Vasilikí Delinikóla, Linda Züblin, Yvonne Wisse, Aryiró Stratáki, Jessica Samuelsson, Olga Kurban, Ida Marcussen, Karolina Tyminska (I suppose… ) preceding for some centemeters Sonja Kesselschläger, Irina Naumenko and Nataliya Dobrynska.

It would be nice to have them all! OK, I’ll search some other photo

Same order: Marie Collonvillé, Simone Oberer, Aiga Grabuste, Linda Züblin, Carolina Klüft, Jessica Ennis, Sylvie Dufour, Lyudmila Blonska and Kelly Sotherton

I was interested in Jet Lag symptoms and remedies, thinking about Osaka World Athletics Champioships, and I found this interesting article by Thomas Reilly, speaking about symptoms, circadian desynchronization and reduction of jet lag. Here the most interesting extracts of the article:

• First of all: it takes 24 hours for each time zone you are passing, in order to completely recover your biorhythms.
• 2-3 days after the desembarkation are worse then the immediate day after, then gradually, it will go better and better. Even in these difficult days, there is a better day period to train, (usually from Europe to East is during the morning).
• Eastward travels are much worse than Westward ones! (Osaka case :-))
• Don’t try to get used to the new time when you are still at home (wake up in the night and go to bed at strange times)
• Sleeping time is not the only thing you have to pay attention to; light time and social time factors are also important.

In these days I’m looking for some news about athletes taking part to Osaka World Champioships. It looks like on the official website they are a little bit late.. you can not find some events preview or some athletes list… ok, we will wait!

In the meanwhile, I’m preparing my next competitions, the last two decathlon of my strange season. I’m waiting for some answer from an important Decathlon Meeting… guess wich one .. if I will not be there, I’ll take part to the Italian Decathlon Club Champioships, trying to improve my SB… or PB, sure!

Then, on the 27th of September, me and some other Italian Decathletes, will perform a 100 minutes decathlon. I’m looking forward to do that! Last time (2004) I did it I set 6975, so it could be a good chanche to improve that result. I’ll write some posts about that
