Abu Gaba appears to be a WD.

Is this a name change for the athlete formerly known as Anas Abu-Ganaba (b.1996) or somebody different?

Also, the normal cutoff age for FISU is(or at least used to be) 25, so is this a one-off extension to account for the COVID years or a permanent change?

Looking to the evening session, MTJ qual sees Hinson and Murphy with the 3rd and 4th longest SB of the starters...

With all the up and down movement in the multis, can anyone tell me where Ashley Moloney is in regards to the WCs ?

Seems Moloney started a decathlon in Cairns yesterday but pulled the pin after his shotput (11.05 into a -2.4 for his 100, legal 7.34 in LJ, 13.45 in SP). No other info at this stage.

At the same meet - (MLJ) Roper 8.04 (2.3)

[Vault-emort]

Despite crowd-clapping & techo beat-music (which announcer said was Kylle Minogue but idk) Baden had three fails at 2.29m - only his 2nd looking anywhere close.

He needed to hear 'I Should Be So Lucky'..

Bree Masters aus Australien. 11.39 (-0.3) - zweite.

[Vault-emort]

The only true "last chance" is for Rory Hunter.

Not so much 'last chance to qualify' as 'last chance to improve ranking'.
