Kanter 69.92m in round 4, but Alekna pulls it off in a spectacular way with 71.56m with the last throw of the competition. Roll on Osaka.

Conversion:

69.92m = 312 of my daughter's feet.
71.56m = 267 of my son's feet.

Something like that anyway. :lol:

[pherekydes]

Actually, I had the order wrong there. Kanter threw last, and managed 70.92m (112 of some basketballer's feet) to nearly pull it off.

Sorry for the sarcastic anti-imperial nonsense. I'm in the middle of reading "The Measure of all Things".

With todays competiton in Kaunas with 2 throws +70m, 2007 became the year with most +70m throws ever!

12 - 2007
11 - 1983
9 - 1984 and 2000
8 - 2006
7 - 1978
6 - 2005
5 - 1996
4 - 1976, 2002 and 2004

Possibility of Alenka and Kanter battling not only for the Gold, but for the WR (if conditions are ideal) in Osaka ?

It's very unlikely the WR will be beaten in a proper major stadium. Now, if they competed in Salinas or Salon-en-Provence, 74.08 might be in danger...

he may have got it if he'd gone to hawaii earlier this season

Actually, I had the order wrong there.

I heard Stuart Storey say during Monaco's webcast that the order during field event competitions changed after three rounds and then again after five rounds! When did this rule come in? Anybody else miss its introduction besides me? ops:

This is the second year of usage of that rule. I suspect you can be forgiven for not noticing before because it's my take that tehre are relativey few changes in order in rounds 4 and 5 anyway.

Does require one to stay on one's toes, however, in trying to follow an event!

Are you insinuating that I haven't been staying on my toes?








I haven't. ops:

If you promise not to tell anybody else..... while announcing the women's long jump final in Indy this year I turned to my spotter and said, "what the heck are they doing jumping out of order?"

See your ops: and raise you one! ops: ops:
