Josh 7,022 Posted March 17 #281 Share Posted March 17 Fireworks at The Ten in the women’s 10000m, with Tsigie Gebreselama clocking a 29:48.34! So fast that it’s the 9th fastest time in history! Biathlonfan and dullard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swewi 306 Posted March 17 #282 Share Posted March 17 Andreas Almgrens choice to leave 1500 and 5000m was apparantly the right choice. From mediocre middle distance runner to be just seconds away from the European record in both half marathon and 10 000m Biathlonfan, dullard and Belle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makedonas 1,749 Posted March 19 #284 Share Posted March 19 Looks like we won't be competing at the World Relays, which means we won't try to send our women's 4 x 100 to the Olympics. I thought they had a real chance to sneak a quota, they are 21st, only less than half a second off the top 16, and with such a young team that has already improved a lot individually since last year, it is pretty crazy to not even try. Emmanouilidou improved her 100m PB from 11.44 in 2022 to 11.21 in 2023, and already in 2024 improved her 60m PB from 7.26 in 2023 to 7.24. Tsoukala improved her 100m PB from 11.83 in 2022 to 11.44 in 2023, and already in 2024 improved her 60m PB from 7.52 in 2023 to 7.39. Anastasiou improved her 100m PB from 11.54 in 2022 to 11.41 in 2023, and already in 2024 improved her 60m PB from 7.41 in 2022 to 7.37. Based on their performances this year in 60m, I would say it's pretty safe to say they are in good shape, not to mention the 4th member of the team would either be Spanoudaki or Pesiridou, both girls are older and with previous Olympic experience. I guess we'll have to wait until 2028 to see these girls, hopefully some of them can at least make it in individual events (Emmanouilidou really should for example).

Olympian1010 7,579 Posted March 21 #290 Share Posted March 21 It would certainly be interesting if there were back-to-back multi-finisher years given the reputation of the race. 2012/2013 is the only time it’s happened before (with three and two finishers respectively). When are you and @brunamoura giving this a go @heywoodu? Jinzha 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
