One-lap wonders: WRs to Del Grande, Mazzenga and Kotelko

I’ve lost count of the world records at Budapest worlds, with Canada’s Olga Kotelko and Karla Del Grande and Italy’s Emma Mazzenga setting new standards in the 200s Friday. (An earlier posting incorrectly said Guido Müller set a WR, too. Oops, my bad. Bob Lida’s record of 27.64 is still best.) But I can’t overlook top performers with cameras. Besides Robert Jerome, whose shots have been featured here, Tom Phillips has been tweeting jaw-dopping images, and Doug “Shaggy” Smith has been posting photos to Facebook. Tom is UK-focused and Doug Canada-centric. But they also feature stars from other countries. Tom’s shots also colorize Athletics Weekly’s coverage of worlds. Oh, and the latest stunning WRs in the deuce? Emma’s 39.52 at 80 (lowering her own WR); Karla’s 28.23 at 60 (off her own outdoor WR of 28.11) and Olga’s 74.14 at 95 (the oldest indoor deuce in history and faster than the listed W95 outdoor WR of 79.96 by Japan’s Katsuko Iwaki). Guido ran 27.99, but that’s three-tenths off Bob’s indoor best. Also congrats to Americans Jeanne Daprano, who defended her W75 title from 2012 Jyväskylä worlds; Charles Allie, whose 25.44 just missed his own M65 WR from a year ago; Bill Collins, the oldest man in the M60 field at 63 and whose 24.70 was close to his own WR of 24.32; and Joy Upshaw, who at 53 won gold in 26.73 (her own WR is 26.24).

Tom Phillips caught Guido at start of WR 200 — only because Tom just missed making the M55 final.

Tom Phillips caught Guido at start of 200 — only because Tom missed making the M55 final by five-thousandths of a second with his 26.908.

    Yes, yes, I know. No coverage of jumps, throws and distances. Would someone please review finals and send me news of any world or American records?

    The results site is a pain to navigate:

    Spending my morning looking thru Tom’s “picture book”
    what fun, so many great athletes, and such fierce competition.
    Thanks for providing the excitement! And Ken, for posting all the links.
    Really wish, we were there.
    Oh well, I am going to work out, it’s about 50 F, a heat wave for us.

  3. Anthony Treacher - March 29, 2014

    Mmmm… It will take a bit of training to beat that there Guido bloke.

  4. Mike May - March 29, 2014

    The website seemed to settle down on Thursday so we knew results of m35 200 heats before the athletes, but it’s stalled again with no semi results for 400 after w65s

    Thanks for all this info! And to Tom Philips for his incredible photos – they simply couldn’t be better!

    Ken, all of the posted results are in the rankings as of yesterday (and should be up-to-date tonight with today’s). You can click on a US flag to filter only the US results. These links provide the filtered results: http://mastersathletics.co/meetresults.php?season=Indoor&year=2014&meetno=353&country=USA

    Hope this helps.

    John, you are definitely “the man.” I wish I could be half as smart and just 25% as industrious as you are; I could get a lot done.

    Yes, Emma Mazzenga ran a stunning 39.52 sec in the W80 200 dash for an apparent world mark, but let us not forget our own Irene Obera. At Boston in March, Irene ran an unthinkable 36.53 at nationals, and I fully expect that time to be ratified as the new W80 indoor standard.

  10. Ken Stone - April 7, 2014

    Thanks for the reminder, Peter!

    I showcased Irene’s 36.53 here:

    I need a memory transplant.
