They tried to eliminate Semenya, Wambui etc. so hard they forgot to introduce the same rule for men all the bold guys beware, lol.

IAAF competes with FIFA for the title of most corrupt & hateful trash dump of the sports world. Testosterone research has existed for decades, so why now? To make it even more hypocrite they didn't prohibit other hormones from " when administered exogenously" list to ban everyone with naturally "abnormal" levels.

Honestly, I have a strange feeling that the rule will be lifted when athletes such as Semenya come from Europe or America

Except for men's 100m and 200m, kind of a reduced participation, probably because it's rather soon after CAC Games.

Our National Championships are taking place in Lutsk. The home stadium of 2019 European Combined Events Team Championships.

 

 

Men's LJ:

1. Serhiy Nykyforov - 8.23 (and another one at 8.20 - he's back to his awesome results finally )

2. Vladyslav Mazur - 8.07

 

Women's LJ:

1. Maryna Bekh - 6.86 (+2.2m/s unfortunately, 6.70 is the legal one)

2. Kristina Hryshutina - 6.81

 

Women's HJ:

1. Yuliya Levchenko - 1.96 (that's under training loads)

2. Kateryna Tabashnyk - 1.96 (she also cleared it at the 1st attempt)

3. Oksana Okuneva - 1.94

 

Men's JT: Yuriy Kushniruk surprisingly got the ECH standard with 80.55. "Lucky" throw imo. Not pleased with the rest of the serie.

 

Men's PV: Lots of mistakes for Malykhin (he hasn't had enough starts because of injury).  50cm gaps at both successful attempts (5.00 and 5.20) ... :|

 

Women's 10 000m: Two additional ECH standards. 5 overall but there are 3 obvious choices.

 

Women's 100m: The new PB of 11.20 for Stuy.

 

Men's 100m:

1. Serhiy Smelyk - 10.16

2. Oleksandr Sokolov - 10.17 (our new NU23R and regional record *shooketh* - my city is not about high jump only anymore he became the 5th best Ukrainian ever).

What was Chicherova's result?

3 failures at 1.94 (not sure if the good result was 1.90 or 1.91)...

 

here you can watch all the Russian championships live and/or on-demand (women's HJ is in day #1, вечерняя сессия...Chicherova's attempts at 1.94 are at about 3h30mins of that video):
