And other members of the group were also running well today: Kielbasinska ran 7.24 twice over 60m and then 23.02; Skryzsowska equalled the WL and PBed in the 60mh with 7.86 with Visser also under 8.00.

Lehikoinen's fellow Finn Reetta Hurske also ran 7.86 in Dusseldorf.

Annimari Korte ran 8.05 in Helsinki on Thursday and 8.10 in Stockholm today. She plans to run at the EC in Istanbul. Nooralotta Neziri is not competing this indoor season.

Mihambo 6.83 WL in Düsseldorf today.

A great clutch performance in the last round after trailing well down the field. She's becoming the ultimate competitor.

I'm hearing Danyl Lysenko jumped 2.38 yesterday in Moscow.

Mihambo 6.83 WL in Düsseldorf today.

Nigeria's Usoro jumped 6.87m at Texas Tech on Friday.
She's competing unattached, but it's possible Usoro has one more outdoor season of NCAA eligibility. Not sure.

I would think that is correct since WA has it listed!

Jessica Schilder (b. 1999) has a much better start to the year than last year when her first three comps were 18.43/16.92/18.49, compared to this year's 18.76/19.12. Schilder then went on to throw 4 competitions over 19m, topped by a 19.71 NR in mid-February and a bronze at WIC with 19.48.

At the start of last year, Corrie de Bruin had held the indoor NR for 24 years with 18.97 from 1988. Then both Schilder and Jorinda van Klinken exceeded 19m indoors to surpass de Bruin. Unfortunately, van Klinken didn't achieve this until March, but this did create the unique circumstance of two NED SPers over 19m in the same month and year, although on other sides of the world, with van Klinken in Albuquerque and Schilder in Beograd.

Perhaps this year, we might see them do it in the same competition but with van Klinken eligible for her last indoor season with ASU, it might not be till summer. If it does happen, van Klinken has a long way to go to match Schilder who threw 10 times over 19m including a 20.24 NR outdoors to win the EC in Munich.

Just like indoors, Schilder smashed the 18.87 outdoors NR of de Bruin, also from 1998, a feat also achieved by van Klinken with her 18.94 but again too late for van Klinken to get a record credit after Schilder's earlier success.

While this is a golden age for NED WSP, it's interesting to see that Schilder has not thrown DT since 7 May 2017 with a modest 44.77 PB. Compare this to van Klinken with a 70.22 NR, or a 65.94 if you like to scream WIND!!! Will they eventually go their separate ways or will van Klinken continue to be a legitimate domestic rival in SP?

I would say that they are not run often enough by enough world-class athletes outside of the US to justify being full world record distances.
[...]
I can't recall seeing the result of an indoor 500m race held here. I don't think they're common in Continental Europe either despite it being half a Km.

Further evidence that you are effectively keeping dementia at bay! GBR has never held a world class indoor 500m but 17 countries have.

I extracted the IAAF alltime list of indoor performers, limit 1:15.50 and determined the number of races for all those best times for each country and the time period across which they've been held. Note that this includes rounds and multiple finals within meetings.

The conclusion is obvious that indoor 500m is not a thing anywhere except USA and a little bit in RUS.

Here's the data:

Country	Number	%Total	First	Last
USA	716	84.4%	1977	2023
RUS#	80	9.4%	1987	2022
CZE	10	1.2%	2005	2022
CAN	9	1.1%	1972	2010
ESP	8	0.9%	2013	2022
GER	5	0.6%	1975	1999
SVK	4	0.5%	2010	2023
LTU	3	0.4%	1987	1988
TCH	3	0.4%	1984	2014
BLR	2	0.2%	1986	1988
ITA	2	0.2%	2007	2007
POL	2	0.2%	2016	2016
AZE	1	0.1%	1988	1988
LAT	1	0.1%	2004	2004
NOR	1	0.1%	2019	2019
POR	1	0.1%	2004	2004
Total	848	100.00%

# IAAF has separate entries for RUS and URS but I combined these because all the URS races were in Russian cities.
