Diana Zagainova jumped a 14.02 and won a silver medal at the Universiade in the Triple Jump.

 

She is the third Lithuanian to jump over 14m this season, with Grikšaitė and Kilty at 14.05 and 14.02  

 

 

At the Baltic cup, Lithuania sent a rather weak team, but Aušraitė and Bubinaitė ran qualifying marks for the 2024 u18 championships in 400m and 800m.

As well as the DL restarting, lots of smaller meets to be crammed into the next couple of weeks. First up - a big Throws meet in Thum,  formerly .  Lots of medallists in action, plus Germans - no overlaps on that Venn Diagram.
