Odermatt skis out!  Misses out on the perfect 10/10 season.
 
 Verdu Second!

During the World Indoors, we were discussing if the times for the 4x400m in the NCAA Indoors would be quicker.
 
Well....
 
Men
World Indoors Belgium 3:02.54 - NCAA Indoors Arizona State 3:02.35 & obviously faster than the US National Team
 
Women
World Indoors Netherlands 3:27.07 - NCAA Indoors South Carolina 3:26.30 & also faster than the US National Team

Think I’m right in saying that was a World Championship run!  Nicky Minichiello (left) & Gillian Cooke who has a story to tell her grndchildren. 

Maghreb just means “The West” so….

Bobsleigh on a bit of a gap year, testing new kit etc.  We’ll be back!

2 consecutive 7 second shoots from both!
 
Straight running race!

Here we go with the men’s Laser Run -  versus the World!
 
And the stream goes down!

Not odd at all!

Looks good for  Gulyas, big battle for bronze.
 
Last shoot meltdown for  Maliszewska costs her bronze!

I notice they’re still doing the swimming, so obviously ranking points worth fighting for.

The Netherlands are as famous for messing up penalty shootouts as they are for cheese.

all the Abu Dhabi races have been cancelled!

this means that also  and  are now officially qualified to the Olympic Games in the Mixed Relay, since no more (useful) events are scheduled before the deadline of the OQP (March 25th)

No it's just an auto correct problem on my mobile 

The 2024 World Triathlon Championships Series gets underway in Abu Dhabi this weekend - 1 of only 3 WTCS level events before the end of the qualification window.
 
 Men:
1.) Alex Yee
2.) Max Stapley
3.) Samuel Dixon 
 
No Brownlee or Izzard!!! It's almost like we've given up on getting that 3rd individual quota. 
 
 Women:
1.) Beth Potter
2.) Sophie Coldwell
3.) Kate Waugh
4.) Georgia Taylor-Brown
 
Good to see GTB back on the start list - it will be interesting to see what kind of form she is in after such a long layoff. 
 
 

Good idea to keep it away from the normal games.

Just because lots of people suffer a delusion doesn't make the delusion real.

Ehammer just does enough to rescue it.

Furlani wishing the LJ rules were changed already.  

Furlani 8.10, so takes the lead.
 
Tentoglou responds immediately 8.15.

Ehammer time!
 
 

Furlani &  Tentoglu ties on 8.22 in the LJ -  leads on better second jump.

Don’t get me started on  cricketers.
