2:05.10 in 800 meters required for WR. Her PB indoors is 2:05.33...

2:05.70 in 800 meters so Hall missed WR by nine points...

 

5,004 is the new AR but probably there's more to come in the future

Lithuanian indoor championships start this weekend.

 

Last chance for our athletes to qualify to the European Indoor Championships.

 

Right now we have Jogailė Petrokaitė qualified for long jump. Modesta Morauskaitė and Tomas Keršulis were qualified for 400m, but seems like they're withdrawing, which is unfortunate, since Keršulis NR that he reached a week ago was actually the 5th qualifying time, so he could've done some damage in the championships.

 

Other than that, Urtė Baikšytė and Juozas Baikštys are qualifying from the rankings as well as Dovilė Kilty and Aina Grikšaitė in the triple jump.

 

Safe to assume these five are going to be representing Lithuania there, unless Palšytė surprises with a very good jump on the weekend, but I highly doubt that she's in form to jump anywhere higher than 1.90. Possibly ever again.

Cross Country in Bathurst? Were they running on the Mt. Panorama race track?

It was on Mt Panorama on the inside of the race track.

Gidey collapsing metres before the finish line after looking like she would stroll to the win not long before.
