Despite its huge size India is not a sport superpower so it was nice that an Indian thrower won the javelin-competition.

That is a nice way of putting it

Agree though. Cool with an Indian gold in an event you rarely see Indians doing well in.

Two outstanding golds for Norway. Lasitskene with gold in the high jump. Hopefully Russia with a clean track and field body will be back in strength for Paris.

Classy.

I didn´t make the headline in the Youtube video by the way - disgusting

He considered peeing in the other bottles but the logistics didn't work out.

They're now called WA = World Athletics. Since 2019 actually.

Fingers crossed ban coming from the IAAF.

I hope that he is banned from the Paris Olympics for his poor sportsmanship! That was awful.

Woo-hoo!!! Wilma Murto another European Championship gold medal, this time indoors.
What a woman, what an athlete. - had a one good try from 491.

Sha'Carri Richardson's toned down look at record-setting outing could help explain how she found 'peace back on the track'

We're used to seeing Richardson announce her presence with colorful hair and racing fits inspired by the iconic Florence Griffith-Joyner. But these days, it seems she's letting her running speak for her.

Marcell Jacobs looks nothing like world's fastest man anymore

If Tokyo was the greatest meet Jacobs will ever have, it was a heck of a run. But the reason athletes like Usain Bolt and Allyson Felix are revered is because they were able to dominate over multiple Olympic and World cycles.

World Championship began this weekend. Women's heptathlon just finished with one of the closest finishes that I've seen KTJ beat Anna Hall by 20 points for the gold.

 

[Jussi]

Upset in the men's hammer throw, Canada's Ethan Katzberg wins the gold. Guy looks like a frontman of a cover rock band. Or a Ravishing Rick Rude impersonator.

 

[Jussi]

Noah Lyles officially the fastest man in the world.

Which events are suffering because of the absence of Russia? Don't get me wrong, I fully support excluding Russia from all sports but it is undeniable that some sports suffer from it more than others.

None.
