Wednesday to Saturday
- Troféu Brasil de Atletismo (Rio de Janeiro, BRA) - Brazilian Club Championships; No startlists yet but this is usually pretty loaded domestically and includes a full programme of disciplines
- Hokuren Distance Challenge 20th Anniversary Tournament (Fukagawa, JPN) - This is the precursor to the super Hokuren Distance Challenge series that starts on 2nd July; All the races here (except the W 5000) are being paced for Eugene standards. The fields are small but decent. In the Women's 10,000 Kaede Hagitani is aiming for sub-31:25 after running 31:35 on her debut when finishing 2nd at the Japanese Championships; In the Men's equivalent, no Japanese man has the Eugene standard yet but there's at least half a dozen here who'll likely be having a go; In the Women's 1000 Nozomi Tanaka is attacking her own NR, 2:37.72
- Orimattila Star Games (Orimattila, FIN) - International Women's TJ & Men's Javelin meeting; There's a good top 3 or 4 in both events including Anderson Peters and Thea Lafond
- Brněnská laťka Olympia 2022 (Brno, CZE) - International Women's High Jump meeting; Very good field here with all the best Ukrainians (incl Mahuchikh), Vukovic, Junnila, Sadullayeva & Trost
Next major post tomorrow (Wednesday) evening for the rest of the week's action - I am away from Thursday for a long weekend.
