Hall with the best start of all the favourites,  Kate O'Connor also certainly throwing her hat in the ring.

There is always one sad case  and this time it is  Abbie Pawlett who falls.  Just on the last hurdle, so time is not completely hopeless, but no chance of any decent placing.

Oh that is nice, it has a season average tab! That is way better than the forecasts that only use everyone's heptathlon PB or (worse) the event PB's. Those are of course better than nothing, but using a more realistic average is perfect, thanks  

No problem, glad I could help

Just for fun i will keep checking what-if... Ada Sułek beat her PB a bit in each event in heptatathlon. What would it bring her?

100 H - PB: 13.08, here: 13.47, So let' say: 13.07 - 1114 pts 

 

1. Brooks 1135 2. Juskeviciute 1120 3. Hall 1117 4. Sułek 1114

 

Next: HJ - PB: 1.92

Ofc one can dream... Ada is coming back slowly, she missed Budapest WCH due to pregnancy, so i don't expect much from her here, glad she's back. I hope she will be much stronger at Indoor WCH in March 2026 (Toruń, Poland).

 

BTW, anybody wants to come to Toruń for Indoor WCH? A nice town in Poland, believe me. 

All the totallympics users, you are welcome! 

 

March 20-22

Should be fun, if there's no war with Russia here yet.

I like the heptathlon TV graphics here. Everything easy to follow!

Now all they need to do is add a forecast. Just showing standings with current points is only like 50% at best this early in a heptathlon.

BBC missed the live heptathlon hurdles because reasons, so when the athletics finally started they had a full half hour of yakking, montages and features before finally getting round to showing three Brits in action an hour previously.   Athletics fans without expensive cable subs not happy.....
