Beers & Burgers: Harvey's To Go | SaltWire #harveys #burger #beer #foodbloggerMELBOURNE - Australian athletics hailed the prospect of another Olympic medal contender after long jumper Chris Mitrevski smashed his personal best at national championships over the weekend.
"I didn’t know what an 8.30 jump felt like because I’ve never done it before, but it felt better than anything I’ve ever done. I just had so much time in the air," said Mitrevski, whose previous best was 8.21m. Australia took a women's high jump silver and bronze medals in the women's javelin and men's decathlon at the Tokyo Olympics but the nation is aiming higher at Paris after last year's successful world championships in Budapest.Former high jump world champion Eleanor Patterson and Nicola Olyslagers, who took high jump bronze at Budapest, joined Mitrevski in the first 14 picks, along with world silver medal-winning race-walker Jemima Montag.
Bol placed second in the 800m at the nationals behind 20-year-old Luke Boyes, who finished just outside the Olympic qualifying time and was not included.
