And one more for today, the biggest race walking meet of the year at La Coruna.

Yet another FTA event, I’m guessing a WR attempt from Sifan Hassan.

I don't think she had any intentions of running a WR only 6 weeks after winning the London marathon. The 10k was moved to Saturday to give Hassan the opportunity to compete in both the 10k and the 1.500m in front of her home crowd.

 

She ran 29:37.83, which is the WL time by 22 seconds, but of course not even close to the WR.

I did like the robot camera on the back straight!

Interesting. Some of the flags are for wrong athletes though.

 Mattia Furlani (born 2005), after the windy 8.44 in Savona last week; Today just won the men's Long Jump in Hengelo with 8.24m (new "regular" PB, -0.7 wind read, if I've seen well).
