Watch out for 19-year-old triple jumper Olorunfemi Akinduro in the upcoming years. 16.26m (1.6 m/s) PB set back in August 2022.

Katzburg 77.50m in the second round of men's hammer throw at Nationals. 0.70 shy of the OQS.

Doesn't look like it, and it would be too late for Paris

78.73m PB (And I believe Canadian Record) for Ethan Katzburg in the final round of men's hammer throw! Also breaches the 78.20m QS for Paris 2024!
