I guess at that age athletes do not have the experience to peak twice in a season & of course their NCAA coach is not going to act in anybody else’s interest.

I also think that some discus results are fishy. If you got perfect conditions (wind) you can throw 2-3 m farther than you normally could. Not sure if that was the case with him.

 Kingley starts triple jump final with whooping jump of 1.04 m according to the buggy results system 

Is it possible to hop, skip and jump within that distance? 😎

yes, sir! I can hop, step and jump on the same exact tile! 

 

actually, I just can't go further than that single tile

4 finals for us in the last session. Women's javelin, women's high jump, women's 200, and men's 200. Hopefully we can win at least 2 medals because so far we only have one bronze, which would be one of our worst Championships ever (only 2015 was worse - we won no medals).

1-2 in the women's 1500m . Maybe in the reverse order that paper suggested but O'Sullivan is a fast finisher so not surprising that she got the better of Healy in the sprint finish.

Great finish to the decathlon!  Rooth taking the win over  Skotheim and  Roosen sprinting to the finish to take bronze over  Meyer.

 

 

Another good day for the Dutch, with medals for Van Daalen, Bouju (0,01s away from gold!) and Roosen.

We won 4 medals in 2021 so it's disappointing that we only have 1 so far, however I think Tzengko and Emmanouilidou have really good chances to add to our medal tally tomorrow, and also Dosi in the women's high jump should have a decent chance!

Well, they all won medals! Tzengko got gold, Dosi silver (with a new PB), and Emmanouilidou bronze 

 

Also Kariofyllis an impressive 5th in the men's 200m 

 

So we ended with 4 medals, same as 2021 except this time we got 1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze. Last time, we had 0 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze.

 

Also this time all 4 medals came from women, last time we had 3 from men and 1 from a woman.

 

I would've liked for Emmanouilidou to get a better time, but I guess the conditions did not allow it.

 

It's great to see Dosi finally on the way up again after her progress stopped for several years. Hopefully she can keep this up.

So, Dosi who got silver still gets to hear her national anthem played at the medal ceremony
