Mika Sosna the under 20 world record holder opens his season with 59.98,5th best throw as the second month of the season begins.good for him to have a normal opener since he had no mark in his first two comps last year,then went  right out to his pb of 65.57 and simply couldn't back that up when it mattered,high 62 in a few german comps,no mark to finish the season at the german championships.Perhaps a more stable first start to the year will set the right tone this time.

Live stream for Beskydska Latka (WA Indoor Tour Silver) in Trinec, Czech Republic! 

 

This event is high jump only, but a solid field nonetheless. On the women’s side the heavy favourite is Kazakhstani national record holder Safina Sadullayeva, who has a PB of 1.97m. Much deeper field in terms of quality on the men’s side with Cuban Luis Enrique Zayas (2.33m PB), German Tobias Potye (2.34m PB), American Shelby McEwen (2.33m PB), and Pole Norbert Kobielski (2.33m PB) all expected to be in the mix.

I’ll try to search for a worldwide non geo-blocked stream, will update the post if I find one. 

 

Only men’s pole vault at this meet, but this could very much be an Olympic final, a lot of the big guns are entered.

 

Here’s the full start list: Chris Nilsen, Sam Kendricks, Pål Haugen Lillefosse, Thibault Collet, Ben Broeders, Kurtis Marschall, KC Lightfoot, and of course Armand Duplantis.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
