OK, it should be normal that young athletes improve every year in the early indoor season but it is always good to see.

 

But at some point you're at a level where improving every year is not 'normal' anymore...like when you're jumping 2.02m as an U20 woman

Oh sure, but it was only on US TV and expensive Pay Streaming.

For free in Polish TV (on the channel accessible for everybody and also on their website, unfortunately for foreigners, geoblocked for Poland only, still you can call it quite international )

Just a reminder World Indoor Tour III tomorrow from Dusseldorf, live on Eurosport.

Looks like the best meet so far.

Filip Ingebritsen gets a 3:36.32 WL in the 1500m, will hold it until his brother Jakob runs his first race of the season.

Mondo!

A phenomenal form of Duplantis, as for his first start this year! Fear to be afraid of the Swede, since he is already trying to attack the world record - 6.17.

[Agger 1,663]

And what an attempt!

He was so close on that second attempt! One more attempt to come!

Great pole vault competition. Only a matter of time until Mondo smashes the records.

Today the Swede did not succeed (great pity for this second attempt), but if he comes to Toruń, he will succeed there. Of course, this is only my wishful dream, but probably only Duplantis knows what he can do.
