:GRE Antigoni Drisbioti qualifies for Paris 2024! New NR in the women's 20km walk of 1:28:12! The previous NR of 1:28:58 was from 2004!

 

Drisbioti's previous PB was 1:29:03 from 2022, and the Olympic standard was 1:29:20.

 

Really incredible for her to be doing this at her age, she will be 39 next month! And she'll be 40 in Paris!

Less than one week later, another NR for her, this time in the 3000m indoor race walk at the National Championships. With 12:18.26, she broke her own NR from 2021 (12:21.43) and is also WL in this event.

Another NR, this time it's in a much more important event, Emmanouil Karalis 5.86 in the men's pole vault! His PB was 5.83 from a few weeks ago and the NR was 5.85 from 2017 (Konstantinos Filippidis).

 

The outdoor NR is 5.91 from 2015 (also Filippidis), so now he is trying to pass that too. So far he missed his first attempt at 5.92.

Gidey collapsing metres before the finish line after looking like she would stroll to the win not long before.

 

 

She did get up & crossed the line in fourth, but was DQed because a coach had helped her.

That is just wow :bowdown:

 

In other hand, from the minnows corner, we officially know also the :SVK mini-mini-mini team representatives at the European Indoor Champs.

 

So without further ado here are our heroes for Istanbul : :cheer:

 

Ján Volko (M 60m) & Viktória Forster (W 60m & W 60m Hurdles)

Over to you @heywoodu

Oh come on, I'm watching all the indoor tour meets and she does it in national championships, which I wasn't really going to watch because I forgot, in Apeldoorn of all places? :lol: 

 

But holy smokes, what a time. How many of those 80's women's records are left to be taken out now? :p

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
