Cristophe Lemaitre struggling for an OQT, still about 0.40 off.

 

Dafne Schippers running in her pyjamas, seemingly.

 

Duplantis 5.92 WL, going for 6.0.  Gets it!

Tentoglou 8.48 at Greek Championships today and he was angry about it, he wanted to do so much better but he had four fouls. His other jump was 8.41. On both of his jumps he had plenty of space but jumped too far before the line.

 

He's starting to look like a real contender for Tokyo.

Other notable result was 17 year old Polyniki Emmanouilidou smashing the U20NR in 200m. Her time was 23.83, the previous NR was 24.00 from 2007 and her previous PB was 24.12. I expect her to improve this national record this year and also in 2022.

 

And Elina Tzengko finally started throwing over 60m again in the javelin throw. Looks like she might make it to Tokyo after all if she can stay consistent like she was in 2020. Would be great to make her Olympic debut as an 18 year old. Also her U20WR from last year (63.96) is not officially recognized because there was no doping control at that meet, so hopefully she can even achieve the 64.00 Olympic standard in the coming weeks and also have an official U20 world record.

 

Also our 18 year old heptathlete Anastasia Dragomirova won the women's shot put with a new PB (15.69). Really good for a heptathlete. She said she's only competing in throwing events this year due to injury, but her PBs in field events are really impressive. She has 1.78 in high jump, 6.44 in long jump, and 45.76 in javelin throw.

 

Lastly some really impressive results from our youngsters in the men's hammer throw. We have so much depth in that event nowadays. Safe to say we will qualify three male hammer throwers for the 2024, 2028, 2032 and 2036 Olympics. It's almost guaranteed at this point.

Lemaitre seems safe over the world rankings and he still has the nationals to come with a lot of ranking points.

If he doesn't get close to 20.40 (at least), I doubt the French federation or even himself will consider an individual participation.

In what other events they have athletes?

True enough, the Kenyans are always trying to find sprinters, throwers etc, but the Ethiopians stick with the usual.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
