So...Pan Am Games anyone?

That seems unlikely for someone with more connection to and chances in another country :p

Oof, forgot to update.

 

So, in the Lithuanian Championships, Diana Zagainova jumped a PB of 13.97 in the triple jump, qualified to the European Indoor Championships and solidified herself as the 2nd best triple jumper in Lithuanian history right after Dovilė Dzindzaletaitė. Interestingly enough, Diana (just like Dovilė when she was her age) will go to the U23 as one of the favourites, so we might have a nice triple jumping tradition starting.

 

Lastly, 18y.o. Akvilė Andriukaitytė ran 60m. in 7.40 at COSMA cup today and qualified to the European Indoor Championships as well. She is the final one to reach the standard as this was the final qualification competition.

 

Heading into the championships, our team now consists of:

Simas Bertašius - 1500m.

Adrijus Glebauskas - High Jump

Akvilė Andriukaitytė - 60m.

Agnė Šerkšnienė - 400m.

Eglė Balčiūnaitė - 800m.

Airinė Palšytė - High Jump

Dovilė Dzindzaletaitė - Triple Jump

Diana Zagainova - Triple Jump

 

Modesta Morauskaitė and Natalija Piliušina qualified, but not starting.

 

It's going to be a fun event for us to follow as we have three fairly legit medal chances in these championships, I'm excited.

And Natalija Piliušina is entering the European Championships in 1500m. discipline, so we're up to 9 athletes for Glasgow. Too lazy to check, but I think this might be a record for Lithuania in indoor competitions.

  • 3 weeks later...

Holloway 7.35 ... :yikes:

After his rather disappointing 3rd place yesterday in the long jump (7.95 meh) he's also going to destroy the field in the 60 flat later on (watch out for Sani Brown too)

Too bad it's on ESPN 3 :(

a must-have for global viewers who love the NCAA sports system...

 

https://www.espnplayer.com/packages :evil:

 

all of their events are live and also on-demand (for 30 days)...

picture quality is very good (like all the other US Sports OTT portals) and you have a fully functional 7-day trial to make yourself a good idea if you like it or not...;)

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
