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)

Other notable marks from this meet: Marc Leonard Hildebrand ran 13.22 in the high hurdles, and Emma Goretzka won the women's 100m in 11.19.

Jakob Keminner ran 10.14 at the German U20 Championships, which tied the U20 German record.

Trent Taylor has retired.

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?

I just read the Erling Haaland holds the World Best for 5 year olds in the standing long. As a 5 year old, he jumped 5 feet 4 inches from a standing position - amazing!! As an adult he has officially been clocked at a speed of 22.9mph, which is as fast as the NFL's fastest players. Plus he's...

Norway is playing England. Belgium will play Spain.

Moroccan Yassine Hssine ran 10.01 and 19.97 over the weekend.

I was a little surprised at Blaskowski's time in the 200m. I guess because he is relatively short and stout, I didn't expect him to run so well at the longer distance. I felt the same way about Lachlan Kennedy. Interesting that these 2 guys both have stout builds, whereas the last time we...

Miller Warme is a name I hadn't heard before. He is a junior out of the Seattle area, and he finished 2nd (by just .08) in the 400m Hurdles at the USA U20 Championships this weekend. His time was a fantastic 49.28, which broke the previous high school record, but as mentioned, he came in 2nd...

A new name to note in the Long Jump. Stephen MacKenzie of Scotland, won the event at the UK Championships, with a jump of 8.15 meters. That's a new Scottish record and puts him in the Top 10 in Europe.
