it was not over...then, he improved to 8.34, which is a new U-20 indoor world record (only 1 cm shy of the outdoor u-20 world record, held by a Russian guy) and equalled the 2024 world leading mark set by :JAM Chris Pinnock

 

I think you mean Wayne* Pinnock :p

Women's PV from the :GBR championships.

 

Molly Caudery jumps 4.85m to regain her place at the top of the world rankings.

 

Although since the US Championships is going on as we speak,it may not last more than a few hours in that position.

Not sure if it will be available outside the United States, but CBS aired a piece on Kelvin Kiptum after his recent death. They were going to release it ahead of his next race in April :( (The round table discussion at the end is “meh,” but the piece itself is nice)

Femke Bol just improved her indoor 400m record by another 0,02 seconds at the National Championships! 49,24:hyper::hyper:

 

 

Meanwhile Lieke Klaver improved her indoor PB to 50,10 and 16 years old Madelief van Leur ran a NR U18 with 53,96 in the heats yesterday (improving the NR of Bol herself!).

despite the hype, nothing special happened in day #2 of the Italian Indoor Nationals

 

the very much expected battle between Leonardo Fabbri and Zane Weir in the men's Shot Put was won by Weir with 21m69cm

Fabbri was 2nd with a very disappointing mark of 21m07cm

 

Andy Diaz won the men's Triple Jump with 17m60cm ahead of Emanuel Ihemeje with 17m03cm (he only made the 1st jump...hope he isn't injured)

 

Chituru Ali won the men's 60m dash in 6.57

 

Zeynab Dosso confirmed herself as the fastest girl in Italy winning the women's 60m dash in a convincing 7.06

 

finally, 18-year young Aurora Vicini won the women's High Jump with 1m92cm, which is the new Italian Junior record

Definitely a story to keep tabs on…

 

 

My initial thought is that I’m not opposed to this decision, but it will be interesting to see how this develops.
