IMHO, you don't jump twice unless you don't really want to be there. Or, in 1988, three times (Juergen?).

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

Gotta feel bad for Karpov, especially as it now seems the equipment was at fault

Clay great Shot, i thought Roman would have clawed him back in that event

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

I see that the extrapolation people already have Seberle well clear of Clay in the end - we'll see . . .

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

I presume you are talking about me ;-)

its gonna be a very close finish i think... one slip up by either of them and i think its over..
Clay did well in the Shot where i thought he would lose ground.....
its gonna be exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tafnut]

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

Clay out at 2.03 (made 2.00) and Seberle still going after clear at 2.06. That'll cost Clay plenty.

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

50+ points, probably enough for Roman to get his nose in front by 25 points

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

Anyone know what lane Clay has for the 400m???????

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

Did they not stop the HJ due to the weather?
What would they do when it resume?

Tough situation.

>>What would they do when it >resume?
Tough situation.<<

In my ONE decathlon (at age 41) I found the hardest part to be the RE-warming up for every event. (Actually getting out of bed for Day Two was the hardest part). This delay will help Clay, cuz Seberle will be iced for continuing in the HJ.

Re: Mens decathlon WC2005

I thought Karpov clearly jumped.

Do they ever have track in domed stadiums? A drag that the weather plays such a huge role. Klüft vs. Barber in 200. In today's 200 heats, a +4.3 heat followed directly by a -2.1, a difference of 6.4--with qualifying for time. Clay getting break in 100, then having to take his last jump at 2.03 in pouring rain.
