Very few flights go over Belarus airspace anymore. Can’t see Belarus pulling the kidnapping from a plane trick in Russia’s airspace - Putin won’t want Russian airspace put on an international embargo list just to help his less important ally.

Not the worst, but completely ridiculous to allow the athletes to decide. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Serious question. Also Tentoglou not only had WL but before the 6th jump, this was his worst competition of the entire season and even that shows how good he is to have been 5th at that point. Yes it wasn't such a strong final and some others were injured, but also 8.41 is the longest jump in an Olympic final since 2004, and here we had not one but TWO medalists jump 8.41m. Also prior to Tokyo, Tentoglou had the two biggest jumps in the world this year (8.60 and 8.48). So if you consider this to be a "very sad result" then what do you think about the men's long jump finals in Beijing, London, Rio? 8.41 there would've won gold too.

Dunadan 1,103 Posted August 2, 2021 #759 Share Posted August 2, 2021 About the shared gold, a jump-off with the current rules doesn't make much sense. It's not shooting, athletes get too tired to jump any higher and to decide the gold jumping again at lower and lower heights would be meh, worse than having two winners. If you don't want two golds, the only fair way would be a repeat the day after, with rested competitors- same for gymnastics and swimming (although there they could use thousands of seconds in extreme cases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually they shook hands anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
