Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Gold Medalist Markus Rehm :GER with an incredible 8.72m to break his own WR in men's long jump T64 (Previously 8.62m, which was set at the European Para Athletic Championships in June 2021)


That mark would've won gold at the last 15 Olympic Games. :yikes: Definitely one to watch on the road to Paris 2024.

He's a great athlete, but his blade gives him an advantage over able-bodied athletes, so the comparisons are not really fair.

Myrte van der Schoot broke the NU20R 400m that Femke Bol set in 2019 (52.98) last weekend, with a 52.88 at the junior national championships. Second place Britt de Blaauw also ran the 3rd place time of the all-time U20 leaderboard (53.27).

 

Loving the competition in our 4x400m teams, everyone is really making each other stronger right now!

If he was jumping off his real leg, we could have the discussion. Hugely impressive though i is on a personal level, he jumps off a spring; it's basically a pogo stick record. I've seen him jump, his distance does not correlate with his approach speed, and the difference is that blade.

 

FWIW, even if its not 'advantage', it still shouldn't be allowed because it is simply not like with like

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
