I see Michelle Jenneke regained her # 2 position on the 60H AUS A/T list overnight, clocking 7.89 for 2nd in Berlin. Her 2nd PB of the day after winning her heat in 7.95.
At the same meet Kurt Marschall vaulted 5.82m for 3rd.
The Adelaide International meet is about to start. Those from overseas who might want to watch, the live-stream should be available here in the next ten minutes:

The stream is much better quality than in the last couple of years. Matt Lynch did his best but the video was hampered by poor quality direction/camerapeople.
With Dave Culbert commentating (and Jess Stenson doing a decent job) it seems pretty good. Not sure about the one announcing the competitors though - he seems to have some strange pronunciations for some names..
Direction and camera-work is so much better here I suspect Channel 7 has its' personnel working on these streams which augers well for upcoming CT meets and hopefully the Nationals.
Stream commentary should get even better for our first Continental Tour Gold meet in Melbourne when legend Bruce McAvaney, Tamsyn Lewis-Manou & Jason Richardson join the team.
The W100 was run into a .headwind of 2.4, so I adjusted the times to still conditions using Mureika.
It shows that Naa Anang is ready take the National Record of 11.11 +1.9 from Melissa Breen with just a decent tailwind of 1.5 to give her a 11.10 run. And that's while she classifies herself as "learning to be a sprinter" and without fully peaking!
Torrie Lewis also looks ready for a big update of her PB as well and Bree Masters is also around PB performance. Kristie Edwards was also in PB form tonight and Ebony Lane not far away. If they all keep hammering against each other this season, we should get a substantial rewriting of the AT list.
Ellie Sandford won the W800 in 2:01.18 PB, trimming her previous best of 2:01.98 from Bern in June last year. She start off 2022 with a PB of 2:03.06 set in December 2021, so making solid progress towards 2 flat.
Matt Denny won the MDT with 64.39 his second best season opener after last year's 64.64 at the Sydney Track Classic. It's worth noting that the STC was on 12 March, so he's as good as last year but a month earlier.
On the minus side the meet had swirlling winds with a lot of headwinds as in the W100 above. The DT was throwing in the direction of the 100m finish line but it's hard to tell what the wind was doing when he threw.
I can't even look at his series to get an idea if his best was a windy outlier or if he was consistent because AA has decided that I can just fuck off completely with my childish desire to see the series for field events.
Shame they didn't reverse some of the sprints but it would have been a bit of a lottery.
The wind went from -2.4 for W100 to +1.3 for the M100 5 minutes later. Lotter is right. I personally prefer to see athletes perform well into a headwind rath than have Naa Anang 11.05 with +2.4 and have that hanging over her head in every commentary afterwards.

Dunno if it's just the AA results hub but I was looking at the Athletics SA site for results.
