Primera medalla para España. Paquillo, como no, plata en 20km marcha por detrás del tricampeon mundial Jefferson Pérez. Imrpesionante el sprint final, que ya parecía que se quedaba con el bronce y pasó al tunecino en los últimos 20 metros. Y susto, porque le descalificaron por ese sprint, pero al final rectificaron y se queda con la plata.

 p.d: la sancion a gatlin de cuanto tiempo consta?

Paquillo es dado a volar en los ultimos metros, sino mirad esta foto del pasado campeonato de España:

Y aqui las explicaciones del juez que expulso a Paquillo (solo para ingleses )

I positioned myself around 40m. Perez
entered the stadium well clear (80-90m) and it is worth noting, he maintained
his speed to the finish. Goulah entered at least 30 m ahead of Fernandez.
There was not much change around the track until they entered the last 100m.
Goulah seemed to slow and perhaps begin his celebration not being aware that
Fernandez was making his charge. Side note, Odrizola asserted that Goulah was
obviously very tired and not able to walk any faster and that Goulah had turned
around and saw Fernandez coming but could not respond. I did not see Goulah
turn around and I don't know how he felt...of course
Odrizola did! Continuing...as this was developing, I proceded toward the
finish direction. I stepped forward so that Fernandez could obviously seed
me..and with red paddle in hand. Fernandez continued his charge. 20 m or so
prior to the finish line, Ferndandez fully 'shifted' gears and was (to me) very
'obviously' off the ground. his acceleration is what moved him to Goulah and
allowed him pass within the last stride...much to Goulah's surprise..clearly he
didn't know Fernandez was coming. Fernandez's move was very shocking and easy
to call. At least one jury membered asserted that perhaps the difference in the
closing speed of Goulah and Fernandez is what led to my decision. Not true. In
fact, even if Fernandz was not overtaking someone, he was so far off that I
would have made the call.

I had at my side Nicola Maggio (level III, one of the recorders in this meet)
he is in complete agreement with me. David Katz (US-IAAF Tech Comm) was at
track side and also agrees in the flagrant lifting. Bob Hersh from his view in
the announcing booth also agrees.

Aun asi, felicidades a Paquillo que ademas de un gran atleta y un tio cojonudo asi como su entrenador un dios de la marcha llamado Korcenioski o como se escriba, aunque con smolarek igual empiezo a aprender polaco, jejeje.

Un saludo y a animar a españa!!!

Por cierto, otra foto con la carita que se le quedo al paisano al que paso el gran Paquillo.

ahh, la sancion a Gatlin creo que esta pendiente del juicio que mantiene en EEUU, ya que la sancion sio me equivoco la tiene que mandar la federacion del infractor a instancia de la IAAF.

Os pondría una foto de Ana Bogdanova, hasta ahora lo mejor del mundial, pero no la encuentro.

Han repescado a Higuero para la final de los 1500... ¡Se están portando bien estos jueces...!

Segunda medalla para España, Mayte Martinez bronce en 800.

Tercera medalla, bronce para María Vasco en 20 km marcha, como Paquillo.

Alguien sabe cuando es la final de altura?

A las 12.

Joer los realizadores no han dado ni un salto de Ruth, sólo han dado imágenes suyas calentando. En fin, ha pasado los 3 primeros saltos a la primera, el próximo será de 1,97.

Bueno, pues no ha podido superar los 2 metros y ha quedado eliminada.

Que putada

En el relevo de 4X400 femenino de Cuba han participado Pernía y Calatayud.(No es broma).
