She will run in Budapest tonight, but not Monaco on Wednesday. And that will be the end of her season. I assume Budapest offered a much bigger appearance fee?

Someone said that Budapest is known to be generous. Probably also private jet & other advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a retro 1949 feel, don’t you think? Wheat! Busty muscly ladies! OK, no iron foundry or big moustache, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on Budapest's Statue of Liberty: Btw, they also revealed the qualification system and the entry standards: https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/62ff627cef4200119b5555be.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,593 Posted August 19, 2022 #216 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The entry standards are absurd especially in the sprint races. What is WA thinking? They want to get rid of all the minnows from World Championships? Only the rich & famous can compete? FireRun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this hilarious standards I believe that 60% of athletes will qualify by ranking rather than by standard. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted August 20, 2022 #218 Share Posted August 20, 2022 What are those standards Karstoft, the women's bronze medal winner on the 200m at the European Championships won her medal in a time above that qualifying standard. Same with the men's 100m bronze medal winner Azu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,217 Posted August 20, 2022 #219 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I wonder how many countries have "active" NR in 100m under 10.00, surely there will be one or two qualified via ranking I will bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,195 Posted August 26, 2022 #220 Share Posted August 26, 2022 2023 World Champs timetable: https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/63087dd9c5235363651fbbe3.pdf 100 final on our national holiday (Aug 20). That evening session will also have the men's hammer throw final with a Hungarian medal chance, so the stadium will certainly be full.
