Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

Sam Kendricks is out due to a positive COVID-19 test, there goes half of the awesome atmosphere which has been surrounding the pole vault lately :cry: 

 

Jakob Ingebrigtsen has decided not to do the 5km and will focus entirely on the 1500m. Taoufik Makhloufi has withdrawn and said an injury is the reason, so we will see him compete just as often as we have in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021 combined. Oh well.

 

Dafne Schippers is out of the 100m, there goes a nice 7th place in one of the semis.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I dont know if it was posted already but there was fire in a bus with big group of Polish athletes who were going to stadium for preparations. Fortunately nobody isnt injured and everyone are ok, probably beside mental atmosphere...

I guess Duplantis cannot enjoy and celebrate his gold medal now as he did not beat all 

I agree. I want him to beat all. This sucks!

 

 But I feel for Kendricks too. He seems to be close Duplantis and a really good guy, :(

Maybe that time reading was accurate after all and that wasn't the problem? :facepalm:
