I decided years ago when I was a official for UF Track and Field, while officiating the SEC indoor championships polw vault competition, that I would marry a pole vaulter. They were the hottest bunch in the place.
Alas, I failed in my quest, but I still quite enjoy the event for both the athletics and the aesthetics involved.
On to the 3k!
Yeah, I was just gonna mention that this meet has even more than the usual quota of stunning female pole vaulters and high jumpers.
She just set a PB too to win!
Is Flanagan there? Didnt see her name on the start lists there and my video just cut out
scratch the win bit I guess.
She is in the lead I think but Fabiana Murer is still not completely out.

Feofanova has cleared 4.48 already
Sorry 4,68
8:37 for Defar, 8:39 for Flanagan, I think. She never quite closed that gap enough to make it interesting, though Defar did take a couple glances behind her over the last 300m.
Shalane 2nd in ~8:39 to Defar's ~8:36.
Yeah, I need 4 replays of a Swedish High Jumper failing to clear the height
I appreciate the effort to look at all events happening, but it would've been nice to get an update on more than first place, who was the obvious pick for first place.
The German site I was watching on barely showed the 3000...they were showing Swedish vaulters, high jumpers, and triple jumpers instead.
Shal Flanagan 8.39.18 and 2nd
Shalane's 8:39.18 puts it as the 3rd fastest US performance ever indoors over 3000m.
According to alltime-athletics.com:
25 8:33.25 Shalane Flanagan USA 07.08.81 2 Boston 27.01.2007
49 8:39.14 Regina Jacobs USA 28.08.63 3 Maebashi 07.03.1999
and now Shalane's 8:39.18.
HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA "goodbye Mr Payne"
This hurdles race is stupid. 3 of 6 remain. Let's see if we can FS all but one and have him jog to a 14 second victory.
3rd false starts in mens 60 meter Hurdles. Down to 3 athletes now. Merrit and Payne out
wow, 3 false starts in the hurdles
Somehow Payne got to run. Lost to Giant Czech.
Why was Payne not DQed? Clearly they called a FS. And to me it looked like he did FS. Was that a mistake?
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
