:question: Something's not quite adding up on these KJT results so treat them with caution. They were sourced from her performance page at World Athletics but when I checked Po10 they're not included and I've just had chance to cross reference the event's results for other British performances and she isn't listed there. 

 

Think I may have been taken in by WA's fake news :mad:

They are definitely wrong. It looks like they copied her results from the 2022 meet. Definitely doesn't appear on the official results for this year - https://www.tfrrs.org/results/85657/Hurricane_Alumni_Invitational

Been out of action for most of the weekend so not had a chance to go through all of the results yet but it looks like it has been a good weekend for the athletes with OQT for Cindy Sember (12.57) and Amber Anning (50.08) at the Tom Jones Memorial. 

 

On a less positive note, Matt Hudson-Smith was DNF in his race at the same event but then again, I think he pulled up in a couple of races last year and was still able to pull it out of the bag when it mattered.

Adam Gemili and Jerimiah Azu may not have made it on to the World Relays squads, but at least we can say they are not injured. They were both competing in the X Athletic Elite Meeting in Milan.

 

For some reason best known to themselves, they opted to compete over 150m :question:

 

Anyhow, Azu won in a time of 15.33 seconds whilst Gemili was 3rd in 15.73.

Amber Simpson breaks the 70m barrier for the first time in the hammer event at Garry Wieneke Memorial Illinois.

 

I think that's a 3m PB but she'll still need to find another 2m to meet the UKA standard.

He does seem to pull up if he feels a twinge, and given his history, that's maybe a good thing. Dina has a habit of pulling up too.

Jack Turner making solid progress in the decathlon at the Mt Sacs Relays in California getting three PBs on the first day. 

 

100m - 10.61 (+1.0m/s) PB 

Long Jump - 7.47m (+1.8m/s)

Shot Put - 13.62m PB

High Jump - 1.86m

400m - 47.60 PB

 

Day 1 Total - 4189

 

If he can match his PB in the remaining events, his score would be around 8100.

    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
