Philippines are lucky Rodion Gataullin wasn't born some 20 years later but maybe he still wouldn't compete for Uzbekistan?

Issam Asinga  9.83 100m (2.6w/s) at the Star Athletics Sprint Series

[Makedonas 2,170]

 Polyniki Emmanouilidou (19 yo) ran 100m in 11.21 today 

 

Fastest 100m by a Greek woman since 2005! Her improvement each year has been very impressive (11.94 in 2019, 11.71 in 2020, 11.55 in 2021, 11.44 in 2022, now 11.21 in 2023 and it's only June). I think as long as she stays injury-free we will see her in Paris, and I think we also have a good chance to make it in the 4x100 relay.

Gabija Galvydytė with 2:00.47 in the 800m and Beatričė Juškevičiūtė with 6117 in Heptathlon, really increased their chances to qualify to the World Championships.

 

They need a similar result at the Lithuanian championships though, for those sweet sweet rating points. 

[Makedonas 2,170]

Also 76.33m in the hammer throw for  Konstantinos Zaltos to finish second at the NCAA Championships. He is number 3 on the Greek men's toplist for 2023 so far, which means we can have three male hammer throwers hopefully qualify for Paris 2024

Quite unusual and crazy day in Slovak Athletics history happened today.

 

2 new NR in one event within 5 hours

 

First at 13:00 Stanislava Škvarková beat her own NR in 100H in Trnava with clocking 12.89 and was already preparing for the European Games (Our federation criteria for the EG are easy: in each event the athlete with the best result achieved until this midnight will compete)

 

and then 5 hours later in Hungarian Nyiregyhaza Viktória Forster set a new NR in this event 12.88 to grab up back the quota for herself

 

13:00

 

 

around 18:00

Wind affects sprints and sprint hurdle records.

Julien Alfred (Texas) wins 100m in 10.72 and 200m in 21.73, both CRs if not for high wind.

 

Rhasidat Adeleke (Texas) surprises 400m trio from Arkansas.
