But you do realize that would be within a second of Mrs. Koch?

I do, yes. She has however already run under 49 in her life and seems to be in better shape than ever.

It's funny because this is not how things work in gymnastics. If one throws huge difficulty with a high fail rate, there's no way we can call this gymnast highly talented. Yamilet Peña (DOM) and Dipa Karmakar (IND) were butchered by media and fans alike because they had big vaults but very poor execution.

But that's the difference between a sport where it's about executing things in a good way and a sport where you just gotta do it. If you have the ugliest jump ever but clear 6.05m with it, you cleared 6.05m and that's that

Yay, Polish fancynames made the final.

I'm still annoyed and disappointed IAAF doesn't have splits for that race, because I'm really curious if Swiety ran 'bad', Cherry ran great or it was just normal for both of them

So basically only 4 nations for those who think Bahrain and Bahamas are the same country.

In the last 30 years only ONE woman has gotten within one second of Marita Koch's WR - Marie Jose Perec

 

Miller-Uibo's PB wouldn't even make Koch's Top 10 list
