Very little of the discus was shown,there was apparently wind earlier,but i think by the time discus started it wasn't there anymore,i would be very surprised if the throw was aided by wind since no other women could capitalize on it

Airinė Palšytė :LTU just jumped the highest that she has in I don't know how many years, to be frank :p

 

1.92 and qualification to the European Championships is secured. 

 

Solid points for Olympic rating too.

Italian Record and World Junior Record for Mattia Furlani: 8.31m ad 1st jump.

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 Wayne Pinnock

 

more interesting results from day #1 of the Italian Indoor Nationals:

 

  • Elisa Molinarolo won the women's Pole Vault with 4m66cm (new NR)
  • Lorenzo Simonelli won the men's 60m Hurdles in 7.48 (new NR)
  • Larissa Iapichino won the women's Long Jump with 6m80cm (SB)

 

and Tomorrow Andy Diaz (men's TJ), Zeynab Dosso (women's 60m) and Leonardo Fabbri + Zane Weir (men's Shot Put) will be on stage for more exciting efforts

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
