2022 Outdoors

[Occasional Hope]

Yes, he's really adapting well.

[jjimbojames]

He’s taking chunks off his time as the season goes and he gets more races over the new height.

Sasha Zhoya wins the French champs in 13.17(-0.5).

Yes the Euros were Zelezny's nemesis. He kept throwing until 2006 in an attempt to win one.

[Occasional Hope]

Seems like a bit of a nonsequitur...

[Occasional Hope]

Didn't Steve always beat him in Euro Champs years?

Let's hear it for Yohan Blake.A great win in the Jamacan trials, with Oblique Sevill just behind. The 800m at the WC is going to be enormous.

The closest British equivalent I can think of Steve Backley whose medal collection would have been considerably shinier if it wasn't for Zan Zelezny. However, there was a year or 2 early on when he had the upper hand and Zelezny being about 3 years older did give Backley a forlorn hope that he might eventually be the man.

Commonwealth champion Wycliffe Kinyamal won the Kenyan trials with 1.43.54. Wanyonyi second.

[MysteryBrick]

1:57.20 indoors from Keely too.

Hodgkinson must *hate* being around in the era of Mu... she is by far and away World number 2, but Mu is terrifying.

[MBChristie]

Amazing heat time, Only herself and Moraa (winning the Kenyan trail 1:57.45 from Kipyegon 1:58.45) have run faster this year

[Occasional Hope]

Waiting for the final

[RunUnlimited]

I can't believe folks aren't mentioning Athing Mu's 800m semi final win, where she ran 1:57.55 and dragged a bunch of others into setting substantial PBs too, like Sage Hurta who was 2nd in 1:58.30, and Olivia Baker, 3rd in 1:58.46, both of them going sub 1:59 for the first time and taking more than a second off their prior PBs.

[Occasional Hope]

You would think that a drugs related ban in between would negate that, but no.
