On World Athletics, European Athletics results etc, AR means Area Record. On American websites AR is often used instead of NR to denote an American Record. Often the American Record is also the Area Record, as it in Nilsen's case (Kendricks has, of course, gone higher outdoors). Jeff Hartwig also jumped 6.02 indoors but it was never ratified (dunno why).

I'd describe it more as after a break up, they are giving things another go for a trial period. A 1 year deal with events on Red Button/Website only - not great overall visibility for the sport & doesn't really feel like it's going to put the sport on a better financial footing long term. Would be interesting to know what the Financial terms are for this.
Also the World Indoor Tour & Diamond League will obviously be the World Athletics feed but I also wonder what the production will be like for the domestic championships. Better than the Youtube effort for the Olympic trials last year one hopes.

WL for Ewa Swoboda of 7.00 in Lodz.Comment

The USA have a new guy in the 800, the moustachioed Shane Streich. He looks well capable of contending for US teams.
Last weekend at the Dr Sander meeting in NY he ran 1:46.07 and then this weekend he broke Bryce Hoppel's NR in the 1000 with 2:16.16 at the Eastern Indoors meeting in Kentucky. Ireland's Luke McCann broke Marcus O'Sullivan's NR in that race with 2:17.40.
Nice to see a strong run for Lore Hoffman (SUI) on Saturday, winning in Metz with 2:01.25. Femke Bol improved her own 400m Meeting Record there with a 50.72 WL. As usual Lieke Klaver (in a different section final) went out crazy quick (23.67 at 200) and again got hit badly by the lactic sniper, running 52.49. I have no idea why she doesn't try going out in something like 24.5 instead. Femke Bol hit halfway in 24.33.
In Dortmund 7 men got under the World Indoor standard (3:39.00) in the 1500, including 3 Germans. Isaac Nader (POR) won in 3:36.64, just outside his iPB set in Sabadell a few days ago. George Mills ran a 3:38.96 iPB in 7th place.
In case anyone is unaware, World Athletics have a pretty good results service these days via https://worldathletics.org/competiti...endar-results?Comment

I think I remember an interview with her or her coach along the lines of “they’ve tried and this is her best strategy for overall times…”Comment
