Geraldine will throw jav at Daegu worlds, too.
W50 multi-eventer
Geraldine Finnegan of Ireland, a 2013 hep champion at Porto Alegre, is returning to indoor worlds in March for the first time since 2010 Kamloops. She’s promising herself not to buy any over-the-counter drugs in Daegu. The last time she did, at the British Columbia meet, she netted a
two-month doping sanction for having ephedrine in her system.
I wrote about it back in 2010. She’s entered in seven events at indoor worlds — 400, 60 hurdles, high jump, pole vault, triple jump, javelin throw and pentathlon. (Whew! I like to say.) She had to give up two medals at Kamloops, but could win many more in Daegu. The meet list of entries is slim in many events. And I note, so far, the oldest age group is 90–94, with just two entrants —
James Sinclair of Australia and
Suet-Ling Cheung of Hong Kong. (Usually, we have folks in their late 90s at worlds.) But it’s a long way for Americans and Europeans to travel. The craziest entry is
Gudman Chala of Ecuador, whose M35 high jump mark is “180.00m” (or 590-6). Guess he meant 1.80 (5-10 3/4).

Back then plenty of us could have made that mistake.
