Kamloops sees Kotelko add 6 notches to her world record belt

Olga’s new book is out, too!

They held a little meet in Kamloops over the weekend. A little lady named Olga Kotelko showed up. The result? BOOM! SIX more world records. I don’t know if the Canadian records czar will ratify marks set at the two-day Centennial meet at Hillside Stadium. But it shows our 95-year-old friend hasn’t let fame go to her head. She’s still out their hammering. Here are results. As best I can tell, Olga beat or set [for the first time] listed W95 world records in the high jump, long jump, triple jump, hammer throw, javelin throw and throws pentathlon (beating the listed WR of 3989 by Gabre Gabric with an astounding total of 5338). She would have the 100-meter WR but for a 2.5mps aiding wind. (She ran 29.59. The listed best is 35.48.) So let’s see. Nine indoor WRs for Budapest plus six outdoors here. Adds up to? Dang, my calculator broke! Also check out Olga’s snazzy new website. Love the motto: “Giving up is never O.K.”

Here are Olga’s results from Kamloops:
