Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

The PB differences in the 800m and the long jump are marginal (2% and 1% respectively) - don’t know about SB’s, but that’s not a big gap unlike the javelin

Percentage difference isnt the big factor though, its how its represented in the points, off of PB's its:

200m +150
Long Jump + 25
Javelin -300
800m +90
Add to her being down -50.

She needs a Javelin PB or Thiam to be nowhere near PB shape in her runs (her hurdles wasn't great at all).
 
Infairness he was one of the first to congratulate the winner, but pulling the injury bullshit is a very British tennis player routine, just hobble back to the changing room IF your injured
He was sat on the ground for a couple of minutes then went over. Fair play.
 
Hadn’t realised Lyles has asthma…

This is definitely the pure cynic side of me speaking, but I am always suspicious of competitive runners that have been diagnosed with asthma.

Anyone know if there is fairly convincing evidence it is legitimate so I can scold the cynical bastard part of my grey matter?
