IAAF World Championships 2015 Starts Saturday!
Everyone will know the 'Bird's Nest' by now. For Beijing 2008, it was the opening and closing ceremony venue, as well as the athletics venue.
Once again, the giant toilet bowl will revive for the 2015 edition of the IAAF World Championships in Athletics. For the next ten days will see various athletics events decided with the possibility of world and championship records. Starting Saturday through Sunday the 30th, possible Olympic tickets might be punched in as well. First the IAAF's requirements must be met in order for Rio 2016 dreams to happen.
In the US, Universal Sports will have live coverage of the day session all ten days, with evening coverage on the Saturdays and Sundays of the worlds will be taped for airing in the afternoon on NBC. Also the IAAF app is very helpful.

Moscow 2013: Caption This: WWYID? UPDATE: Standard Traditional Greeting!
WWYID: What Would Yelena Isinbayeva Do?
Remember, Isinbayeva hates propaganda, like I do (and that's why I like her, so fuck all of you LGBT mafia). But what does she think about her teammates:
Shouldn't the IAAF's code of conduct suggests NO 'public display of propaganda'? Someone's asses will be in collective trouble right there...
Oh and once again, Isinbayeva apologized, so can you guys forgive her?
EDIT: the kiss between Kseniya Ryzhova and Tatyana Firova is NOT homosexual. They are both married and this is not against Putin's policies. It is Russian/former Soviet/Eastern European tradition, for women and men to do this to each other. Standard greeting, the equivalent of the handshake! Please my fellow westerners let it go! It is tradition! Let it go!

Yelena Isinbayeva: 'I Think I Have Been Misunderstood...'
Link.
After what she said on Thursday, she knew she had to apologize to the LGBT mafia, who some wanted her dead, especially on twitter. God, I hate those people who get so uptight about her opinion, then call her shit like 'homophobe.' Tyrants.
You should also see her OFFICIAL facebook page. Flooded with the LGBT mafia as well.
To the LGBT mafia, you're making it worse for yourselves. GROW THE FUCK UP.
Oh, and go Yelena!

IAAF World Championships in Athletics Moscow 2013 Starts Saturday!
You gotta love world championship season 2013. After some good stuff at BCN2013 with the Fina Worlds, now it's the IAAF and their turn, with their World Championships in Athletics, Moscow 2013, starting Saturday morning.
There will be a couple finals, including a marathon and the men's 10,000m final on the first day. About a year ago, the men's 10,000m final at London 2012 was won by Mo Farah, one of two golds he won at London, including the men's 5,000m final. Long distance races are the best!
Also on Saturday, the men's decathlon begins as well.
Here in the states, all nine days are televised, with NBC picking it up Saturday afternoon, as well as Sunday early afternoon (Eastern) and next weekend for the final two days. Universal Sports has weeklong coverage.
And if all else fails, Mos2013.ru, their official site, should have live timing.

Oscar Pistorius? Murderer? Say it isn't so!
Link.
This will no doubt be a changing moment in his career besides making it to the semifinals of the men's 400m at London 2012.
I've been a fan of his for the last couple of years. No matter if it was London 2012, Daegu 2011 or even any IAAF Diamond League event, he was there just to show everyone that he could run with able-bodied runners.
It is sad that some people will look down to him just like to others like O.J. Simpson, Ray Lewis, and others that have been in the negative spotlight over the past decades. I'm going to say that he probably didn't do it, instead someone came in and burglarized the home. Not surprising, that in post-Apartheid South Africa, burglaries have increased nationwide.
This will have the same light as the O.J. Simpson trial in the months to come. As a result, feminist groups will protest his actions once he's free, and if he ever returns to the track, I'm assuming he'll end up dealing with death threats as well.
With that in mind, he will be a free man soon. Think of the Badr Hari saga where the boxer/kickboxer was framed of murder in the Netherlands and has been undergoing legal wranglings the past few months. He will be free as well.
FREE OSCAR!
