So it's probably the same person, unless Amaliya is very popular name and Sharoyan very common surname in Armenia.

I wouldnt call those jumps normal. 1) Its her biggest improvement since 2013 and much bigger than her improvement from 2014 to 2015 2) Its still very early in the season, so its very likely that she will further improve this year 3) Most importantly: There is a huge difference between improving from 58.04 to 56.81 (2012 to 2013) and improving from 55.97 to 54.82 (2015 to 2016). Normally the jumps get smaller when you get older, but with her it seems to be the other way round. 4) What happened to her in 2014? 5) She turns 22 in less than a month, thats not really young for a female athlete. A one second jump wouldve been normal for a 18 or 19 yo girl maybe but not for a girl turning 22 this year. Last year she was 45th in world ranking, with her time of 54.82 she wouldve been 17th last year (less than 0.5s outside the top 10), which is also a "remarkable" improvement. You probably know what i generally think about canadian athletics/swimming and i know that you will never agree with me on this topic, so we really dont need to fight this out again and again. I wont be surprised by any canadian athlete showing huge improvements this year (i was absolutely not surprised to see such huge improvements by Oleksiak, Acevedo or Masse), so this was probably the last time that i wrote something concerning this topic. As a canadian fan you will be very happy with the results in Rio, you will win at least 10-12 medals in athletics/swimming and at least one gold medal. Her 54.82 time was in altitude...

Lets see what she will do in the rest of the season. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

phelps 6,893 Posted May 28, 2016 #249 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Women's 200m Libania Grenot, 22.56 (new NR, beating Manuela Levorato's 22.60, which stood for good 17 years) later today, in La Coruña (ESP) there will be the traditional 20km Race Walking IAAF Challenge race (women's start at 18.30 CET, men's at 18.50 CET)... most of the strongest specialists will be at the start of this race, including Alex Schwazer, looking for an Olympic qualifying time also in the 20km race, after his triumphant comeback in the 50km a few weeks ago in Rome...
