2026 Track Results

Kalen Walker is also running tomorrow in the Ed Murphey Classic. He has SB of 10.12. Hopefully, he is healthy and can hit a good one.
 
Just reminding the track guys that Sam Blaskowski races tommorow in the Diamond League over the 100 meters. He has raced way too
much but it's probably because you have to strike when the iron is hot. The kid is chasing endorsements and trying to show that he belongs
on the biggest stage. It's a gamble but I understand why he is doing it.

If he is not totally exhausted due to over racing I will predict he gets his second sub 10 tommorow. I'm gonna predict at time of 9.95

Finally the men and women of Russia will be allowed to participate in an Olympics again starting in 2028! I plan to be in L.A. if all goes well.

She has been having a very good year. I read that she is changing her nationality from Sweden to Finland. Will that affect whether she can compete in the European Championships?

Lindahl has dual nationality, Swedish and Finnish, she was born in Luxemburg and her father Markus is Finnish and mother Swedish and she chose to swap to represent Finland on international level. She will be eligible to represent Finland on international level from 31.12.2027 onwards.

Her father Markus Lindahl was a sprinter with PB’s of 10.55 and 21.12.

Nora focused on the 200m before and she improved her 100m record from 11.50 to 11.15 this season, a very talented girl, if she stays healthy and gets her block start better she has potential to go even faster.
 
High School sensation Natalie Dumas is also competing in this track meet (Ed Murphy) in the Women's 800m if she holds her nerve she will do well.
 
Sam managed a 10.06 for 7th. Kind of a pedestrian time for him at this point. I think he may have already peaked for this season.

Yeah it's just like with Boling. Too many races just about always equals crash & burn out. To be fair though a 10.06 with 0 wind in
his first Diamond League Race in Europe isn't the end of the world. Still better than Kennedy who ran 10.09 twice in the D.L.

Sam Blaskowski should take it as a learning & growing experience. To be honest I would have preferred that he get into a race in
Poland. They have one this Saturday and Sunday which is a huge meet. He should have tested the waters there first. No matter
what happens the rest of the summer he ran a sub 10 and a sub 20 wind legal. No one can take that away from him.
 
M. Tentoglou jumped a 8.61 with 0 wind for a new world lead. It was only slightly off his p.b. of 8.65! He is in the best form or his life. Today
he just dominated everyone as usual. He had two 8.49 jumps, 8.52 jump and an 8.61 in his 6 attempts. The 8.52 was into a -0.9 wind!
If he would have got some postitive wind today who knows what he could have done.

I've said it for the last 5 years or longer. He is capable of breaking the world record on the right day. Hoping he does. So fun to watch!

He has said in the Greek media repeatedly that this year or next he’s jumping 8.80 and that he has jumped over 8.80 in training a few times this year. We shall see ;)
 
Boling ran a 45.51 to be the 2nd highest qualifier at the Murphey meet today. Hoping Kalen can catch a flyer in the 100.
