Werloc 3,138 Posted June 18, 2016 #271 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Nothing too special in the second day, Eva Misiūnaitė was close to qualifying to EC in 200m. with 23.79 and Domantas Poška threw the discus 62.47 (Born in 1996, so still fairly young). Zinaida Sendriūtė first time this year managed to reach 60m. in discus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander 53 Posted June 18, 2016 #272 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) No new standards on the 3rd day of our NCH but sensational-wtf-results keep goin'. Another national record (U18) in high jump. 17 years old heptathlete (!) Alina Shuh cleared 1.92 in high jump from the 1st attempt and refused from jumping 1.95. 17 years old. Heptathlete. 1.92. With a little margin. She could have achieved the Olympic standard in high jump... and get that 3rd place in our Olympic high jump team 18 yo Levchenko set her new PB of 1.95 in the evening & next morning even younger girl cleared 1.92. ps. Wondering if she's going to Amsterdam btw. ps2. On a side note, happy that 3 paralympic athletes competed in the same events with everyone. They didn't show fantastic results comparing to our elite athletes but this was incredible (for our athletics) on its own.

De_Gambassi 904 Posted June 20, 2016 #277 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) An off the field news: The former Aviva parisian meeting will move from the Stade de France to the much smaller Charléty Stadium (20 K, possibly to expand to 24K) from 2017 onwards. With the loss of their name-sponsor and Bolt on his way out, the french federation is looking for a much, much reduced bill (800 K€ at the moment). Besides the meeting was far from a full house the later years. Spoiler Veteran athletics fans might remember the stadium from the Meeting de Paris which was held in that stadium up to the late 90's. The french federation is also looking to hold the 2020 euro championship in that stadium. Edited June 20, 2016 by De_Gambassi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I very much prefer a relatively full "small" stadium than a huge stadium that's filled for 10%..

The atmosphere should be much friendlier and the stadium should easely be filled up (they were still 40K spectators last year). The stadium is also in Paris proper, unlike the Stade de France.
