2016 Asian Beach Games Athletics Day 3-4 Report: Diones adds a Bronze

September 19, 2016

Mark Harry Diones added another bronze medal to go with Veteran Marestella Torres bronze in the long jump.

Diones, a Criminology graduate from JRU trained by legendary coach Noel George (Jojo) Posadas, leaped 15.72m to secure the Bronze.

His best jump is 16.11m, and he was fourth at last year’s SEA Games.

He finished behind Nguyen Van Hung of Vietnam, the 2013 SEA Games Champion (16.63m), and Pratchaya Tepparak of Thailand (15.81m).

The 2016 Asian Beach Games Athletics continued for the Philippines campaign.

The Philippines quartet of Anfernee Lopena, Isidro Del Prado Jr., Jomar Udtohan, and Mark Harry Diones clocked 30.93, which got fourth and a well-beaten last place.

Behind Thailand 26.19, Oman 26.58, Vietnam 26.93.

China was disqualified.

Also, several results I can’t be bothered summarizing right now.

2016 Asian Beach Games Athletics: Barakat Al Harthi runs a very fast 6.44. Questioning the performance.

Not to take anything away from the amazing performance of 27-year-old Barakat Al Harthi of Oman. But the question is. For statisticians.

Is this 60m Time at Asian Beach Games legit?

Barakat Al Harthi (Oman) ran an incredible time of 6.44. Which is .05 within the world record of Maurice Greene (USA) 6.39?

The winning time at World Indoors is 6.47 by Trayvon Brommell.

Allathletics.com has a PB of 10.05 in the 100 and 6.67 in the indoor 60m.

1. Is it electronic timing?

2. Was it on dirt or rubberized oval?

3. Was it possibly wind-aided as it’s outdoors?

4. Was the distance of the 60m verified and approved by IAAF or the necessary 3rd party?

5. Is the meet sanctioned by IAAF or just by the Olympic Council of Asia

So do we have a new star/beast/freak emerging?

Or was one of the above factors playing in favor that can make this a legit performance?

Well, I wish this guy all the best legit or not, for this time, he clearly has a big future in the world of sprints.

The Long Jump had a dirt runway, not a rubberized runway making strong performances more difficult.

Relay Teams in Men’s 60m x 4 and a five-man 6km each cross country relay are awaited in the 3rd and 4th day of competition.

Road Running seems more popular.
