Aussie Results/News 2023

[El Toro]

Seems so unjust, especially compared to McSweyn's brave front-running in his heat.

M1500 Heats - first 6 in each Heat to proceed.

Heat 1

13. Matthew RAMSDEN 3:46.45 qR

Heat 2 (for comparison between Heats)

4. Samuel TANNER (NZL) 3:46.93 Q

Heat 3

7. Stewart MCSWEYN 3:36.01, 6th fastest non-Q ever with top 13 all set this year + one equalled! Was 3:37.57, 2022. Fastest AUS non-Q in Heats was Ryan GREGSON (NSW) Ht1 11th 3:38.69, 2019.

Heat 4

3. Adam SPENCER 3:34.17 Q, fastest ever Heat time by AUS at WC, was Stewart MCSWEYN (Tas) Ht2 1st 3:34.91, 2022.

Sam Dale and most of our male LJers also very very fortunate to even be in Budapest...

When I think of some of the athletes of old who missed out and see some of this year's team..

[Vault-emort]

It seemed unfair that Ramsden was in the team at all.

As we all know, he only scraped into the team cos Cam Myers pulled the plug on '23.

[El Toro]

Matt Ramsden makes it to the next round by faliing over. That should be his only tactic in the future cos otherwise he's rooted.

M1500 2019

Heat 2
13. Matthew RAMSDEN 3:47.59(advanced)

[AS]

Horizontal jumping VERY disappointing so far...

Seems so unjust, especially compared to McSweyn's brave front-running in his heat.

It seemed unfair that Ramsden was in the team at all. Can't recall the last time he impressed (Nitro Series?)

[El Toro]

Not sure if anyone's clocked 4.01 at WCs before and been run out of the heats the way the poor Italian girl was.

W1500 2023

Heat 3
7. Sintayehu VISSA 4:01.66 PB, fastest ever non-Q, was 4:05.72, 1999 (IAAF Stats book).

W1500 1999

Heat 1
6. Hayley Parry-Tullett (GBR) 4:05.72

Heat 2
8. Lyudmila Rogachova (RUS) 4:05.72



Interestingly, 1999 was two Heats direct to final, so could be considered by some to be more the equivalent of a semi-final. Stats book lists fastest non-Q to final from a SF as 4:01.80, 2019.

W1500 2019

SF 2
8. Jessica Hull (AUS) 4:01.80 PB (as listed above by V-e)

[Vault-emort]

and Hyll

You should have said 'Orr Hyll'

Orr is (much) further down the list

[typpo]

Just a heat but - IF I've got this correct - one of the fastest times ever by an Aussie woman in a major:

3-58.81 Hull 4sf OG2021
3-59.01 Hall 6f OG2021
4-01.37 Hall 3sf OG2021
4-01.45 Hall 4h WC2023
4-01.80 Hull 8sf WC2019
4-01.81 Hull 3sf WC2022
4-01.82 Hull 7f WC2022
4-02.27 Hall 3h OG2021

All three Aussies girls had to work hard to get through. Not sure if anyone's clocked 4.01 at WCs before and been run out of the heats the way the poor Italian girl was.

4-01.81 Hull 3sf WC2022
4-01.82 Hull 7f WC2022
4-02.27 Hall 3h OG2021

Are Hell, Hill, Holl, and Hyll further down the list?

[Vault-emort]

6. Linden Hall 4:01.45 Q

Just a heat but - IF I've got this correct - one of the fastest times ever by an Aussie woman in a major:

3-58.81 Hull 4sf OG2021

[El Toro]

Today I learned on the WC commentary that there is a Pacific nation named after Ash's sister, Kiri Barty, and that Geordie Beamish is Linden Hall's "teammate". I now believe both these things to be true...
