The Copernicus meeting, held in Torun, Poland, is one of my favorites. Great arena, fast track (used in Sopot WIC 2014), and tremendous fields for the five thousand Polish fans to see! They love their locals. I recall being there in 2019 with Marcin Lewandowski and Ewa Swoboda. The 2023 version was fantastic!
The two big performances were on the Women’s side. Guday Tsegay ran 4:16.16 all by her lonesome, running #2 all times at the indoor mile. Keely Hodgkinson ran a WL 1:57.87 for the 800, showing that her 600m just suggested her fitness.
Great pictures from the meeting, we will post on Sunday!
