@Marathon_N @marcroigtio They had two timing mats: one at the (original) finish line and another which they placed on the morning of the race at the stadium entrance. If they had removed the mat from the finish line... no time! It's a crazy situation, nevertheless. I've never seen anything like this

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@glblathletichub First it was Robinson with Pedro Afonso and then this... We missed a potential medal with these two situations, IMO...

🇺🇬 @jacobkiplimo2 has chosen Lisbon #HalfMarathon 🇵🇹 (8 March) to reclaim the world record. This has been confirmed by Portuguese media.

Jacob Kiplimo will lead elite field of @MeiaMaratonaLX #lisbonhalf next 8th March

@McKirdyTrained @WorldAthletics Hannah Biwott-van de Veen, Volare. If you search both names (his and his agent), you'll still be able to see him on the list

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@Lilot1TrackMind I can say that Portugal could easily have done it. There were athletes willing to run, willing to pay everything, but the Federation decided otherwise...

@LagatJustin Yes! Last year he was one of the pacers for the US ladies . This year, will try to run a fast marathon

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@d9monti @WATokyo25 It was really impressive. I'm not diminishing the incredible result she did, but it wasn't a solo effort. It was a mixed raced, she had help from men. However, it's mind-blowing to see a time like this just 20 days after Tokyo. Solo or not...

@TheRunnerMan17 Both will be running marathons in October. Can be the explanation for their absence, but the choose of words it's odd... to say the least.

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@TrackGazette She is faster than ever. It's crazy! Where do you find the W40 best times? I was looking for it and couldn't find it...

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

Desde finais de 2023 que sou responsável por uma página sobre atletismo (vo2maximopt no Instagram). Não tenho números certos, mas arrisco dizer que a Lorène foi a atleta de quem mais vezes escrevi. E acho que não vou ficar por aqui... Que exemplo!

[European Athletics @EuroAthletics]

22.71 for 200m at the age of 42! 🤯🔥

Lorene Bazolo 🇵🇹 runs the fastest ever 200m by a sprinter over the age of 40, breaking Merlene Ottey’s world V40 record by 0.01!

And Bazolo also clocked a marginally wind-aided 11.05 (+2.1) in the 100m! 🥵

@LagatJustin Original post about it: https://t.co/6io82FagDU

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@Marathon_N @ThorstenSteffe7 @bonilla_dirian @WestholmStaffan I got the video from the start and we can see clearly a few athletes that jump started. But if this become the norm... There will be a lot of DQ's. And, from the video, I can see that there was a little bit of pushing from the back...

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@LagatJustin The option 5 is missing: a photo of me suffering from 0m until 10km 😂😅

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@Marathon_N @lagosmarathon @WorldAthletics He was due to take part of the race, but in the end decided not to. His bib was used by someone else (maybe the organizers forgot to change the initial data before submit it to WA)

[Fábio Lima @FabiusLima1]

@bancadadeleao @CoutoGoncalo @LuisCoelho51 vou juntar-se à 'festa' e lançar o meu otimismo. Fernando Pimenta, Agate de Sousa e dois wildcards na Yolanda e no Vasco Vilaça :) Com jeitinho, juntando Pichardo e Gustavo - e por que não Iuri Leitão e Diogo Ribeiro... -, ainda tiramos mais de meia dúzia de medalhas.
