"Road to Oregon"

[Tuariki]

My take on what GH said was "if the US Government introduces similar travel restrictions as Japan, and enforces them for WC athletes as well".

Personally, can't see that happening given how the US has allowed sport to function already.

You're not getting what gh was saying at all.

That's because it can be understood in several different ways.

only if Japanese travel restrictions (the reason for the FINA hold) are enforced

thanks

[NotDutra5]

That the USA would adopt Japanese travel restrictions?! I certainly don't see that happening, if for no other reason than political.

He's saying the if would have to be based on Japanese travel restrictions which I assume it won't.

?!
It's not in Japan, or are you saying Eugene22 would postpose because the Japanese can't come?

World Swimming Championships, scheduled for this year, have been pushed back 1 year. Any chance this will happen to Eugene '22?

The error was that photo caption reported 2:29:12, instead of 2:19:12. It has since been corrected.

Ha! Missed the obvious!

[Davidokun]

Kastor ran 2:19:36 and D'Amaato ran 2:19.12. My IBM Watson super-computer calculates that as a 24-second improvement.
The verb one wishes to employ in announcing that new record is subjective, and therefore needs not be 'corrected'.
The shoes are here to say, and I have made my peace with them.

I did not want to start a new topic but your first page story line says "A 2:29:12 saw Keira D’Amata destroy Deena Kastor’s AR by 24 seconds." Please correct.

Hi gh!
I did not want to start a new topic but your first page story line says "A 2:29:12 saw Keira D’Amata destroy Deena Kastor’s AR by 24 seconds." Please correct.
Here is an article in NY Times, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/19/s...on-record.html, Keira D’Amato and Sara Hall Rewrite the Distance Running History Books

May I say it again that these great records are mostly due to new shoes technology as well as great athletes Mrs. Hall and D'Amato? Analysis of top ten men and women finisher does not indicate shoe technology had a big part in these record thouh.

Indoor 2022
All women records in 1000, 2000, 3000, 2M, 5000 will be broken IMO.

Summer 2022 outdoor:
men 1500m: 3:25 and mile 3:42 (less chance)
men 10,000m 25:59!
women 3000m:7:59
women 5000m: 13:59

Going by my 200m example and the 2021 lists, there were something like 6 women that made the SF in the 200m that did not run 22.8 that year (and another 4 that had just snuck under and run in the 22.7's). In 2019, there were 9 women in the SFs that hadn't run 22.8 that year (and again, a handful only just in the 22.7's). That's 9 women of the 24 SFinalists (37.5 %) that would, this season, by quaifed by ranking points and positions. That is a significant number.

I would say reaching the Olympic SF is a great achievement, personally.

A. I still think there have been medalists that did not meet the "A-Std'.
B. Donley's point remains - having been to the Big Show before helps immensely when they're old enough to do well.

Alrighty then.
