 Kristjan Ceh has an underwhelming performance for his standarts in a hometown meet,saving it from being a disspointing performance with a last round throw of 68.67 .....This  after  giving an interwiew in slovenia where he stated he will ''show Alekna who the boss is'' when they meet in the summer[first meeting is at the DL in early July] Maybe he will,who knows ?,Just find it funny that he was underwhelming right afterwards.

He threw well over 68m in rainy weather, so yeah, will see soon who is the boss.

World Athletics plan to reorganise Indoor Athletics as Short Track - as opposed to long track - and to harmonise these indoor short track records with outdoor city centre meets etc.

 As i said,saved himself from a dissapointing meet with that one,could of thrown a long one on the first one when it wasn't raining but didn't,managed to not release the disc on the second attempt,threw another one outside the stadium bounds,not to mention the video footage wasn't the best,personally it really did not look like a high 68 mark to me,but i guess it was,All i'm saying is pride comes before the fall,and i'm seeing A LOOOOOOOOOOT of pride with him,so Kanter might want to reign that in.

Not the worst idea - hugely increases potential hosting opportunitis - lots of places in the southern hemisphere don't need a roof, probably moving towards a standardisation of the track dimensions, more focus on the camber, the bank turns, the short straights as a separate discipline to the 'long track'. Also allows 'short track' to experiment with new events ('weight-for-height, 'indoor' hammer, kilo, 200 m 'pursuit'-style starts, 2000m steeple etc...
