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

 

 :POL 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.

 

:ITA Tamberi has brought back the half beard!

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.

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

 

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 :yes

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. :rolleyes:

No way, the second ranked in that event is :CZE 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...:dunno:

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
