And my personal favorite straight after:

Monday -  Fanny Blankers-Koen Games, Hengelo

[Grassmarket 3,450]

 100m runner Reece Prescod who has been in no-mans land for a few years hammers a huge 9.93 PB on Ostrava.

 

  Kaczmarek 50.16 PB in the 400m, always a big fight to be Polish No.1

 

Femke Bol huge new WR (sort of)36.86 in the 300m hurdles.

 

 Tamberi has brought back the half beard!

[Monzanator 4,526]

That's the 2nd fastest time in Polish 400m history. Only Szewinska's old WR (49,29) is better.

 

 

[Monzanator 4,526]

Pia Skrzyszkowska 12,65 in 100m Hurdles which ties the 4th fastest in Poland ever (Danuta Perka from 1979 Universiade). The best two results are somewhat out of reach but the third one isn't (Rabsztyn 12,36, Langer-Kalek 12,43 and Bielczyk 12,63).

[Jinzha 702]

50.90 PB for Lieke Klaver in the 400m, even if that was only 4th place in the race. Doesn't change her place in the Dutch all-time list, as Lisanne de Witte (50.77) and Femke Bol (50.37) have both ran faster.

[Makedonas 2,165]

65.40 for  19 yo Elina Tzengko in the women's javelin in Ostrava 

 

Her progress kind of stalled since her 63.96 in 2020 as a 17 yo, but this is a big new PB and 2nd in the world this year

Think that was a junior comp with a light javelin.

He made the public eye last year when he got away with a clear false start at the Olympics.

No way, the second ranked in that event is  Ogrodnikova, who's certainly not a junior anymore...and she was 2+ meters behind the Greek girl...

 

we'll see in the next competitions if it was a lucky throw by Tzengko or not...
