nenasiel som starsie vlakna tak zacnem odznova. Uz sa tu odst pisalo o sprisnenych limitoch narodnych zvazov pre OH maraton, tak ozivym diskusiu najprv maratonom, ako je to momentalne v australii ako priklad :

nariodny zvaz si pritvrdil limit takisto, na 2:12 a 2:32

velmi znama bezkyna Benita Willis z minulosti majsterka sveta v krose pod dievcenskym menom, si zabehla na istotu 2:28 limit jasne pod 2:32 a nechcela nic riskovat ani riskovat unavu aby si nenarusila drahovu sezonu a tak nenahanala rychlejsi cas

medzi muzmi australcanovi iaaf A limit nestacil kedze nedokazal prisnejsi narodny limit

povdony clanok neskrateny :

The former world cross country champion, now 32 years of age, finished second in 2:28:34 behind Alemitu Abera winning time of 2:23:14.

“My main aim was to run under 2:32 flat, which is our qualifying standard,” Willis said.

“After the Vegas half marathon, winning that in 70:40, I knew I was in really good shape.

“I didn’t want to risk trying to go for a very fast time today; I just wanted to get a really good, solid qualifier that would definitely get me in the team, and then recover quickly from it, do some shorter stuff on the track and prepare for the marathon at the Olympics.”

In the men’s race Shawn Forrest finished fourth in 2:14:37, an IAAF A-qualifier, but worthless in the eyes of Athletics Australia’s se­lectors, who have set their own marathon qualifying standard of 2:12:00.

z hladiska australie je tiez zaujimava situacii v 50 km chodza A limit ma splnenych uz 5 chodcov, z toho dvaja mali od zvazu divoku kartu za vysledok na MS a tak o tretie miesto sa bojovalo v kvalifikacii v decembri ktore dostal byvaly svetovy rekorder Deakes dvaja dalsi chodci s A limitom si len mozu hlavu buchat ze su z krajiny z tak silnou konkurenciou

mimochodom 3 svk chodci a 1 ceska chodkyna su momentalne v australii na vysokohorskom sustredeni, vratane Mateja Totha ktory ma od SAZ nominaciu na OH uz istu

Konkurencia je na 50km predsa vsade stejna, kazdy predsa moze trenovat na 50km chodze. ;)

mas pravdu mal som napisat sirka domacej spicky velmi malo krajin kde viac ako 3 maju A limit

v australii ostra debata o sprisneni limitov pre maraton, spovedali sefbafunara ze preco sprisnuju limity len maratoncom a skritizovali jeho logiku. Tiez zaujimave statisticke zobrazenia a pristup ku argumentacii, nieco pre Petrove statisticke zuby na zahryznutie.
