Muzala Samukonga  43.92 men’s 400m at the Gabarone Continental Tour. He’s now #17 all-time. 

[FireRun 192]

Some really good results today. It's a shame they had some technical difficulties during broadcasting. Our guys just decided to end the whole broadcast all together after the mens 800m final.

 Mykolas Alekna sets a new PB in discus at 71.00m mark! That's also a new WU23R, 18th best PB of all-time and second best in Lithuanian history!

Same here, I think that wasn't on your or our guys...they just didn't receive the video feed anymore  

 

It's a shame, but yeah it was a really good quality meet! Omanyana, Tebogo x2, Samukonga...nice.

Other than those already qualified via 2022 worlds is qualification of relay teams for 2023 worlds based exclusively on the 2023 rankings?

8 from 2022 & Top 8 in the World Ranking.
 

And then after that heading to Paris.

I mean 2023 Worlds in Budapest. Is there a single ranking of relay teams during the qualification period or do you have to compile one yourself based on the 2022 and 2023 top lists?

 

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't realise relays are in the road to Budapest rankings.
