I'm expecting big(ger) things from the Eastern Europeans this year: Akimenko, Nedasekau, Ivanyuk, Bondarenko, etc..
We've had glimpses of greatness, but generally speaking the mHJ has been pretty moribund.

Id be surprised if Bondarenko can get back to peak form.

Mahuchikh starting off her season with a 2.02 (=PB, =NR) in Kiev, a very clean competition with no miss till 2.04 (XXX) which is something rather rare for her. Levchenko 1.95, Geraschenko 1.92.

Lasitskene will have her hands full this year, trying to beat her.

Lasitskene will have her hands full this year, trying to beat her.

This opener is a major difference with Lasitskene's opener of 1.92. Too early to tell, but I would make Mahuckikh a slight favorite.

I would make Mahuckikh a slight favorite.

Insufficient data. Lasits should be in heavy training now. Lasit is the Champ and the Champ is the Champ until she puts her title on the line in a meaningful comp.

what anybody is jumping (or running or throwing) in January has zero (no, make that less than zero) relevance towards what's going to happen this summer

Not so with Shelby Houlihan and Karissa Schweizer!
They smashed the AR in the 3000 INdoors with 8:25's or 8:26's.
Then last summer they ran those super fast 5000's.
I'd say those INdoor times foreshadowed their 5K breakthroughs!

I am certainly not a card-carrying "Bring Back the Mile" club member, but these results from Australian seem . . . wrong.

It's a little like the British Miler's club which organises races from 600m (very occasionally) up to 5000m. Despite its name, they hold far more 1500m races than miles.

I was just about to say that too...I've run in one or two....the Miler's name is a bit of a misnomer...
