Allison Dos Santos has had a knee operation today.

Good news is that although he should be out for 8-12 weeks, he's not been ruled out of competition for the season

Tentoglou's jump is also WL 

1. This got scratched because of an illegal shoe.

 

2. He’s just jumped 8.41WL.

 

3. Forget to mention that the Hauts-de-France Meet is on today.

 

4. The Hauts-de-France meet has just started.  Looks like a good one, the first meet with both the Europeans & North Americans going against each other.

Jacobs "only" 6.64 in the heats, final comin'up in a couple of minutes.

 

good results for 2 more Italians...Claudio Stecchi finally cleared 5.82m (new indoor NR, second only to Duplantis in the event) after 2 years out of the competitions because of many injuries, meanwhile Leonardo Fabbri got 21.53m in the men's shot put in Belgrade, beating all the big guys from the former Jugoslavija.

 

and Omanyala beat Jacobs (first loss in a 60m race in 3 years) 

6.54 for the Kenian and 6.57 for the 100m Olympic champion (same time of last week in Lodz for him).

Single best thing in athletics is two guys going head-to-head for a middle distance world record!

Natalia Kaczmarek 50.90 NR in Lievin. First Polish woman under 51 secs. at 400m indoors.

He had a lot to say about this:

 

 

And then a few hours later after writing "I don't care about an 8.40 jump...I can jump it whenever the fuck I want," he jumps 8.41 

 

Also a lot of big names in the sport commented agreeing with him.
