ES has the Paris Marathon on Sunday morning, starting very early because Paris is noted for its extreme, energy-sapping heat in early April.

Big results at the Rotterdam Marathon today: TWO national records!

 

:NED Abdi Nageeye, 1st place in 2:04:56

 

:NED Nienke Brinkman, 2nd place in 2:22:51 in her 2nd professional marathon

 

Brinkman is a special story. She was a field hockey player just below the national professional level, so she choose to go for a career outside of sports. As a researcher in Switzerland she started running mountainous trail runs. She ran so fast that she decided to train for a marathon, and just debuted straight into the international elite at 28 years old. And now she holds the national record!

:USA Valarie Allman 71,46m in San Diego. That's better than Perkovic's PB by 5 cm and the longest throw in women's discus since 1992 (when you consider that was from a Chinese during the tortoise soup heyday the longest before that was Wyludda throwing 72-74 meters in 1989 :rolleyes: ).

Elaine Thompson-Herah marked her season’s outdoor debut by setting the fastest 100 metres time of the year, 10.89sec, at a USA Track & Field Golden Games in Walnut, California that delivered on its promise of being a sprinting spectacular.

London 2012 bronze medalist in rowing Christina Giazitzidou won the Greek National Championships today in Mountain Road Race (sorry I don't know the proper term in English but it's 20.5km). She retired from rowing at age 22 but now I guess she is a runner.

2 great results for brazilian athletes this weekend:

 

Alison dos Santos ran the 400m (no hudles this time) and had a great run. With his time he would be 6th in Tokyo. He stills just 21 and has already a bronze at the Olympics.

 

Daniel ran the Seoul marathon and made the best time ever of a non african in the history of the marathons.

 

:wBRA:

Tuning in for the Boston marathon for the first time.

 

I already knew the times do not count here due to the course, but boy, I never realized this means Boston has no pacemakers. That's just awesome. :d

  • 2 weeks later...

Mykolas Alekna continues to surprise as he beats his PB by nearly another meter.

 

His new PB is now 67.68m and it was the Lithuanian U23 record, NCAA record, World's all time best throw by a 19yo

 

Four throws were over 67 metres, it's the second best throw in the world this season, and it's the 5th best U23 of all time, with Mykolas only being 19.

    • 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.
