I’d go back to Tokyo 1991., not since that era.

Trajković the one done out of his final place.  Hope he appeals.

Woah, HUGE 6.82 in the Heptathlon LJ for Kälin !  That’s a Championship Record.

Kälin with a 45m javelin, probably will be an 800m battle for silver between her &  Dokter.

She was injured in training on Sunday. While gripping a stick, her upper arm slipped and the tip of the stick got caught in a muscle in her arm. The impact left her with a torn muscle in her arm. She came to Rome to compete for medals, but had to cancel.

But normal service resumed in the PV - Vekemans No Mark.
