Grassmarket 2,715 Posted September 18, 2020 #361 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I am guessing the fact that so many red-headed women are celebrating means that the Irish have won the Junior Women’s race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that that our runner (Jakub Jelonek) and yours Callum Wilkinson(?) will achieve the spots later this year (if there will be anyother event this year) or in next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted September 29, 2020 #367 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Uh...some new changes to the World Athletics Technical Rulebook. Quote Technical Rule 1 (was IAAF rule 100) – World Championships and Olympic Games no longer excluded from competitions where events may be held in an alternative format TR 6.4.7-8 (was 144.4) – Physical support by designated individuals and pacing by lights or similar added to list of allowable assistances TR 17.15.3 (was 163.15.c) – Athletes in track races may carry water or refreshment providing it was there from the start or supplied at an official station TR 20.8 (was 166.8) – It is recommended that in races longer than 800m where rounds are conducted, the number of athletes qualifying by time (as opposed to place) should be minimised TR 25.17 (was 180.17) – The time allowed for trials across all field events, with more than three athletes competing (or for their very first trial), is again one minute (as was the case prior to 2017) TR 54.7 (was 230.7) – In walks, the term “Pit Lane” is renamed “Penalty Zone” TR 56.3.2 (was 250.3.b) – The required length of the “unhampered” run at the start of cross country races is reduced from 1500m to 300m Competition Rule 32 (was 261) – The 20,000m, 25,000m and 30,000m are deleted from the list of events for which world records are recognised “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that absolute horror of a semi-knock-out format where the 3rd best of the day can win in events like long jump Gold with 8.10m, silver with 8.65m and bronze with 8.54m, it is entirely plausible.
