IAAF World Championship (Indoor)

[Antaeus7]

Emmanouilidou and Tsoukala starts off tomorrow morning (tonight local time in the U.S.) in the women's 60 meters. Emmanoulidiou is in Heat 1 while Tsoukala is in Heat 5. First three goes to the semifinals automatically with the fastest 6 times (non-automatics). The ideal time to go to the semifinals is 7.24 or under. Karalis is going 7th in the order in the men's pole vault, I do expect him to skip the early heights and go straight to 5.60 or 5.70, hoping he won't have to do many jumps early on.

For the first time, Emmanouilidou qualified for the semifinals at the World Indoor Championship. Her time was 7.26 (20th place overall), one of the six fastest time for non-automatic qualifiers. Tsoukala was not so lucky, finished at 7.46 (36th place overall)

Karalis with another new NR at 6.05 and remains perfect with Duplantis! What a battle!

Emmanouilidou did not qualify for the finals, finished at 7.33. A personal best would have gotten the job done. Last person to get in was 7.17 from a Chinese sprinter.

Despite a great performance from Karalis, he settles for silver. Duplantis is so difficult to beat him. He proves why he is the GOAT.

Great performance by Manolo breaking the national record again with 6.05. Too bad he has Duplantis to compete against. I expect him to jump 6.10 during the outdoor season.

For the first time at the World Indoor Championship since 2018, Tentoglou will walk away without a medal, finished 5th place with a season's best at 8.14. He looks off after he recovered from the flu. This better not be a sign of bad things to come. 

Iosifidou finished 34th place overall at 8.28, funny thing is all 6 of the hurdlers in her heat all qualified for the semifinals.
