Great result for 21 yo Anastasia Dragomirova at our National Championships for combined events :yes

 

She got a new U23 NR with 5965 points, the previous record was 5927 points from 2000. And her previous PB was 5636 from 2023. She is also now third all-time in Greece for the women's category (our NR is 6235 from 2006).

 

Dragomirova was very good as a teenager in the field events, and Tentoglou's coach wanted to take her and make her a long jumper (she has the U18NR of 6.44 from when she was 16 yo), but she insisted on being a heptathlete. Once the pandemic hit, her results really suffered. She also had some injuries and was only doing shot put for a while. She was always weak in the track events but especially 800m.

 

Today, she got a new PB in 800m of 2:30.50 (she had 2:35.19 from earlier this year), new PB in javelin throw of 50.28 (she had 50.07 from 2023), new PB in the 100m hurdles of 14.37 (she had 14.57 from earlier this year), and equaled her high jump PB of 1.78 (from 2020).

 

Her other results today were 15.15 in shot put (her PB is 15.69 from 2021), 6.05 in long jump (her PB is 6.44 from 2019), and 26.01 from 200m (she has 25.46 from 2019).

 

She still has work to do but it's nice to see her finally heading in the right direction again!

Nnot great conditions for the men's discus,also had a bit of rain but Mykolas Alekna returns to action with the most casual 69 meter[69.07] throw ever.:pit was done in round one,he also did 68.80 in round 5,this was after some rain.Denny as has become so commen this season finishes in second behind him,this time much closer than usual with 68.17,though that was the only longer throw he had,he also had two  65 plus throws.

100m in Paris:

iN94YzJ.png

 

Martina's last ever race on home soil, and given that he's highly unlikely to make the relay team for his 6th Olympics, I think this was the last time we've really seen him compete. Watched his interview afterwards and at 40, he is still as filled with positivity as 20 years ago. Man, Dutch sports is going to miss him, far and away my favourite ever Dutch athlete in any sport (and I think it's the same for many other people, he has always been such an incredibly humble and inspirational guy and I don't remember any athlete in any sport who has gone through so much with such a big smile, no matter what happens - including being disqualified for stepping on a line after winning gold in the home European championships).

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
    • and Artistic Gymnastics is "Sporting Gymnastics" while Rythmic Gymnastics is god know why "Modern Gymnastics" 
    • and a brief look to Cortina village    
    • We call it beauty skating, if we're using the literal translation. 
    • Our delegation are a bit surprised there no chairs nor tables in the rooms though  You not use tables in Italy ?   
    • In Milan we share the building with no one else than     &       In Cortina we share the place with  
    • impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites
    • New pole vault world lead and huge pb of 4.88by Hana Moll on her birthday yesterday .
    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
