21-year-old :GBR Jemma Reekie has set a new British indoor 800m record in Glasgow with a time of 1:57.91. Her former personal best was 2:01.45 (outdoor). Reekie’s time is the fastest time set since 2006 on a indoor 800m and it moves her to 11th on the world all-time list on women's indoor 800m. :GBR Laura Muir finished second in 1:58.44. 

 

There has also been some discussion about footwear. It has been stated by some that Jemma Reekie and Laura Muir used a new Nike prototype of spikes. These types of spikes are only available to selected elite athetes sponsored by Nike. 

 

It has to be said it is not clear if Reekie used the new protoype during the race, as it appears to be Muir who is holding the shoes on the picture to the right. 

Also, I hate when Fosbury changed high jumping, and when swimmers wore swimwear that made them go faster, and when bobsledding embraced aerodynamics ?

That's all fun and well, but if I'm not mistaken World Athletics has a rule stating footwear has to be 'reasonably available to the general public' to allow it to be used. 

 

Those super swimsuits were banned relatively quickly by the way. And aerodynamics or (even worse) Fosbury's change are even way more terrible comparisons.

I am sure there is one tiny village shop deep in the forests of Oregon that has an amazing selection of shoes.  Similarly a village shop way up beyond the Norwegian Arctic Circle full of cross-country skis, another deep in the Black Forest that sells luges etc etc.  :mumble:

Not sure luge has those rules though and most of those top cross-country skis can in fact be bought by the general public, they're just rather expensive :p

A few comments about this week's update:

:DMA Thea Lafond becomes the small island nation's first athlete to qualify for Tokyo.

:GBR Harry Coppell jump of 5.80m in Rouen is not listed on WA's season lists. It's marked with an "UNC". I'm not sure what this remark means? However, British Athletics mention it as an Olympic standard, so I will include him on my list: https://www.britishathletics.org.uk/news-and-features/weekend-update-10-02-2020/

Lastly, as you can see, I still include Russian athletes in my updates and list. Currently WA doens't give ANA-status to any Russian athletes. If WA again begins to give ANA-status to some Russian athletes, it's not certain any former performances under :RUS flag will count. This could mean Morgunov would have to achieve the Olympic standard again to qualify. Nevertheless, I will continue to include any Russian athlete who achieves the Olympic standard in my updates and list. Bear in mind, my list of qualified athletes it's not a perfect resemblance of the final start lists for Tokyo.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
