    Another stunning performance by 16 year old Jana Koscak, Euro u18 champion last summer. World u18 record of 4585 in her second pentathlon of the month. She's still only 16. 8.46 hurdles, 1.90 HJ, 6.17 LJ, 15.11 shot.

    Jana Koščak set a world record for younger juniors in pentathlon! – 7Plus (regionalni.com) Jana Koščak srušila svjetski rekord u petoboju do 18 godina | 24sata​​

      She's incredible.... but a word of caution... Alina Shukh. Amazing heptathlete as a junior. Has now dropped the Hep to focus on javelin and hasn't made much progress at it.

      Koscak is a definite talent though.

      It's always interesting to see who progresses from the junior ranks and who doesn't.

    Day 1 over at the NCAA Div I Indoor Championships in New Mexico saw some outstanding performances, and included in them was Norwegian Sondre Guttormsen, just 5 days after winning EIC gold in Istanbul, equalling KC Lightfoot's collegiate pole vault record with a 2nd time clearance over 6 meters. That smashed the outright NR he had shared with Pal Haugen Lillifosse by 14cms, added 9cm to Sam Kendricks facility record and also beat the meeting record too.

    The 23 year old now becomes the 23rd man in modern athletics history to jump 6m or better in the pole vault.

      Yes, I spotted that. Younger brother Simen is a big PV talent too.

    Kyle Garland made a statement today as he recorded the 2nd highest indoor heptathlon score in history. His 6639 total is just 5 points off Ashton Eaton's WR, set by the great American as he won gold at the 2012 World Indoor Championships. Garland did smash Eaton's collegiate and meeting records, set in 2010, by well over 150 points though, and also trounced the facility record of Gunnar Nixon in 2013 by over 400 points.

      49.48 for Britton Wilson in the NCAA final, almost a full second faster than second placed Talitha Diggs.

        Jasmine Moore, having jumped 7.03m to win the long jump yesterday at the NCAA Div I Championships, has now leaped out to 15.08m in the triple jump! In doing so, the 21 year old American not only demolished her own PB (14.57m, Mar 2022) as well as Tori Franklin's US national record of 14.64m (Feb 2020), she becomes just the 2nd woman ever to jump beyond 7m in the LJ and 15m in the TJ indoors, after former TJ world record holder Yolanda Chen achieved the feat in 1995. (Chen long jumped 7.05m back in 1989, then triple jumped her WR of 15.03m - becoming the first woman beyond the 15 metre barrier - on her way to winning the 1995 World Indoor title in Barcelona.)

        Moore's 15.08m is also the first jump beyond 15 metres performed by someone other than Yulimar Rojas, in 13 years, since Olga Rypakova did so at the 2010 WIC to win gold.


        (As I was typing this comment, Moore improved again to 15.12m in the final round! She moves up into 5th on the world indoor all time list as a result!)

        Stunner of a run from Wilson.

        Plenty of shade thrown Bol's way on Twitter and various forums after her WR run, but perhaps people will soon catch up with the fact technological advancements are pushing the sport to new heights. Get your head used to seeing faster, higher and stronger folks!

          I also feel this benefits quite a lot from what I think of as 'altitude doping'. Fundamentally, being that high up on that good a track really really helps.

          As MysteryBrick points out, this is at altitude. So although some of these performances are amazing, it has been with the benefit of thinner air.
      • #67
        Wilson's splits were similar to Bol's, whereas Adeleke was half a second faster over 200, but 1.5 seconds slower on the second lap. Its not bad after 5 months training for the 400, but work to do on her pace judgement and strength, as you'd expect.

          It was obviously coming based on what had already happened so far, but 3:21.75 for Arkansas in the W4x400m is comfortably the fastest indoor 4x400m ever run, and only not a World Record because Amber Anning ran (and excellent 51.47) on leg 1. Insane.

            Not just Amber apparently. All the 4x4 Arkansas athletes from different countries including Nigeria, Jamaica and USA.

          I am betting it will be a struggle for some of the NCAA outrageous performances to be replicated in 3 months time and the next sea level efforts. Shoes, track, altitude helped. Let's hope the talent on display is clean.!!

            I think altitude is having a HUGE impact here.
        • #70
          The snide accusations about Bol came from America cos the new 400m holder was not a USA athlete. Who expected any difference . They never change.

              Jaydon Hibbert sets a new WJ record of 17.54m in the TJ. He only took one jump, and is still a junior in 2024. That's outrageous.

                Just to add, that was off a shortened 12 step run up. He's 5'9", staying healthy in this brutal event will determine if he breaks Edwards record.

                18.29m is a long way further than 17.54m. Let's see him back up outdoors with some 17.30m+ jumps first.

              Another very fine performance came from Julien Alfred doing the sprint double, 6.94 and 22.01 within an hour.

                So many outrageous PBs does suggest that the altitude is having an enormous impact. Which doesn’t matter in the context of the competition itself as they all have the same conditions, but some of these performances are going to be real outliers for athletes as the season goes on I feel.

                  I just can't with NCAA performaces especially indoors at 5000 feet.

                  As always i'll wait till these athletes repeat on the international stage before i get excited

                    Please remind me - do marks in sprints and horizontal jumps qualify as world etc records or qualifying marks if altitude aided? I have a dim recollection that marks of over 1000m such as here are invalid.

                    Altitude marks still count....they just have an A listed next to them. Remember all those marks set at Mexico Olympics that lasted for decades, Pietro Mennea still holds the European record also set at Mexico City. Personally I think they should be treated as per wind assisted marks, anything above a certain level gets marked a and is invalid for record/qualifying purposes
