Merle Homeier  won long jump in Indoor Meeting Dortmund 2022 with a jump long 6,47m. For comparison, the WL at the moment is 6,85 by Ivana "Španović" Vuleta. Big favorite Khaddi Sagnia has a poor competition jumping only 6,03m, with 5 failed jumps and finished way down in 8th place. 

 

Joris van Gool  won the 60m with 6,60s.

 

Gina Lückenkemper  finally won something again with her 7,22s win in 60m. 

 

Justyna Święty-Ersetic  won 400m with a meeting record (MR) of 52,10s, which is exactly one second off the current WL.

 

KC Lightfoot  continued with another MR 5,95m (which he broke twice) in pole vault.

 

To top it all off Lily Kaden  won 200m with yet another MR 23,47

I don't think that is true. Bol ran 50.72 s today.

I guess they haven't updated their ranking yet. You can see the WL time at the top, set by Anna Kielbasinska.

Apparently GB are close to closing down the relay programmes as a result of the stripped medal.

Adam Kszczot takes his farewell to Polish fans.  Will race in Madrid & then I guess to the Comms mike or whatever.

 

Big win for Ewa Swoboda over Elaine Thompson-Herah, so she’ll be looking forward to Belgrade.

Another WL for Bol with 50.64 on the 400m, beating Kaczmarek, Swiety-Ersetic and Klaver.

 

Edit: apparently it's only 0.01 off Bols PB and national record. Should be a good chance that she beats those at the indoor worlds!

Ewa Swoboda will win a medal if she keeps performing like that.
