thepharoah 2,264 Posted May 28, 2021 #21 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'm really happy our Player Mostafa Amr finally starts to deliver god results , he made 21.12 m and finished 4th in men's shotput , this guy won NCAA back in 2018 i think , but failed to deliver big after that , hopefully it's just the start for bigger things to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,500 Posted May 28, 2021 #22 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I know we shouldn't expect much, but still I can't believe how poorly the technical events are being shown (or mostly, not shown), especially in this new format 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!

Yep, welcome to Next Gen ideas bullshit. This is on par with break dance being an Olympic "sport" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Instead of an epic shot put showdown like in Doha 2019, we can have something where (theoretically) a bunch of athletes have five 22m+ attempts, after which the top-3 looks like this: win with 21.10m, second with 20.40m and third with an X. It is really a very innovative way to absolutely kill the whole tension a field event can have..
