Decent first throw by KJT , I'm off to bed now. Hopefully it starts pishing down before Thiam throws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I think KJT has basically won this unless Thiam has been working on her 800m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Sam Freedman reckons KJT will get about 100 points more than Thiam in the 800 metres. If Thiam throws anything high 50’s in the javelin that should send the gold medal back to Belgium. Low 50’s and it’ll be very tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Seems a bit odd that the leaders are throwing at separate times. As peasy23 said, you could easily have a situation where there are they are throwing in quite different conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have to do it in pools to avoid excessive gaps between an athlete’s attempts, but they should be having the top 10-12 athletes in the final group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Just heard one of the Eurosport commentators describing one of the kayak teams as quietly going about their business. I’d love to know what the f**k that means in the context of paddling down a river. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As peasy23 said, you could easily have a situation where there are they are throwing in quite different conditions. They group them for all the events based on their season's best time/distance/height etc. It just emphasizes the difference between KJT and Thiam when it comes to the javelin. It also meant Thiam had an extra bit of recovery time between events. Edited August 9 by peasy23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
