a nice story from Cyprus.   a popular Russian football blogger Evgeniy Savin established a football club Krasava (named after his blog, it means something like Cool fellow) in 2021. The next year Savin made an anti-war report, was declared wanted and had to flee. He moved team to Cyprus and it started playing in the second division. In the third season they promoted to the top Cyprus division. Not every day a blogger's team gets such promotion, especially in a foreign country

Now Drion from  and Filippov  are in for sure with Klette  having a pretty good lead for the last spot. In the women's Paller  and Murada  are in. The final spot could be interesting but Jagecikova  has a decent lead.

Sara Curtis improved her 100 free PB to 53.57 in the heats  

The fact that he threw only 3 times over 70m tells you everything you need to know about Ramona. It's pure wind doping and you know it. It doesn't matter who competes there or not, the rules should be stricter when it comes to outside sources like the wind. If say 100m sprinters had such help they would run close to 9s. Those records wouldn't stand, but somehow they're still allowed in field events. If these records had any legitimacy the athletes would be throwing close to that mark regularly, yet they do not. That's my problem, I have no problems with athletes who go there to compete. 

Such a cute venue. Really glad they found a use for it at these games.
