6.28 by Olympian Alberto Gines Lopez (19)
Alberto Gines Lopez, who has focused on Euro Youth Cups, finally had a great result when he won the Speed qualification with 6.28, setting a new PB. Out of the 20 Olympians, only the three Speed specialist and Tomoa Narasaki and Mickael Mawem have a better PB. As the Combined results are multiplied in Tokyo, it is very important to have a superb result in one or two events instead of having three good results. In other words, if the 19-year-old can advance to the Top-8 final he could be second in Speed giving him good chances for bronze overall.
