Athletics WA Diamond League 2021

[Grassmarket 3,531]

Dunno if Femke Bol is getting a bonus for each PB/NR, but if she is, she’s earning more than Messi - 53.33 NR.

Triple jump once again showing how much this final 3 format is utter bullshit. Pereira with a foul, Diaz was already injured before and then Triki only had to have a valid jump (which, admittedly, he did well) in order to win. Ugh.

 

'Luckily' the overall level was rather low anyway so this time it didn't change that much.

Impressive run by Kejelcha, 12th fastest time ever.

Too bad for Seccafian  in the women’s 5000m - literally everyone else in the race gets letters after their time, not even a SB for her.

super nice pb for Kate grace, but yeah, too late dear Kate, now we are a week after

Another big letters-after-your-time race in the Mile.  OK, a bit easier to pick up a NR if you’re from a metric country.

[hckošice 15,027]

ok, time for some WR.

[hckošice 15,027]

yep he did.

 

46.70

Strawberry getting dangerously over-excited, I fear a tragedy.

Wow. One of the absolute athletics highlights of the past few years
