It could be better for us, but not that I'm not pleased:
Few titbids about athletes and teams I followed:
- 4 x 400 m men and women relay, favourite discipline, 0.02 second short from silver and pure gold respectively, spectacular and tactical struggle, US men team unreacheble at the moment though;
- Isinbaeva, pole vault, as usual overconfident but undoubtedly she is still the strongest on the planet;
- Fraser-Pryce, 200 m, look who is lucky, Felix's injury helped her gold medal here;
- Bolt, 100 and 200 m, meh, strongest on the planet that goes without saying, but he didn't even strain himself to win, nevertheles he saved Jamaica on 4 x100 m relay being last leg and helped us to win this championship overall taking US team gold;
- Eaton, decathlon, unreachable at the moment, confirms his title;
- Chicherova, high jump, given her maternity leave ok'ish results, but could be much better, forgiveble though looking at how adorable she is, Shkolina takes her title this time;
- Tarabin and Abakumova, a javelin throw couple :D, could be much better given their season's results.
Overall impresion the whole event leaves is obvious fact that in the most part of the world white men can't jump, walk or run :D But this's old news.
Next stop is Winter Olympics in Sochi.
