This article is a fun thing to read. A nice reminder that there is a rising generation of discus talent that could potentially be the best of all time.

I don't really know if Allman is the outright favorite, but I think she must be. I don't expect Feng to repeat her performance from last year, which was sort of a fluke PR. But you never know - Allman could be off and someone else could have their big day.

On the men's side, I'm hoping for a wild contest between Ceh, Alekna, and Stahl. It's kinda wild to think about how young Ceh & Alekna are and that they're already near the top of an event where people usually peak around 30. Wouldn't surprise me if the men's WR went down by 2028.

Not a lot of interesting track and field performances at the FISU World University Games as far as I can see. Men's 400m had a tie for 1st place and a meet record, which is kind of cool I guess.

I was hoping to see more stuff, but none of the performances seem too exciting. Not much in the way of big throws either :/

Anyone know of anything else interesting there?

(ETA: Don't really want to talk about the Somali 100m runner.)
