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:

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).

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.
