Jinzha 529 Posted April 10, 2022 #73 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Big results at the Rotterdam Marathon today: TWO national records! Abdi Nageeye, 1st place in 2:04:56 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!

Monzanator 3,600 Posted April 13, 2022 #74 Share Posted April 13, 2022 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 ).

Makedonas 1,599 Posted April 17, 2022 #77 Share Posted April 17, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuizGuilherme 201 Posted April 17, 2022 #78 Share Posted April 17, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted April 18, 2022 #79 Share Posted April 18, 2022 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. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
