Ryan Crowser new shot put WR 23.38!  Millrose Games New York!

 

Perhaps not….

 

Just to confirm - Ryan Crouser 76 feet 8 and one half inches is a New World Record for the Shot Put!

Wow, I was actually at the Millrose Games today!  That's disappointing about Crouser, thought we saw a piece of history there

Jordan Diaz obtains Spanish nationality!

Duplantis closer to 6.19 than ever in Berlin. The bar waited so long to fall that they started the fireworks.

Other wins Sagnia in long jump against two home favourites by just 2cm and Jacobs in 60m. It was a pretty convincing win, he never looked in trouble. Nice to see him sprinting so well.

6.57 in the heat and 6.51 in the final for Jacobs...

 

next stop, Lodz next week...

Karalis 5.81, finally a new PB after 4 years. He attempted 5.92 which would've been an overall Greek record (the current records are 5.85 indoor and 5.91 outdoor), but couldn't clear the bar.

 

Still, good to see him healthy again the past year. I hope he can continue to stay healthy and fulfill his potential. I believe he will get both NRs in the near future.

Mondo so close 6.19 again. But not yet!

Ewa Swoboda ran today 60m in Toruń in 7,00s which is new Polish record and the best result in the world in this season

in the same race,  Zeynab Dosso equalled the Italian record (7.19), which was first established by Marisa Masullo in 1983 

 

in the same meet and distance, but in the male version, 100m and 4*100m relay Olympic champion  Marcell Jacobs easily won in 6.49 (in the heats, he went 6.51, relaxing his run well before the end)...
