Some interesting results at the Filothei Women Gala in Athens last night:

 

W 100m:

18 yo :GRE Polyniki Emmanouilidou with a new PB of 11.44. She is very close to breaking Thanou's U20 NR of 11.43, and with many races left in the season, I think she'll do it. She already had 11.51 from last month and keeps improving, her best result from 2021 was 11.55, 11.71 from 2020, 11.94 from 2019, so she keeps improving every year. Also I really like our chances to qualify for Paris in the women's 4x100 with Emmanouilidou, Spanoudaki, and Anastasiou (plus we need to find one more to complete the team).

 

 

W High Jump:

:MNE Marija Vukovic won with 1.95. The world junior champion from 2010 is finally living up to her potential these last couple seasons. She's been living in Greece for a few years and working with a Greek coach (Ioanna Siomou) and her results have been so good compared to how mediocre she was for many years. Great to see her consistently clearing 1.95/1.96 these days, we love her in Greece like she's one of our own.

 

16 yo :SRB Angelina Topic (Dragutin's daughter) with a new PB of 1.95! Her previous outdoor PB was 1.88 from last year. She clearly likes Greece because her indoor PB is 1.91 this winter in Athens as well. 

 

23 yo :GRE Eleftheria Christogeorgou with a big PB of 1.93. Her previous outdoor PB was 1.81 from last year, although she had 1.87 this year indoors. She out of nowhere has seen big improvements the last couple years as she started working with Pomaski (coach of Tentoglou and Papachristou). Before 2021, her PB of 1.75 stood from 2015! Her brother is a goalkeeper for the Greek U21 football national team.

 

22 yo :GRE Despina Maltabe with a PB of 1.87. She won bronze at the European U18s in Tbilisi in 2016 and did nothing since, but good to see her finally making improvements and getting new PBs after 1.83 last year and 1.84 last month.

 

W Pole Vault:

:GRE Katerina Stefanidi won with 4.64. Far from her best but good for this year considering her SB is 4.65 and WL is only 4.73...

 

17 yo :GRE Alina-Amalia Florou-Dimitriadou with a new PB of 4.09 (she had 4.05 from April). Another one who is improving year after year. Her PB was 3.90 in 2021, 3.50 in 2020, 3.40i in 2019, 3.05 in 2018.

Does sb have more information about this one?

https://www.european-athletics.com/news/european-athletics-team-championships-format-changes-for-2023

 

I can not imagine how it will work. Will be there same rules? 16 points for winner of each competition and 1 point for 16th team? So i will pay more attention in order not to be DSQ :-)

And what about technics? Still 3 attemps + 4th for best 4 teams? 4 errrors in HJ and PV? Thanks

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
