Orangehair43 177 Posted August 5, 2021 #371 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Looking more and more like the London Stadium will lose its Athletics track within the next few years - So the Diamond league will permanently cease to have a meet in London.

Jur 542 Posted August 10, 2021 #372 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Anyone knows if there's a "Road to Tokyo" style page for "Road to Eugene"'??? I can't find anything. Also, somewhere to look at the women's 35km toplist results? It's nowhere to be found and the qualification for that event already started.

I can’t give you the info you need but I can tell you that Irish 800m runner Mark English got the standard while running to get the standard for Tokyo (last day possible!). There won’t be too many people who qualify for Olympics and world championships with the one race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 177 Posted August 10, 2021 #375 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I wonder how many countries will get the ability to use a wild card for a defending champion and get a bigger team in an event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors saying the format will be a 35 km race walk M & W mass start event at the same time, but after the race the times for the 2 best males and 2 best females of each country will be counted. source: Alfons Juck. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very messy and confusing and won’t even work on tv very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that sounds fantastic, another event where seeing who is doing well is nearly impossible! And TV having graphics other than the individual standings during the race? Haha, no way, why would we want that? That would only make things clearer, can't have that !

heywoodu 13,560 Posted August 10, 2021 #380 Share Posted August 10, 2021 By the way, junior worlds are next week....in Nairobi! https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-u20-championships/nairobi21 Sadly, I don't think any event will have a clearer effect of the lack of spectators (I assume, at least) than this one...the youth worlds a few years ago there were absolutely electric, the whole damn stadium was moving because of all the cheering and dancing and shouting and partying!
