Complete Olympic Trials Schedule

Before I do the schedule, I have a few good marks to report!!

In the Hengelo meet, the Ethiopians held their Olympic Trials for the 10000 meters!
And Almaz Ayana--in her first ever track 10K---ran 30:07.00 to easily defeat Tirunesh Dibaba in her return to track racing, after a long lay-off!!
She makes TWO of my Combined Events lists!
She's now 4th on the 3000-5000-10000 list!
Her times of 8:22.22, 14:12.59, and the 30:07.00 add to 52:41.81.
She's 3rd on the 5000-10000 list, with her 14:12.59 and 30:07.00 adding to 44:19.59!

Geleta Burka nipped the legendary Tirunesh, 30:28.47 to 30:28.53.
That was a 20 second PR for Burka!
Netsanet Gudeta ran 30:36.75 in 4th, with Genet Yalew 5th in 30:37.38
Sebere Teferi followed in 30:40.59.
Three others ran in the 30:50's.

The Men's race saw three under 27:00.
Yegrem Demelash took the win in 26:51.11
Then came Tamirat Tola in 26:57.45, followed closely behind by Abadi Embaye's 26:57.88.
The latter is said to be just 17, born the usual African date of January 1st, but in 1999.
If the YEAR is correct, then he definitely gets my Age "0-17" record, becoming the first of that age to break 27!!
I'm NOT entering that as the record---yet!---until I can verify his age!
BTW, Ken Bekele DNF'ed around the 6000 meters point!

Thomas Kohler exploded out to 299-6 (91.28) in the Javelin Throw!
He moves from 15th A-T World to 10th, tied with 1 other!

Jan Kudlicki PV'ed 19-1.50 for the Czech Republic National Record!
And Michelle Lee Ahye's 22.33 in the 200 is the National Record of Trinidad & Tobago!
She also ran 10.94 in her 100 heat, then won the final with 11.00!
