NOC Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 GOSH you wuld think it is a competition of Sweden vs. Rest of World! It they did not protest through the correct channels, than you need to divert your anger and frustrations to your own sports federation who should know the rules. The rules are the rules, water tight and even if it may not have been fair, if it is within the rules it is fair. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 What a great race tonight! The 50km walk is definetely one of the high peak of these championships! Congratulations to Deakes! I felt sorrow for Schwazer. If only he had started to accelerate before than he did, he probably could have closed the gap with Diniz (and may be also with Deakes). Pity! Anyway great prove by him. He confirms his bronze of Helsinki when was the only italian athlete to get a medal in our most embarassly WC of ever. Let that be a lesson for Beijing and followings! ..and welcome France on the medal board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 And another surprise for the German team: Danny Ecker has managed to win the bronze medal in the men's pole vault. This is the first German men's pole vault medal ever in IAAF WCH history! Our team has still some athletes in the women's marathon and the men's 4x400 relay tomorrow, but with actually no chance of winning another medal. So I can already wrap it all up from a German perspective: The German team has won 7 medals (2 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze) and has thus surpassed the original prediction by one medal. This is the best result since the 2001 WCH in Edmonton. It gives confidence for Beijing -- and, of course, for the next WCH in 2009 in Berlin: Berlin 2009 Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in Canada, I can be sure that one of the TV networks WILL count that gold medal as "official." Don't ask me why, but I can fathom that it will happen. Anyway, there is still the final day of competitions tomorrow. It does look like the Americans did it again, in terms of the gold and total medals won here. Until then, I'll leave it as is and do a comparison overall tally in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I have to admit that I am very surprised that France has not done much better. I understood that they were on the rise in Atheltics.

Olympian2004 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 So all events of these WCH are over. Sadly, the German team has to finish the WCH with a slight disappointment since Kamghe Gaba, runner in the German men's 4x400 team, collided with Poland's Daniel Dabrowski at the third baton handover. The German TV presenter commented on the replay of the scene that Dabrowksi stood around on the track as if he waited for a cup of coffee. The result is that the German team, which could actually have ranked 5th or 6th, has finished last. However, now it's official that Germany has reached the fifth rank on the medal table -- that is maybe the biggest success for the team at these WCH, after the 12th rank in Helsinki 2005, the 24th rank in Athens 2004 and the 27th rank in Paris 2003. Congratulations also to all winners from the other nations. And congratulations to us all that we didn't have a doping incident at these WCH so far. Finally: Thank you and Sayonara Osaka -- and see you/Auf Wiedersehen in Berlin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillan Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Bad day again for Sweden! This World Championships was really bad!!!!!!!!!!

IAAF will not say the name before the analyse of the test is finished! I really hope that is not doping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
