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).

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
