Some good PB's by young Dutch athletes recently:

 

Britt Weerman 1m96 in high jump (national indoor record)

Pauline Hondema 6m57 in long jump

N'Ketia Seedo 7.21 in 60m

Sofie Dokter 4606 in pentathlon

 

Not to mention Femke Bol's 500m indoor PB, a result so good she might never break it again!

No Mariya Lasitskene. Interesting. Perhaps because her biggest competition are Ukranian girls and they don't want that conflict there.

Well, things are getting complicated now, because these athletes have completed anti-doping elegibility only - but not any other kind.

I think this is only the beginning...the list is going to be enlarged quite soon.

Lasitskene is already in the ANA list, as noted in the press release. None of them can compete internationally still because of the war.
