If she had gone for it, this would have been a serious challenge for Martina Koch's time.

 

First time in many years that time is actually, genuinely under threat this week.

One where doping is legal.

It is a real pity she doped because i really like her running technique

[Josh 11,800]

Pretty poetic stuff, both Canadians not only produced NR’s in the hammer throw finals, but  they’re also now the #2 performers on all-time men’s/women’s list. 
 

Surely that’ll mean Katzberg wins today?

Edit: Never mind, I was looking at the WR progression

So it will be a fitting final  

 

Would also be rather fitting if this race, of all races, is going to break Koch's record

Yeah, the hammer is done. Katzberg beat the old CR by over a meter (83.63 from 2007).

In his hotel in Tokyo, after a terrible season full of injuries

He wasn't even supposed to participate, but he wanted to give it a go anyway.

Yeah, I just realized I was looking at the WR progression instead of the all-time list 

 

It’s 5am, I’m tired
