Forget Gudžius and Alekna, you saw what Kristijan Čeh did in Birmingham. 😃😉

71,27m! Wonder what he does in the Hengelo wind like Malachowski once

Woah, Modesta Justė Morauskaitė just broke the Lithuanian NR for 400m by half a second at a meet in Spain.

 

The new record is now 50.49, which was also good enough to qualify her for the World Championships.

 

It is also the second best time in the World this season and the best European time this season, placing her as a possible contender in the fight for the ECH medals.

 

Often plagued with micro injuries and such, she smashed her 2019 outdoor PB by nearly 2 seconds and more than a second off of her indoor PB that she ran this winter.

I think that happened before Tokyo last year.

Pia Skrzyszkowska 12,68 (+1,0) in 100H in Poznan.

 

That's 5th fastest in Polish history all-time and the fastest time since 1984.

Practicing my German by watching the Götzis coverage today.

 

Go Vetter & Oosterwegel

 Simon Ehammer with a huge 8.45m long jump, new Decathlon world record. I'm no field event expert, but that looked worthy of individual long jump medals, way ahead of the rest of the field.
