Kelvin Kiptum is running an amazing race in Chicago and very much attacking Kipchoge's world record.

And doing it with the pacers dropping early.

And the only non-pacer who followed him, Mateiko, taking the lead for a grand total of....2 seconds, maybe? :d 

 

And I am assuming he's also running on those one-race megasupershoes :p

Wow, the proper sub 2 hour barrier is now thoroughly on!  :bowdown:
 

Kiptum looks like he could try again next week.

I'll invite him to the Amsterdam marathon next week, just so I can say I have run a marathon against him :bye:

Btw, Hassan won the Chicago marathon in the 2nd time ever: 2:13.38, shaving almost two minutes from Paula Radcliffe’s mark of 2:15:25 which stood untouched as the world record from 2003 and 2019.

 

Hassan is now the current European Record holder on the 1.500m, 1 mile, 3.000m, 5.000m (track and road), 10.000m, half marathon, and the marathon. :yikes:

Good news for :IRL is that Sonia O’Sullivan is holding back the clean sweep with the prestigious 2000m!  :lol:

Hassan: European record, second all-time. 
 

Her range is incredible: from 1:56 over 800 meters to 2 hours 13 minutes in the marathon.

Yeah, insane range. However, Hassan isn't one of the finalists for European athlete of the year. The finalists are:

 

  • Women: :NED Bol, :UKR Mahuchikh, :ESP Perez
  • Men: :SWE Duplantis, :NOR Ingebritsen, :GRE Tentoglou
  • Women's Rising Star: :IRL Adeleke, :LAT Caune, :SRB Topic
  • Men's Rising Star: :ITA Furlani, :NOR Ingvaldsen, :NED Laros

 

Previous winners:

 

Year Women Men Women Rising Star Men Rising Star
2022 :NED Bol :NOR Ingebritsen &
:SWE Duplantis
:GRE Tzengko :LTU Alekna
2021 :NED Hassan :NOR Warholm :NED Bol :FRA Zhoya
2020 not awarded
2019 :RUS Lasitskene :NOR Warholm :UKR Mahuchikh :GER Kaul
2018 :GBR Asher-Smith :FRA Mayer :BLR Herman :NOR Ingebritsen &
:SWE Duplantis
2017 :GRE Stefanidi :GER Vetter :UKR Levchenko :NOR Warholm
2016 :ESP Beitia :GBR Farah :BEL Thiam :GER Heß
2015 :NED Schippers :GBR Rutherford :SUI Zbären :POL Bukowiecki
2014 :NED Schippers :FRA Lavillenie :RUS Kuchina :GBR Gemili
2013 :CZE Hejnová :UKR Bondarenko :ISL Hinriksdóttir :SRB Bekrić

The fact that Thiam has never become European athlete of the year is quite surprising to me.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
