I forgot to share some cool and not that cool news from Lithuanian athletics:

 

Liveta Jasiūnaitė broke her PB in Javelin Throw, with a throw of 61.73, edging closer to the Lithuanian NR and beating the World Championships entry standard in her first competition

Edis Matusevičius started the season with his 2nd best Javelin Throw of 82.73, very close to that WCH standard.

Andrius Gudžius missing the competition due to an operation and is out for two months

Zinaida Sendriūtė came back to the sport after having her child and a 2 year break, she's not throwing far yet, but in time she might get back to her 60+ form.

Quite interesting article about the, quote-on quote, IAAF vs. C. Semenya case. (It's a bit long)

I don't know what's better, the dive or the fact the runner's name was Infinite Tucker.

Neymar would be proud of him

So would Shanae Miller-Uibo
