It's also surprising to see a non thicc women take a medal in shot put.

 

The rotational style is more about technique so you should see more of these thinner shot putters having success tbh.

But so many no throws!  Always feel like telling them to cut the crap & just shuffle to get a distance in, but they are shot putters so I am too scared to say anything.

Not surprised to see 60m NRs for :FIJ & :FSM there.

 

Fijian guy has done enough to earn a free drink & a place on the sofa.

    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats 
    • update: Not the best start to the year for Tentoglou, but I guess it can only get better from here    Karalis seems to be getting consistent in jumps over 5.90m, and proving that 2024 was no fluke and he is hopefully here to stay (and I guess to win more silver and bronze medals because there is some Swedish guy who is apparently too good )   No news on Stefanidi and she hasn't been very active on social media. She may have quietly retired, but I have a feeling she is pregnant and will try to come back for LA 2028.    Meanwhile, we have some other hopes in the women's pole vault and I think we'll still qualify 3 girls for LA even without Polak (suspended), Kyriakopoulou (retired), and Stefanidi. Two 16 yos are doing well this indoor season, Bouboulidi (4.21) and Mirtsiou (4.15). We also have 21 yo Retsa, who seemed very promising a number of years ago with 4.14 as a 16 yo and then had some injuries and her progress kind of stalled. Now she is improving a lot this year and has a SB (and obviously PR) of 4.41    New U18NR in the men's long jump from 17 yo Tzelepis with 7.46. It will be interesting to track his progress over the next few years vs Tentoglou when he was that young. There are another two teenagers who seem promising, both from Grevena (Tentoglou's hometown) - Samaras and Isaakidis.   Also 19 yo Mita in the men's high jump with a new PB of 2.26

    • Our entry:   We had a national final for the first time in many years, it was mainly between Klavdia and Evangelia (see below), but here are some other songs I also liked:                  
    • The fact that the New Zealand Olympic committee was waffling on sending him to Beijing is such a joke too. Lots of people there should be extremely ashamed of themselves.
    • Could you write a bit more about her struggles and misfortunes over the years? I' m not so familiar with her story.
