Vashti Cunningham with a best mark of 1.91m in W HJ at US T&F Trials... Disappointing result for her, but as she's one of the highest-ranked high jumpers in the world (Having reached the QS multiple times this season too), US Athletics will probably give her the nod for Budapest 2023.

@Grassmarket Do you have a link to the live results for the German Championships? Found a page, but only shows the results during the meet.

a couple of curious facts about the US Trials

 

in the women's Javelin, only Ariana Ince is qualified to World Champs so far, despite being only 6th in the Trials event

 

the top 5 girls, in fact, don't have the required measure yet (they still have time to reach for that until the last day according to the WA deadline)

 

also in the women and men's 10k races the qualified athletes are not exactly the top 3 of the actual Trials race (it's 1, 2 and 5 among the women; 1, 2 and 4 among the men)

 

same for Decathlon (1st, 2nd and 4th have the ticket at the moment...actually, in this case I'd say it's definitive, since you just can't do another top class decathlon in such a short time)

 

in women's Eptathlon only Anna Hall is qualified to the World Champs, same with Vashti Cunningham in the women's HJ and Donald Scott in the men's TJ :yikes:

 

never seen such lack of depth in US Athletics...

 

meanwhile, also the 100m specialists have been decided:

 

women's 100m

 

1. Sha'Carri Richardson 10.82 (10.71 in earlier rounds)

2.Brittany Brown 10.90 (PB)

3.Tamari Davis 10.99

(4.Tamara Clark 11.03)

 

men's 100m

 

1.Cravont Charleston 9.95

2.Christian Coleman 9.96

3.Noah Lyles 10.00

(4.Brandon Carnes 10.10 not yet qualifiefied to the World Champs, the next best within the qualification standard is Trayvon Bromell, 6th in 10.14)

 

p.s. in this race also Fred Kerley is entitled to participate as the current World champion, despite missing the Trials' competition in this race (he's running the 200m)

Has Kerley decided on doing both 100m and 200m at the worlds?

It's weird how much the high jump scene declined in both the men's and the women's field. 

 

Most of the athletes are now struggling at 1.90 and 2.25 lately.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
