35km Greek National Race Walking Championships (Megara, Greece) -

 

Antigoni Drisbioti 2:47:48. WL and new PB/NR (her previous PB/NR was 2:49:55 from last year where she got gold at the European Race Walking Cup).

 

This is also the 9th best performance of all-time in the world in this event. Of course it is a new event but still, very good performance especially since the conditions today were not the best. She is 37 years old and works as a waitress at her family's tavern in a small city (Karditsa), and trains usually after midnight when the tavern closes :bowdown:

 

 

Also 2:51:51 for 21 yo Kiriaki Filtisakou, who easily gets the standard for Eugene WCH, her previous PB from last year was 2:55:10. Of course we don't know much yet as this is a new event, but seems like a very good result for her age. Second best in the world (after Drisbioti) as well.

if everything goes according to plan, 100m Olympic Champion, Marcell Jacobs, will make his season debut in Berlin, on February 4th...

 

last week, instead, Larissa Iapichino (May) made her comeback in the women's long jump after the injury that made her miss the Olympics...she did jump 6.59 in a meet in Ancona (ITA)...

in the same meet, 3 Italian sprinters ran the qualifying time for the Indoor Worlds in the men's 60m (Luca Lai was the fastest in 6.56)...

Duplantis starts of his year at 6.02, very easy.

 

Going for 6.19!  His WR of 6.18 was set in Glasgow 2020, pretty much the last major meet before the Martian invasion.

First place and 16.79 for :GRE Andreas Pantazis. WL and indoor PB. His improvement each year has been very impressive:

2015 - 14.36

2016 - 14.99

2017 - 15.01

2018 - 15.83

2019 - 16.08 (bronze at European U20 Championships)

2020 - 16.26i

2021 - 16.86

 

I think this year he will definitely go over 17m, maybe even 17.20m as long as he stays healthy. He’s still just 21 years old. A good prospect for us that has always been kind of under the radar compared to some of his Greek peers.

 

Also good to have another good triple jumper for Greece as Tsiamis is 39 yo and will be retiring after this year.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
