I guess she is just one month behind in her training. Will peak in Munich. And centimeters at a time will do it, if your sponsor is paying for NRs!

Hassan won't compete in Munich. Unfortunately :-(

Sifan Hassan looking good in the 3000m.

 

Femke Bol 49.75 NR in the jumpless 400m.

Meanwhile Natalia Kaczmarek 49.86 PB! Only the second Polish women under 50 seconds after Irena Szewinska. This is really big and thank to Bol for pulling the trailer for such a result! :thumbup:

Where did Hassan's final sprint suddenly come from? Two weeks late, but good for her to know she can still do it!

 

NR for Bol in the 400 flat. Curious which distance she chooses at the European Championships.

 

And a very nice NR for Schilder in women's shot put: 19.81. It's only centimeters every time, but she gets better every time.

Bol and Klaver want to double up!

wow, great race of Femke Bol with a new Dutch National Record, first time under 50 seconds! She is on fire! Hope she will do great at the European Championships in Munich!

DL from Monaco on Wednesday.  In the last few years Monaco has been pretty much the best meet on the circuit, but then it was always the last big event before the major, so it might not be this time.  Plenty of big names in action though.

So far it's definitely been fantastic at least in terms of running :d

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
