World Athletics is working on some new events.

 

 

I’m guessing the Mixed 4x100m is to persuade Thomasbachgoldmedal1976 to cough up another Olympic Gold. What’s the reason with the new weights? Unless you are going to have lightweight categories or using them in multievents or….

 Jaydon Hibbert proving why he’s the favourite for Olympic gold in men’s triple jump, with a new WL of 17.75m at the Racers Grand Prix!

 

Also, at the Trofeo de Atletismo Ciudad de Salamanca,  Shanier Regino comes out of nowhere to produce a massive PB & NR & WL of 9.90 in the men’s 100m, ahead of his compatriot  Reynaldo Espinosa in 9.96

 Lyles' top end speed was so much better but couldn't make up the deficit from the start.

the Cubans had a wind reading of +1.2 m/s, but I guess it was just 12 m/s  

 

Hibbert might be the favourite, but he won't win in Paris
