New WL for  Tara Davis-Woodhall in women’s long jump, with 7.16m at the Arkansas Twilight! Third result over 7.05m this year, and is looking like the clear favourite for Olympic gold in Paris. 

[Josh 10,654]

 Brooke Andersen with a new WL of 79.92m in women’s hammer throw at the USATF Throws Invitational!

 

There goes Roger’s chance of Olympic gold, assuming she can stay injury free between now and Paris.

 Doesn't mean Andersen will be able to do that at the games

I know but she’s shown she can do it in big meets, as the World Champion in 2022.
