🤯 INCREDIBLE! 🤯 This 17-year-old Aussie prodigy just produced an AMAZING run in Europe ... and could now be destined for the Paris Olympics. 👇 9WWOS DiamondLeague
Ingebrigsten of Norway stopped the clock at 3:27.14 as he stormed to a European record, beating second place by 1.97 seconds as a long trail of runners, including Myers, notched brilliant times of their own.
Oliver Hoare, Stewart McSweyn, Matthew Ramsden and training buddy Jye Edwards are among the star runners Myers is up against as he pushes for Paris 2024 selection. "The first lap was strung out. I was right at the back, but I felt good on the second and third laps and moved up just a bit. The last lap is really tough always, but I finished OK.""It was great to get qualifiers, in particular for Paris next year," said Myers, who's in year 11 at Canberra's Lake Ginninderra College.
While Olyslagers didn't reach the height of her personal best, 2.02 metres, she now shares the Silesia Diamond League meet record with the two Ukrainians, and achieved the Olympic entry standard. She's already earned selection for the world championships.
