"Probably just terribly wrong timing" doesn't really work there, maybe people will start believing it now If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

And now Alvertsian got a universality place in the women's 100m. She is a long/triple jumper and never ran 100m in her long career (her World Athletics profile has results from 2011). Her first (and only) 100m ever was actually last Saturday in the Balkan Championships https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/greece/kristina-alvertsian-14459789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,666 Posted July 1, 2021 #333 Share Posted July 1, 2021 On 27/06/2021 at 14:39, Makedonas said: Looks like Armenia is really trying to build their team and get their diaspora athletes to compete for them. I've noticed that Allison Halverson (heptathlon) and Kristina Alvertsian (triple jump) both now compete for Armenia. Halverson has posts about being Armenian on her instagram, so I guess her mother is Armenian? And Alvertsian obviously has an Armenian surname. There might be others too, but these are the only two that I saw so far. Here's another one: https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/armenia/alexander-donigian-14423245 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised at all if she's a new case of the Semenya & co. saga... for sure, there's nothing to trust when you see something like that...

Werloc 3,138 Posted July 1, 2021 #335 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I forgot to update that Mykolas Alekna threw the second furthest distance of all time in the 1.75kg Discus Throw at 69.77. It was only 36 centimetres shorter than the World Youth record by Mykyta Nesterenko in 2008. Mykolas Alekna is scheduled to take part in both the U20 championships being held this year.
