Athletics WA World Championships 2025

[Monzanator 4,768]

Paulino also run faster than Kratochvilova!

Nobody sub-48 since the doped communists, now two in one race  

 

Too bad Paulino wasn't the winner, but alright, it was a fun race

Last few minutes of the Marita Koch era.

Still has both solo, relay & cubic metres of coal dug in a single shift.

They narrowed it down to 47.78 for SML. Well, guess the WR chase will be on IF she wants to do it and pause on the 400H.

[intoronto 6,400]

Even the Canadian Media finish in fourth

Imagine going 47.98 and 48.19 and only getting silver and bronze. Crazy fast times.

In LA perhaps, I doubt she'll really peak 100% until then. If we even see her more than a handful of times until that time

I think we just watched the 'real' World Record(s).....

This would be a lot easier to say if shady Kersee wasn't her coach.

I think she'll go for the double 400m/400m HS there, so most likely she'll have to save as much energy as possible

 

record attempts will happen only if someone is going to push her like Paulino did Today, but I'm not sure she'll be able to run faster in 3 years time

 

my fear is that we won't see her in a single race next year and only in the 400m HS in 2027, before the final showdown at home in 2028 (after that, I'm pretty sure she'll retire)
