Gudef Tsegay ran 29:39.42 at the Rebeira meet!
Saw the last 6-7 laps on livestream!
She looked as smooth as Ayana did in her WR!!

From WA twitter post:
Gudaf Tsegay clocks 29:39.42 – the fastest 10,000m debut in history.
She becomes the first woman in history to run sub-2:00 for 800m and sub-30:00 for 10,000m within the same calendar year and moves to #5 on the all-time lists.

Yulimar Rojas 15.14 (+2.0) in R2 in Ibiza. I swear her R3 a few minutes ago was a marginal foul at around 15.60 !!

The R3 jump starts at 52:30, but her other two fouls, R1 and R6 look almost as far as the R3, and the angle makes it hard to see, even at 0.25 playback speed.

It's was a pretty bad foul, but she did the Beamon thing and outjumped the measuring device on the board, maybe a foot past 15.50?!

Been watching the livestream of the Euro Throws, waiting to see Wlodarczyk throw!
After FOUR rounds, they've not shown even ONE throw of her's--and she's in 2nd now with 72.37!
(I found that out by checking the results!)

Just showed her last (foul) throw.

So with 73.87m, 72.37m, 72.12m and 72.10m, I think Wlodarczyk is back to being a serious medal threat assuming she stays healthy.

I LOVE Wlodarczyk--a big fan!
But 72.37 is 237-8.
Price and Andersen have thrown about 6 meters farther more than once.
Berry just threw about 75 meters!
Three Americans better than Anita!
I know she's just starting her season, but still, you expect more from the WR holder!

[Atticus]

Yes, you do. I think she's started well.

I would like to know what Anita thought of her performance in Split, and where her training is with three months to go before the Olympics. Wlodarczyk certainly knows how to peak for big competitions, often throwing 3-4 meters farther in championship meets than her early season marks. This will be an interesting event as we get closer to the Olympics.

Maria Andrejczyk just threw the Javelin 71.40 (234-3) in the 1st round at the Euro Throws!
Third best ever!
