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

 

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.

And now she got 22.94 in 200m, which is a new U23 NR (the previous one was a tie between her and Maria Belibasaki, who both had 23.18!) :yes

 

Of course her improvement each year in 200m has also been very impressive:

2019-24.64

2020-24.25

2021-23.77

2022-23.20

2023-22.94

Kristjan Čeh threw 71,86 m in discus today in Estonia (Heino Lipp Memorial), which is the furthest anyone has thrown in the last 15 years! It's apparently the 4th longest throw ever made!

Tons of meets all over Europe this weekend, with several nations having U20 & U23 selections.  This one from :AUT (the flat bit) looks good for a midsummer Saturday night.

Together with Ståhl yes. Ståhl’s PB and NR is also 71,86. It’s from

2019.

I've talked about 18-yo talent Niels Laros before. He's having an absolutely stellar season once again in 800m, 1500m and 5000m!

 

Yesterday he equaled the 1500m Dutch senior NR of 3:32.89. He equaled a 22 year old national record at 18 years old:yikes:

Indian interstate meet ...... Sreeshanker has a massive leap of 8.41 in long jump which takes him to position 2 on world leading times this season .... position 1 is also held by an Indian Jeswin Aldrin with 8.42 ...A rare sight to see in world athletics 2 positions held by Indians 

 

The Neeraj Chopra effect on Indian atheletics has been great he has ....we have great world season positions  right now in 3 events .... Triple 4th with Praveen chitravel , Long jump 1 and 2 , and in javelin 2 ( Neeraj)  and 9 ( manu) ...

    • Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony. 
    • That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.  
    • Today : Jordan 3-0 Egypt  This team will surprise us                 
    • option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)
    • Are we supposed to take Daly's word for it or is this just public posturing to try and shame the Milan organizers (which they certainly deserve for all the delays) in order to threaten NHL participation?
    • Well that was a disappointing opening ceremony. Not to mention the boss is late too...   Anyway this is another victim of bureaucracy, the initial creative director quit in October and we get this kind of show.   Original plan: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17EVayTpig/
    • Japan missed their last shot with hammer in the 10th last night against the Philippines for them to stay alive.  USA's remaining 2 games are against Philippines and Netherlands, so they have a tough road ahead, although they've already beaten Japan, so that helps for tiebreaker purposes.
