1st day of Vilnius athletics championships.

 

Ieva Zarankaitė threw the discus with a mark of 60.60, can't really remember the last time we had a 60+ in Lithuania from the women's side. Zinaida Sendriūtė hasn't been throwing like that for a very long time.

 

That is nearly +2 meters from her PB that she achieved just a week ago.

 

Andrius Gudžius threw the discus twice over 67 meters (67.05 and 67.08) also improving from the same competition four days ago. It is looking like a decent comeback after the season plagued with injuries.

 

He also said that he throws near 70 meters when he is training, so we can expect better results soon.

 

There were no more results worth attention, I think, perhaps something will happen on the 2nd day.

tomorrow in Rieti the first official Italian meet of the season will be on stage...

 

unfortunately, no international stars are involved because of the impossibility to travel to Italy, but a good number of the best athletes in our Country will be at the start...

 

the main stars will be for sure Filippo Tortu over the men's 100m dash together with the clown, AKA Gianmarco Tamberi (men's High Jump)...

 

among others, Davide Re (but not competing over his beloved 400m), Luminosa Bogliolo (women's 100m HS), young rising star Carolina Visca (women's Javelin Throw), Ayomide Folorunso and Maria Benedicta Chigbolu (women's 400m, despite the first being a 400m HS specialist) and the main non-Italian representative, Andrew Pozzi (GBR, but with Italian heritage) over the men's 110m HS...

 

the meet will be streamed live by the main Italian Newspaper's website, www.repubblica.it, from 5 p.m. to about 7 p.m. CET (you'll find the link directly on their website tomorrow)...

Are you sure that it was wind legal?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
