European Team Championships which will be held in Chorzów (the same stadium on which were World Relays earlier this month) between May 29th-30th will take place with spectators. 7500 people will be able to attend daily.

Only seven teams this weekend - COVID positives have ruled out :UKR.  They’ll be the relegated team so everyone else can relax.

Miltiadis Tentoglou jumped 8.60 m in Athens today :GRE

WL and PB (he previously had 8.32 outdoors and 8.38 indoors). So close to our national record also (8.66)

 

He seemed to be stuck around 8.25-8.35 for a few years despite being very consistent. Happy that now he has surpassed that and really putting himself in a position to win a medal in Tokyo hopefully. I was concerned because he was struggling with injury but this is a great way for him to open his outdoor season (he competed two weeks ago in 100m only)

LLAF cup has started in Lithuania today and it ends tomorrow.

 

Difficult conditions and high winds lead to some questionable results, it was especially tough for the discus throwers, high jumpers and long jumpers.

 

Notable results from day 1 were:

 

Andrius Gudžius easily took 1st place, this time with a more modest throw of 66.23

 

Airinė Palšytė in her first competition after a year (which she called a training routine) jumped over 1.90 and stopped her performance, because it was too cold.

 

Rapolas Saulius posted a 3rd best ever Lithuanian result in 110m. Hurdles with a time of 13.77

 

Lastly, Zinaida Sendriūtė seems to finally be looking stronger after coming back from her hiatus, she threw 59.30 in the discus today and she said in an interview that she hasn't given up on Tokyo just yet.

:LTU LITHUANIAN NATIONAL RECORD ALERT :LTU

 

This is the second Lithuanian national record to be broken this year. This time it was Simas Bertašius in his very first 1500m race of the season in the Continental cup that was held today in Greece.

 

He bettered his own record and it now stands at 3:37.82. His biggest achievement thus far is finishing 6th in the 2018 European Championships. 

 

This result also got him his second best Olympic qualification result with 1196 points and in the updated rankings he will be in the top 50 that make it to Tokyo.

 

He also plans to start four more times: the continental cup in Czech Republic, the team athletics championships 2nd division, the Lithuanian Championships and COSMA Cup.

Emma Zapletalová 55.45 in W 400H..missed the standard by 0.05 :( still not even counted in the ranking because this is her first official season and has only 3 registered races, athletes must have 5 races apparently to be counted in the ranking, I swear,  if she will have to miss Tokyo it will be really unfair and sad

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
