First time in Europe I think. 18 years old, did the race in Nairobi a few weeks ago.

I'm pretty sure he was talking of the Algerian Slimane Moula...

 

our friend is not really interested in other Nations' people...

Two accessible meets today.  Gold Tour event in Chorzow in the afternoon, on the World Athletics YouTube channel & the Diamond League from Rabat in the evening.

Good thing tomorrow is a free day (with the FBK Games in Hengelo as well)

Ah, proper British-style race walking on the track in Chorzow!    And a Mile distance!

Tomas Walsh 22,31, Joe Kovacs 22,00 in shot put.

 

Milica Gardasevic wins long jump with 6,81 PB.

 

Camacho-Quinn 12,43 into 1,4m head wind.

Sydney McLaughlin ran a 51.90 400mH, 3rd all-time time. But apparently two hurdles were not in the right place so it might not be ratified (homologated??)

Karsten Warholm pulls up injured.  Has been lucky with his health all career, but it looks like it’s a problem niw. Lets hope it’s just an excess of caution.

Why doesn’t Rojas participate in Diamond League? I haven’t seen her since World Indoor Championships.

Cold & rainy in Hengelo, so probably not many fast times.  Or in the sprints, long distance runners are hard.
