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.

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!
