World Athletics put out a statement that said those reports are inaccurate. They are still waiting for a decision.

I figured as much when there was no statement from a more official source like AIU, World Athletics or even Amusan. It seemed like the Nigerian press were confusing her being on the entry list with her being cleared to compete.

Anyone know why USA has five entries in the men's 200? Should be three plus a wildcard for Lyles no?

 

3007 Noah LYLES                                    USA             18 Jul 97       19.31           19.47                             1

2969 Kenneth BEDNAREK                              USA             14 Oct 98       19.68           19.82                          12

Another DSD athlete banned from competing.

She could win Olympic gold if Sydney decided to race the 400m at Paris 2024.  And with her already as one of the fastest all-time performers, it's looking increasingly likely. 

Isn't McLaughlin planning to double in Paris?

19.46 WL for Lyles 

I was even more impressed by Tebogo's 19.50! Tebogo seems made for this distance.

[dullard 466]

The ban isn't surprising at all. I wonder if she'd received notice already before competing at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial?

[dullard 466]

No Puripol Boonson in the 100 heats at the Asian Athletics Champs. Not recovered from his injury yet?

[dullard 466]

They're a female running in the women's category and not a medal contender so there shouldn't be much controversy.

[dullard 466]

Patterson will be making her return after having surgery to mend a fracture in her foot at the Silesia Diamond League. Not much time for her to get back in form to defend her world title.

[dullard 466]

Jamaican men's 4x1 is looking like it'll be a force again this year after three athletes went sub 10 for the first time in the heats of the Jamaican trials.

 

9.91 Kishane Thompson 

9.94 Kadrian Goldson

9.98 Rohan Watson

 

Other athletes that have been sub 10 already this year

 

9.99 Bouwahjgie NKRUMIE

9.95 Oblique SEVILLE (best 9.86)

9.89 Ackeem BLAKE

That 1500 field is SO SO stacked!

[dullard 466]

Just finished watching a replay. WHAT A MEET!!  Hodgkinson is looked amazing (Mu must be shook!) Kipyegon looking unbeatable across 1500-5000 and anything between. Hassan to do the 10k/Marathon double at worlds?

 

Is there a video of the two mile world record anywhere?

 

Edit: Nevermind I got it.

No Kerley entered in the 100 in Paris. Does this mean Jacobs will actually turn up? 

[dullard 466]

Dodging Kerley again 

It's a bit embarassing. If he's really not fit he should stop entering meets so it doesn't look like he's dodging.

[dullard 466]

 

[dullard 466]

The LA meet seems too hard to watch from Australia. 💩

[dullard 466]

Another Jacobs withdrawal (dodge?) 🙄

[dullard 466]

WA set the date wrong on the live stream for the Yokohama meet so I thought it was on today. 🙄

[dullard 466]

So annoying to watch athletes showboat instead of putting down a big time.

I mean 2023 Worlds in Budapest. Is there a single ranking of relay teams during the qualification period or do you have to compile one yourself based on the 2022 and 2023 top lists?

 

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't realise relays are in the road to Budapest rankings.

Edited May 8, 2023 by dullard

[dullard 466]

Other than those already qualified via 2022 worlds is qualification of relay teams for 2023 worlds based exclusively on the 2023 rankings?

[dullard 466]

YouTube for Aussies 😍 Unfortunately most of the meets are on in the middle of the night so I'll be watching replays.

[dullard 466]

So, Sifan Hassan had a bad day and still won the London Marathon 

[dullard 466]

15 year old Gout Gout just broke the Australian u18 200m record.

Mboma and Masilingi to reduce testosterone in order to compete again.
