Mika Sosna the under 20 world record holder opens his season with 59.98,5th best throw as the second month of the season begins.good for him to have a normal opener since he had no mark in his first two comps last year,then went  right out to his pb of 65.57 and simply couldn't back that up when it mattered,high 62 in a few german comps,no mark to finish the season at the german championships.Perhaps a more stable first start to the year will set the right tone this time.

Live stream for Beskydska Latka (WA Indoor Tour Silver) in Trinec, Czech Republic! 

 

This event is high jump only, but a solid field nonetheless. On the women’s side the heavy favourite is Kazakhstani national record holder Safina Sadullayeva, who has a PB of 1.97m. Much deeper field in terms of quality on the men’s side with Cuban Luis Enrique Zayas (2.33m PB), German Tobias Potye (2.34m PB), American Shelby McEwen (2.33m PB), and Pole Norbert Kobielski (2.33m PB) all expected to be in the mix.

I’ll try to search for a worldwide non geo-blocked stream, will update the post if I find one. 

 

Only men’s pole vault at this meet, but this could very much be an Olympic final, a lot of the big guns are entered.

 

Here’s the full start list: Chris Nilsen, Sam Kendricks, Pål Haugen Lillefosse, Thibault Collet, Ben Broeders, Kurtis Marschall, KC Lightfoot, and of course Armand Duplantis.
