7.37 WC PB by Iuliia Kaplina takes her to most probably to Tokyo

Iuliia Kaplina, overall WC winner in 2016 who has won 12 WC's but who has had her worst Speed season for several years in 2019, set a WC PB with 7.37 and won the Speed event ahead of YiLing Song at 7.416. Third was 6.995 world record holder Aries Susanti Rahayu with 7.461 after having slipped in both her races. As there were a total of five Speed specialists dominating, there are still good chances for YiLing Song to advance to the final but Aries needs a miracle. Best by the non-Speed specialist was Kyra Kondie with 8.891 but as she anyhow was just #6 it does not have as much impact with the current multiplication system. Complete results
