Dragon 1,674 Posted July 23, 2017 #371 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Rumour is that some of the American threatened to sue the IAAF. At the moment only 4 have qualified to take part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted July 23, 2017 #372 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Ridiculous. They should have put women's 50k into Olympics long time ago, and definitely not this mixed relay nonsense. Edited July 23, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many events where the medal winners at the U20 european championships could have medalled at the U23 european championships or the U18 world championships, i think they should seperate those competitions more, so that its possible to compete at all of them or at least two of them. She improved the NR to 55.96, but didn't even win! Giger (SUI) ran 55.90. What's with the Swiss improvement in track events in recent years?

What's with the Swiss improvement in track events in recent years? Very surprising, the swiss girl improved her PB by more than 1.5 seconds, which is extremely weird at a distance of only 400 m ... Switzerland has also Hussein, Kambundji, Zbären, Fontanive and Sprunger. I guess we have to wait how the swiss girl progresses, she was born in 1999, but looks like a 25 year old, so its probably 50/50 whether she will continue to improve or not. It was kinda the same with Zbären, she reached the final in Beijing in 2015 and everyone thought that she would get only better, but then she completely vanished ... Slovenian fans should be happy that they have two great track talents who will be able to compete in London, with Zupan and the male 400 m runner.

OlympicsFan 776 Posted July 23, 2017 #379 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I think the german female 4x100 relay just set a new U20 world record ... ?! Probably the first world record here, Niklas Kaul could also set a new world record by running 4:21 or faster later on. Duplantis probably wont be able to jump 6 m for now, so we probably wont see any more world records.
