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.

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

    • 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)
