Another great edition of the FBK games!

 

Good results for the  Dutch athletes: Hassan winning the 1.500m as well, Bol with another win, 200m PB for Klaver, good seasons start for Visser. Also notable PBs for young talents Boujo (100m) and Laros (1.500m).

 

18 year old Niels Laros is probably the biggest Dutch talent of his generation in athletics (or even sports). He finished 4th today and I believe he has the potential to become an international staple on the 800m and 1.500m.

Next big meet is Bydgoszcz tomorrow early evening. Probably the one meet in the year centered on the Hammer, but also good sprints.

World Mountain Running Championships from Stubai  this week. Bit of a strange event in that most of these guys are real specialists unknown to the general public, but there’s a bit of crossover to several other sports.  YT has 6 different language streams.

Martynas Alekna goes HUGE in Latvia,first going out to 65.35,before finishing off the series with 67.23,battering his less than an old week pb by over three meters.comp still needs to be confirmed to be a valid one,and that would mean a ticket for him to his first world champs,and three Lithuanian discus throwers at the event .
