COMPLETELY. OUT. OF. NOWHERE. 

 

Thomas Fafard (hadn’t heard of him before today) with the performance of his lifetime (by a mile) recording a HUGE new PB of 13:05.07 in the men’s 5000m at the IFAM Outdoor Brussels!!!  (Approximately an 18 second improvement on his 13:22.93)

 

Misses out on the Olympic qualifying standard by 0.07 but still an incredible result. He’s now lowered his PB by 28 (!!) seconds in the last two weeks.

6/6! 

 

Ethan Katzberg with another win at the Meeting International de Forbach, recording a best mark of 80.12m! For someone who’s been on the road for the past week, competing at four meets in different European countries, that’s a good sign for Paris. I will add that the 2nd place finisher Chaussinand was less than 1m behind though.

At the Bob Vigars Classic, highlights include Duan Asemota with a 0.10 PB, clocking 10.03 in the men’s 100m (1.9m/s wind), Ibrahim Ayorinde with a PB of 46.57 in the men’s 100m, Jacqueline Madogo and Sade McCreath 11.21 and 11.28 (although 2.0m/s wind) in the women’s 100m, and Zoe Sherar 52.01 in the women’s 400mx

 

Also we saw the return of Newman, and although she could only manage a 3rd attempt clearance at 4.30m it’s still too early to be worried about her.
