Shame about her problems. I saw her as being a potential WR setter before she got derailed.

Are their any webcasts of the NZ action over...

[El Toro]

Yeah, I suppose the trade off would come down to individual events. The SPers aren't going to get any benefit from coming over but other events will need...

Pluim set the outdoor NR in 2015 at 4.55 and the indoor at 4.50 six month later in January 2016. Since then, she seems to have competed every year but...

Some very encouraging performances there.

Scheen is a name that hadn't entered my conciousness, so I had to look her up. It is interesting...

[El Toro]

So 6.55 +0.1 is definitely an improvement, then.

If we look at the world indoor alltime list, that time is =157th performer along with...

[El Toro]

Worth ~10.15 in still wind and 10.08 +1.5. So theoretically a better run than his PB of 10.08 +2.0 from 2019.

He hasn't run a lot of 60m...

Fastest time since her PB 2:00.81 at thw 2018 CWG. Note that that year she opened with a 2:07 and never ran faster than a 2:04 before dropping that PB....

True, athletes just compete at the highest level they can and take prize money at any age and will take sponsorship whenever it is available.

Yes, it's one of those "memes" that captures the excesses of drunken behaviour in a peculiarly Australian context, plus it rhymes. It's blackly...

Very nice! Sounds like step up from a Portsea training camp with Percy.

I suppose after a few IPAs it's down the beach for some penguin...

Not misfeasance - this is the sort of Tory incompetence that Poms adore and just love to vote for.

Anyway, the fish are happier because now...

Where's the report from Melbourne correspondent AS? Surely the old man didn't faint from the effort of walking from his car to the track for the first...

The BOM forecast for Wollongong seems reasonably hopefull with temperatures 16-23C and sunny with 0% chance of rain.

Winds southwesterly...

I think I found out about her when she died 20 years ago.

She's also been mentioned a few times on the board as far back as 2003 (which women...

Not to mention an OG bronze in HJ, oh, and Euro bronze in 80H. She was nothing if not versatile in sport and in life.

Related to French literary...

I thought I'd provide a short update about Canberra's Keely Small who was on fire a couple of years ago, running a 2:01.46 in 2017 at age 15 and then...

Looking at the international scene, Kennedy's 4.75 places her =26th on the all-time outdoor and =236th all-time performance. If she clears a new NR of...

Nina Kennedy jumped 4.70 for the first time in 2018 when she cleared 4.71 in Perth. She also had 3 x 4.60 clearances as her next best competitions, all...

Worth 10.16 in still conditions and 10.06 +2.0, so basically he opened up with a probable PB (10.08 +2.0) equivalent run. Barring COVID interruptions,...
