Athletics Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

GB tennis player Dan Evans who is going to Tokyo was banned for a year for cocaine use.

 

"Evans was banned from playing professional tennis due to testing positive for cocaine in April 2017. Evans claims that he took a relatively small amount of cocaine out of competition, but that some permitted medication he was taking was then 'contaminated' by the cocaine because he accidentally put the leftover cocaine in the pocket of his washbag, thus testing positive in-competition. Evans was eligible to return to the professional circuit on 24 April 2018, having completed a one-year ban."

 

Sounds like Richardson may get off much more lightly even if she does miss the OG.

She could get away with as little as a public warning but it's automatic disqualification from the US trials whatever, so goodbye Tokyo...

I think USATF is not legally forced to choose the top 3 in each event, but it might be that if they don't do it, they open some kind of Pandora's Vase and a lot of lawsuits could be filed...

 

the 2 with the highest interest in this case are Jenna Prandini (who was 4th and could get a place among the 3 starters in the 100m individual race) and above all, Aleia Hobbs, who finished 7th and could be selected at least as a reserve for the relay instead of being out at 100%...

 

will be an interesting next 4 weeks or so...

No Ninon Chapelle (Guillon-Romarin)... It's a pity, it would have been an amazing story. Yet, the effort itself deserves all the praise.

    • Well. A lot of the music played in Denmark for Christmas is the same as most others (at least Western countries)   But I would say that most Danish Christmas music goes into one of three categories.   All three have plenty of different songs, but I put out some personal favourites   The old songs, mainly religious ones. Some have been made into more modern versions.  For this I pick Gasolin's version of Dejlig er Jorden, an old hymn of which the Danish text is from 1850:       The second is the more funny or sarcastic songs. Making fun of Christmas. An older one of these is Jul, det Cool, a rather funny "anti-christmas song"     English translated lyrics: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/jul-det-cool-christmas-its-cool.html   The third category is from the annual TV advent calendars whose theme songs very often become part of the christmas playlists.   These include both advent calendars made for the families and some more "grown up" versions   Lille Store Verden from the family calendar Juleønsket (The Christmas wish) in 2015     And from the "Grown up" calendar Jul på Vesterbro   English lyrics: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/jul-pa-vesterbro-christmas-vesterbro.html

    • Their fight for Klimov, however, is embarrassing. If they insist on him, they shouldn't be start at all. It's clear that when you help them, they start overreaching instead of thanking, that someone invites them to your country.   https://www.skijumping.pl/wiadomosci/37722/rosjanie-nie-przyjada-do-polski-z-oczywistych-wzgledow-pominiemy-zakopane/
    • Eenzame Kerst - André Hazes (not my cup of tea)
    • Wouldn't be a proper lead-up to an Olympics without plenty of fear-mongering from the media.  There are concerns, but not the existential crisis that some want to make it seem like everything is going to come crashing down.

    • Hi guys, Last minute plans to check off 2 items from my bucket list: 1. Watch the winter olympics 2. See the northern lights Contemplating going for some ski jumping action, have always been fascinated! May put in a few hockey games. Short track speed skating and figure skating are a bit too expensive. Is anyone here going to attend any ski jumping event? I am targeting Men's LH on the 14th and trying to plan my itinerary around it. Would it be worth it? Men's super team on the 16th is also an option but was hoping to leave for Tromso, Norway to chase the lights around that time too (hence preferring the event on the 14th). Please let me know if you have any opinions. Thanks
