Rolf leads the 1500 Sunday during M70 dec WR.
Last time I saw
Rolf Geese he was making mincemeat of the M65 world record in the decathlon. That was at 2009 Lahti worlds. Now he’s back in M70, doing the same. According to
these results from a
Stendal meet, Rolf scored 7943 points to crush the listed world record of 7678 by American
Phil Shipp in 2005. Rolf ran the 100 in 13.72 (+1.6 wind), long jumped 4.20 (13-9 1/4), put the shot 11.59 (38-0 1/4), high jumped 1.33 (4-4 1/4) and burned a 400 in 67.07. Day 2: 80 hurdles in 14.47 (+1.2), discus 33.35 (109-5), pole vault 2.90 (9-6), javelin 32.72 (107-4) and 1500 in 6:22.10. Meet official
Sandra Beiersdorff wrote me: “We had best conditions on day one (sunshine, almost no wind). Second day was very hot and [became] more and more windy in the evening. The men had to work hard to jump the pole vault from time to time.” She also sent a photo of All-Universe
Phil Raschker, who donated some spikes and shirts. She doesn’t appear in the results, but looks in good shape at 69.

Just noticed that the June 2 Diamond League meet in Rome has five masters events — 4×100, men’s and women’s 100 and men’s and women’s 800:

Wish they had done this at Eugene Diamond League (the Pre meet).
All masters at Rome DL are Italians.
HAPPY TO HAVE SEEN PHIL IN A PHOTO ; SHE STILL LOOKS GREAT AT 69!
