EDIT

I just contacted my friend at World Atletics.

This is out of date and will be replaced.

Marathon qualification definitely did reopen in September

and the most bizarre marathon in history is over. Due strict covid-19 measures in the country Only 200 runners (164 M + 24 W), mainly slovaks, completed 10 full 4.2km laps in a special track in the city main street, without cameras and only very limited amount of spectators (mainly athletes relatives) :lol:

 

Logically we had a slovak winner after 21 years, Marek Hladík in new PB 2:26:08

Race Walks
• Performances for qualifying purposes may only be achieved on a course measured by a World Athletics/AIMS Grade “A” or “B” International Road Race Course Measurer with the measurement certificate established no more than 5 years before the date of the race.
• A minimum of 3 International or Area Race Walking Judges must be on duty.
• For International Competitions defined under World Athletics Rule 1.1 (i), or at National Competitions, Member Federations concerned must submit a specific application to World Athletics (Application Form available from World Athletics) before the race is conducted. Applications submitted for the IAAF World Athletics Championships Doha 2019 do not need to be submitted again.

 

Only if these rules were obeyed

50.99 in the women’s 400 for 17 year old Beatrice Masilingi from Namibia yesterday. Maybe Miller-Uibo has a new challenger?

Hmmm, if you factor in the altitude of Nairobi it's worth 51.40 which is still good but it does mean she will have to improve at least 2.5 seconds to challenge Miller-Uibo

Another special event tomorrow evening (20:30 UK) - the NN Valencia World Record day.  Featuring Joshua Cheptegui :UGA going for the men’s 10,000m & Letesenbet Gidey :ETH going for the women’s 5,000m.  Presumably specially choreographed with pacemakers, flashing lights etc.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba?

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
