:GRE Antigoni Drisbioti qualifies for Paris 2024! New NR in the women's 20km walk of 1:28:12! The previous NR of 1:28:58 was from 2004!

 

Drisbioti's previous PB was 1:29:03 from 2022, and the Olympic standard was 1:29:20.

 

Really incredible for her to be doing this at her age, she will be 39 next month! And she'll be 40 in Paris!

Less than one week later, another NR for her, this time in the 3000m indoor race walk at the National Championships. With 12:18.26, she broke her own NR from 2021 (12:21.43) and is also WL in this event.

Another NR, this time it's in a much more important event, Emmanouil Karalis 5.86 in the men's pole vault! His PB was 5.83 from a few weeks ago and the NR was 5.85 from 2017 (Konstantinos Filippidis).

 

The outdoor NR is 5.91 from 2015 (also Filippidis), so now he is trying to pass that too. So far he missed his first attempt at 5.92.

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

 

 

She did get up & crossed the line in fourth, but was DQed because a coach had helped her.

That is just wow :bowdown:

 

In other hand, from the minnows corner, we officially know also the :SVK mini-mini-mini team representatives at the European Indoor Champs.

 

So without further ado here are our heroes for Istanbul : :cheer:

Over to you @heywoodu

Oh come on, I'm watching all the indoor tour meets and she does it in national championships, which I wasn't really going to watch because I forgot, in Apeldoorn of all places? :lol: 

 

But holy smokes, what a time. How many of those 80's women's records are left to be taken out now? :p

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
