Adas Dambrauskas - 60m - 6.82 - U17 record

Danielius Vasiliauskas - 60m - 6.99 - U16 record

Lukas Sutkus - 400m - 49.29 - U18 record

Nikodemas Laurynas - Pole Vault - 4.75 - U18 record, U18 & U19 indoor records

 

Also, Lithuanians won all four sprints, might be a rebirth of Lithuanian sprinters, which has been very much missed since Sakalauskas, Grinčikaitė and Tamošaitytė era.

 

The second day is on Saturday with 200m, 800m, 3000m, high jump, triple jump and a mixed 400m relay.

It's funny because Kobe was a long time teammate with Sasha "the machine" Vujačić. He even learned some slovenian words because of him.

Will Piotr Lisek not be nominated? According to the Road to Belgrade tracker on WA, he achieved the entry standard last year. Of course I don't know if there is an additional requirement from the Polish athletics federation for him to have jumped at least 5.81m in the 2022-season?

He said today, after winning gold medal in national champioships, jumping 5.61, that he doesn't want go to Belgrade just for being a "tourist" as he feel that he doesn't have form yet, with hope that in summer everything will be back to normal.
