Olympic Qualifying Standards

Barely 3 days rest after his 47.07. The guy is a stud. Hope he gets some good time off and comes for that WR next year....

They are the birth place of people who have played in or are playing in MLB.

That make sense! Thanks!...

[proofs in the pudd'in]

That's my take but I'm not that nationalistic....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Ok, so we have the QS, approved UQ, and then the WAWR....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Nice! Big differences....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Thanks, so for example the 400m is taking 48 athletes but what priority is given or does that not matter? If only 10 athletes meet the qualifying standard...

And I'm guessing this is placed near the finish or midway on the track or runway? One gauge seems a bit to uncertain....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Interesting! So how does the World Rankings play into it - is it just the top n placements....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Is it me or did they become more difficult? Seems like the standards are much more difficult than previously. Are there exceptions? Last year for example...

[proofs in the pudd'in]

When they gives us a reading is it the average over a certain number of gauges?

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Yes, that's him. I believe he was very successful as well....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

And some of those Sumo guys are pretty quick and powerful....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

And from what I understand he was very athletic....

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Not bad! Speaking of French Decathletes what is up with Mayer? Will he be trying for another OG?...

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Good Ole Andre - massive man and from what I hear good all round guy. I did not think of him so much as an athlete but more so as an entertainer/circus...

[proofs in the pudd'in]

When is the next installment in this series?

[proofs in the pudd'in]

I don't know but those guys are huge! Looks even to me!...

[proofs in the pudd'in]

As I was watching some videos of Crouser the commentator mentioned his height as 6'7" - does anyone know of any athlete, in any sport, who is bigger...

The competition is incredible. It's going to be a great season next year with these guys. I do expect close races where Warholm may lose a few given such...
