"Clean" Russian pole vaulter SIdorova jumped a world leading 4.87 in Moscow yesterday.

[Occasional Hope]

That's really impressive.

Maria Vicente jumped 6.80 today, looks like she could still make it to Munich

Good 10,000m running earlier today in Abashiri (JPN) at Round 4 of the super Hokuren Distance Challenge series.

Women's
1 Pauline Kamulu (KEN) 30:20.97 (a 21s PB)
2 Ai Hosoda 31:35.44 (a 4s PB)
3 Rika Kaseda 31:41.29 (this 23yo was just 1.4s outside her PB)
Other notable athletes ...
5 Sayaka Sato 32:15.82
9 Honami Maeda 32:35.84

Men's
1 Gideon Ronoh 27:11.03 PB (debut at 10,000 for this 19yo; has a 13:16 PB at 5000)
2 James Muoki 27:29.74 (just 1.2s outside his PB)
3 Charles Karanja Kamau 27:30.44 (a 15s PB)
...
The fastest Japanese man on the night was Shunya Kikuchi, 27:57.95 (a 4s PB), with a further 7 going sub-28:10. Still fair to say that Japanese men's 10,000 running hasn't really taken off yet this year!

A fair reservation.

Yes and it was at Chulà vista.

Australia's Brooke Buschkuehl (formerly Stratton) has just soared to a WL (and PB) 7.13. (Tara Davis of the US, who won't be in Eugene, won with a windy 7.24.)

Sifan Hassan made her season debut last night. She ran 15.13.41 against very low key competition, mostly a solo run, tbh might as well have been a solo time trial. Not sure what that really tells us.

Tomorrow I will post the thread for the Oregon22 World Champs Prediction Contest.

I'm currently trying to compile a list of all the athletes who've been entered as reserves. Would it really be so hard for WA to denote who's a reserve on the entry lists?

Josh Kerr ran a 1.46.59 over 800 in Seattle on Wednesday.

I’ve thought Arop could be a factor in previous years, but it never materialised, so let’s see. It could make for a very interesting final with Burgin and Arop preferring that front running still (if they both make it through unscathed)

The Ethiopian Federation are now allowing some athletes to double. Here's the finalised team - https://twitter.com/buzi2011/status/1544358521524948992

Mena won't be at worlds this year anyway, he is changing allegiance from Cuba to Portugal, and will have to serve out the waiting period.

[Occasional Hope]

He'll definitely be a contender in Eugene.
