[Alan Shank]

Ykhov, BTW, had two misses at 2.28. Silnov had single misses at 2.31, .33 and .35, then took the lead by clearing 2.37 at "the first time of asking", as they say.

So....Krivoshapka 49.18 WL eh?

With two RUS women now at least as fast as Sanya in 2012, it looks like we have a relay contest...

Krivoshapka 49.16
Guschina 49.28
Firova 49.82
Nazarova 50.07
Kapachinskaya 50.37

a possible USA 4 x 400 to counter that

demus
mcrory
felix
richards

should be a great race, i pick USA

I doubt Demus makes the team....
McCorory - Felix - Trotter - Richards

The only reason I think the Russians have a shot is because of this ludicrous 4x400, 4x100, 100, 200 quadruple that Felix is doing. Also Richards-Ross 200, 400, 4x400 attempt is also a concern (and heaven forbid she pops up on the 4x100 as well).

Three done 2.35

I'm blanking and my cyrillic is a tad rusty. Was the third one Shustov? Best HJ coverage I've ever seen.

I always mix up Silnov and Shustov but found a way to keep them straight. Silnov looks like Putin. Shustov always ksses his hands (what is up with that?). HJpers are so quirky.

Thank God Ukhov looks completely different (and is very cute!).

I know Silnov coz he looks like a cartoon giraffe, the others i haven't got a clue, same with RUS w400 or 800m runners i can recognise about 3 of them

I just love it when dopers come back after being suspended and run/throw even further than before.

Well clearly she isn't the only doper that has return that as run/throw further - that's a fact
I love how you post this and it will be quite haunting for the rest of the year & future

[nevetsllim]

Not sure. She's run a few 100m races this season so perhaps she might go in the 200m where the standard won't be as strong?

And indeed, she's on the start-lists for the 200m heats.

[nevetsllim]

Rusakova 22.42, Fedoriva 22.43 - and this is just the heats.

u talking to yourself again?

[Powell]

Kostetskaya took the final in 3:59.28 Didn't see this one coming at all. Remember her initial international success came as a 400 hurdles specialist.

[nevetsllim]

1500m - Kostetskaya 3:59.28, Martynova 3:59.49, Tomashova 3:59.71.

[Jon]

Fedoriva takes the 200m final in 22.21 - fastest time by a European since Gevaert's 22.20 in 2006.

[Powell]

22.19 officially

[LopenUupunut]

Fedoriva takes the 200m final in 22.21 - fastest time by a European since Gevaert's 22.20 in 2006.

And fastest by a Russian since Malchugina's 22.18 in 1996!

Interestingly, Malchugina's daughter was a well-beaten 5th in this race...

[Jon]

Wow, in that case it's the fastest European time since Block's 22.17 in 1997!

Btw, do you have a link to live results?

http://www.inf-online.ru/ch12/start.htm is nearly live (it already has the w200)

Yup... Seems like those 400's payed off... I wonder if they'll put her on the 4x400... and more importantly... can she carry this over to the Olympics?

Russian results in english

[Athletics]

Crazy good results from Russia (even many of them can't probably be replicated at the Olympics). Still, can't wait for the olympics, since the world list results are getting really good this year.

[MissThickBooty]

LMAO I love the Russian National meets. what a freaking JOKE!!! Dead at 4 random Russian runners who haven't posted top 20 times all year and out of no where they run 4 of the 5 fastest times in the world????? I always have a good laugh at the Russian Nationals.

Then to think it couldn't get any worse, some random chick runs 22.19 in the 200m????
Yes I live for this COMEDY!!!!

Very surprising 200m results but Fedoriva is maybe for you some random chick.

<<Project 20? After seeing the Russian Championships results and watching some of what's going in Paris, I'm beginning to think our medal count in London may be closer to 20 than 30.>>
