Had this idea for a thread a couple of days ago & trickstat gave me the title. A thread dedicated to news items or marks of about young athletes starting out who are children of famous athletes from <ahem> years some of us remember rather better than last week. There’s quite a few about.
Larissa Iapchino, daughter of Fiona May - sadly injured recently so won’t be taking up her earned place for ITA in the long jump at Tokyo.
Mykolas son of Virgilius, going to European & World U20s with a new discus U20NR of 69.77
Eilish daughter of Liz McColgan, NR in the 5000m at Oslo last night.
That sort of thing,
There’s a few more active I can think of
Dvorakova sisters, daughters of Tomas Dvorak, both young heptathletes for CZE
Erki Nool’s son.
Any more?
