus competition he threw a 63.50 and he had one foul where the discus hit the 65 metre line and that would have been good enough for an Olympic final Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,571 Posted August 23, 2021 #55 Share Posted August 23, 2021 So in the end we got 3 medals and a bunch of 4th/5th/6th places (and also a couple of U20 NRs). Not sure what to think. Some disappointing results, some nice surprises as well. Happy Deligianni won bronze in the women's 800 after she got 4th at the Europeans. This is Greece's first ever medal in any middle distance event at a major championships in any junior/youth age category. Most of our athletes in Nairobi will be back next year, except for our three medalists. Filippidou (women's discus) has been a big disappointment in the major championships this year and totally messed up at the European U20s and now the World U20s. Hopefully next year she can redeem herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitinsanker 179 Posted August 24, 2021 #56 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Great 3 medals , 10 top 8 places ....... Great for India considering in the last 17 editions or so have had only 4 medals 🔥🔥🔥 strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
