Ján Volko destroyed today the 100m National record running (for Slovakia) a incredible 10.16 :hyper: but still 0.04 behind the WCH qualification standard :( this is too harsh standard IMO

It is not harsh, it is outright INSANE. It is higher than our National Record and the person that is behind our NR has ran in semi-finals in Olympics, has been to the World Championships and nearly even medalled in the European Championships, but got an injury right before the final, was only behind Vicaut and Lemaitre after semis.

Ankle injury for Filippo Tortu. He tripped on a step yesterday night. His coach and father says that he will skip the u20 European Championships in July and is not sure about the World Championships.

Oh come on, that is terribly unlucky.. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

From what I've read, in 2014 he run the 200m at the Youth Olympics, fell after the finish and broke both his arms. The last time he officially run the 200m before yesterday (2015) he then had to stop for 6 months for a muscular injury. He has been very unlucky with this distance.

 

However, he will be evaluated again next week.

Menno Vloon had a PR of 5.60m, jumped 5.70m yesterday to get the standard for the world champs, then moved to 5.85m and cleared that as well, new national record :d:NED

By putting the bar 25cm higher than your PB and jump over it? At least that's what I'd suggest :p
