Sam is not listed on the 100m start lists for USATF Championships this weekend.

16 year old Linda Botkova of the Czech Republic set a Euro Under 18 record in the women's 400m hurdles with a time of 55.19. The previous record had stood for 43 years. Also her time is the 2nd fastest ever for a U18 woman, and she still has another year of U18 eligibility. Czechia did very...

Another noteworthy performance from the European U18 Championships came from British high jumper, Samuel James. He won the competition with a jump of 2.25m. That is a Championship Record and makes him the U18 World Leader. It is also the highest jump Euro U18 jump in 12 years, and puts him 13th...

15 year old Carolina didn't medal in the 100m, but she did take silver in the 200m, finishing in 23.58 to Spain's Mariona Armero, 23.57. Fantastic performance for the youngster.

Here's the race:

Heggarty was DQ'd in his semi-final in which he eased up significantly down the home stretch and still ran 20.72, which would have been another Championship Record. But in his absence, another Brit, Bronson Hearn-Smith, won the final easily in a Championship Record of 20.70! Bronson is just 16...

Also Karsten Warholm ran a World Leading time of 46.61! That's a great time, and I'm happy to see Warholm getting back to his old form. He's been running 2nd to some other guys this season, and I thought maybe age had slowed him down. But this proves otherwise.

A few days ago in Bulgaria, Bozhidar Srarboyukov jumped to a new PB and NR of 8.49m. That also makes him the 3rd longest jumper in the world this year, after Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece (8.61m), and Simon Ehammer of Switzerland (8.51m).

Ethan Heggarty of Great Britain set a new Championship Record in the heats of the 200m at the Euro U18 Championships. He ran 20.77 while coasting to victory in his heat.

One girl of note from the 100m heats today at the Euro U18 Championships, is Carolina-Andreea Punga of Romania. She had the 4th fastest qualifying time, 11.51 (0.6w). It may not seem like an exceptional time, but she is only 15 years old!! She has a PB of 11.36 from 2 weeks ago. One to keep an...

ARGENTINA!!!

I hope Argentina can beat England. Frankly, Argentina hasn't looked that good...just squeaking by in every game. They really need to raise their level. But England hasn't looked that good either, so we'll see.

His father looks like he's Kazak or Mongolian, but Lee is a Chinese or Korean surname generally.

Yassine Hssine of Morocco won the 200m in Budapest with a NR of 19.92. Kennedy was 6th in 20.44. Also, Sam Blaskowski was 6th in the 100m in 10.12.

Wyatt Lee of Canada won the Ontario Championships this weekend with a time of 10.22 (1.6w)
