Olympic 100m champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs DSQ for false start:p. It happens to the best of them. 

according to the Italian press, it wasn't a false start at all...and even the audience present at the hall did blow a lot of whistles against the judges...:mumble:

 

by the way, in the same meet in Belgrade, Nick Ponzio won the men's Shot Put with the new Italian record of 21.61m and Zeynab Dosso won the women's 60m in 7.21 secs...

 

so, some good results for Italy, too...:p

 

but the star of the night was of course :SWE Armand "Mondo" Duplantis, who won the men's Pole Vault with the new Indoor World Record of 6.19m...:yikes: :bowdown:

Usually in these commercial meets the judges find an equipment fault when the superstar’s lane number comes up.

17 years old Nick Griggs just ran a 3:56 mile indoors :yikes:

 

It's a Euro U20 record. He also won European U20 gold last year over 3000m at the age of 16. Crazy to think we could finally have another potential track star from Ireland after so many years.

Singapore bidding to host the 2025 World Athletics Championships 

 

Sport Singapore has officially announced the country’s bid to stage the World Athletics Championships in 2025.

 

The national sports agency has confirmed that Singapore is aiming to become the first Southeast Asian country to host World Athletics’ flagship event.

 

The 2025 edition will also mark Singapore’s 60th year of independence with Sport Singapore claiming it "would be a fitting addition to the nation’s celebrations".

 

Sport Singapore has revealed that it will partner with Singapore-based Malaysian billionaire businessman Ong Beng Seng to help turn its bid into reality.

So yeah... Mykolas Alekna threw the discus at 66.70m. He smashed the Lithuanian U20 and U23 records, as well as qualifying for the European and World Championships.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:

    • Mykolas and Rūta are athletes of the year,no surprises there.
    • what the heck ? how are some rowers who placed 5th at worlds more of a breakthrough of the year then Tajus Juška ? ,especially after the season that he had ? i need to know who actually voted for them,this is utterly stupid.
