And we all know who is to blame for this young kid's expose.   That was a very fine run though.

The weather ruined the evening but now I am back to see some results...

 

SILVER medal for Filippidou in the women's discus! 

Our first medal in Cali so far, and she did it with a big SB and her second best throw of her career. Really nice to see after her season was very disappointing until now!

 

Dragomirova 15th in the heptathlon after 4 events. She had SBs in the high jump and 200m, worst result of her career in 100 hurdles, and a mediocre shot put result (she placed 2nd in it but that is her main event where she also qualified in, so I expected a bigger throw).

 

Bertsima and Lyri crashed out in the women's long jump qualifying. Not surprising at all. Lyri is only 16, so 6.01 is by no means a bad result, third best in her career actually (including indoors). Rapti obviously would've done better than these two, but she was not selected as she will also be in the triple jump.

 

Can't complain about Mitsiouli either, we knew there was no chance she'd make the 400 hurdles final, but her time of 59.97 today was the second best in her career. 

 

Emmanouilidou 11th in the 100m with 11.51 (=second best of her career). So I guess she won't break Thanou's U20NR after all (this is probably her last competition of the year with the exception of the European Championships in Munich where she will only run in the 4x100 relay). However she is also competing in the 200m here, where she already holds the U20NR and barely competed at that distance this year, so I think she has plenty of room to make a new U20NR.

 

Triantafyllou didn't get to compete as the women's pole vault final was moved to tomorrow.

Well blessing Afrifa just casually broke our NR and his giving hopes to see him shine in Paris and maybe even make History…

forget about Tebogo!

 

this is the true top story from the junior worlds!  

 

the Italian decathlon specialist Alberto Nonino ended up dead last in the decathlon's 400m run because of a hilarious wardrobe malfunction...he had to prevent many times during the race his penis hanging outside his running shorts!

 

he made the news not only in Italy, but all around the world...

Another silver for 

 

Hanna Karlsson on 400m hurdles. 

 

Congrats girl.

Can someone explain what is going on with the men's hammer throw? Korakidis threw 79.11 (WL), then it was later changed to a foul and he finished in 4th. Now on the World Athletics site, the official results say he won with 79.11?

Did he win or not? Everyone reputable here in Greece went to bed after reporting that he finished in 4th place
