Kelvin Kiptum died today. What a massive loss

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

On a more positive note, the Millrose Games were today. 

 

:USA Chris Nilsen and KC Lightfoot both recorded marks of 5.82m in men’s pole vault, with Nilsen winning on count back. 
 

:USA Yared Nuguse clocked a time of 3:47.83 to win the men’s mile, while :USA Elle St Pierre clocked a time of 4:16.41 to win the women’s mile (3rd fastest time in history)

 

In the women’s 60m, :LCA Julien Alfred won in 6.99 :wub: while in the men’s 60m :USA Christian Coleman won in 6.51. 

 

In the men’s 60m hurdles, :USA Dylan Beard won in 7.54.

 

But perhaps the most impressive performances were from :BAH Devynne Charleton, who broke the WR in the women’s 60m hurdles with a time of 7.67, and :GBR Josh Kerr, who broke the men’s 2 mile WR in 8:00.67!

The 2 Mile was a rare WR run as a race, not as disco light show.

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
