Well you at least translated the discipline names from German to English .

The DLV essentially nominated almost any available athlete except for some B qualifiers in technical events among them junior NR holder Gierisch in the TJ. You need some imagination to see athletes like Gabius surviving the heats while one could have well imagined to see Möllinger getting an individual spot or Stephanie Lichtl in 100mH (13.03).

This aside there are three world leading athletes (Mikitenko, Friedrich, Obergföll) and additionally 27 athletes more who are in the world's TOP 10 with three athletes per country.

I agree, they could have selected another woman in the 100mh. Also, Kohlmann's great 52.4 on the flat (she came through so strong in the last 80m! There's much more there) shows she should be going faster over the hurdles. I'd have chosen her too.

I bet Hoffmann wishes she hadnt messed around with the 800m now.

While the DLV could have send Lichtl as B qualifier, there's no way Kohlmann could be nominated over either 400m with hurdles or flat. In both cases there's no A qualifier nad Nwachukwu and Tilgner fill the single available B qualifier spot.

Oh dear, I didn't even think of that. ops: :lol: How stupid.

By the way: Sabrina Mockenhaupt has announced not to do the 10k/marathon double. She'll only run the marathon.
