The 75th edition of the Memorial Boris Hanzeković ran on Saturday, May 24. The meet had record-breaking performances across several disciplines. The meeting took place at the Sports Club Mladost in Zagreb, Croatia.

Kristjan Čeh shines

European champion Kristjan Čeh set a new discus meeting record with a big 72.34 metres throw in the sixth round. He first threw for 64.92m, 69.05m, and 70.06m. Alin Alexandru Firfirică finished second with 64.80m. Marek Farta took third with his best of 63.08m.

Čeh said, “I’m not surprised. Training has gone very well. Today was a great competition with good crowd and conditions. There’s still a lot of time before Worlds in Tokyo.”

The performance is the new Slovenian national record and sixth in the world.

Gudaf Tsegay dominates

World champion Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia won in 3:58.14, improving the meeting record. Fellow Ethiopian, 19-year-old phenom Birke Haylom, also broke the four-minute barrier, clocking in with her 3:59.19-second-place performance.

Tsegay said, “I had stomach issues before the race, but I’m happy to start my outdoor season with a win.”

Last year in Xiamen, China, during one of the Diamond League stops, Haylom set the U20 world record at 3:53.22 as an 18-year-old.

She also holds the world U20 record in the 3000m with her 8:25.37 performance at the Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais Trophée EDF, Arena Stade Couvert, Liévin, France. This performance was run indoors, so it counts as both the record and “short track” record.

Haylom set the 1500 short track U20 record with her 3:58.43 run in February 2024 at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix at the track at New Balance, Boston, MA

Three months later, Haylom ran the 5000m in 14:23.71 at the 2024 Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field, Eugene, OR taking the U18 and U20 world records.

The meet was created in honour of late hurdler Boris Hanzeković in 1951.

Julien Alfred is at it again

Julien Alfred won her European seasonal debut with a 22.15 clocking in the 200m. She finished ahead of Spanish sprinter Jael Bestué, who clocked a 22.92 performance. Hungary’s Boglárka Takács settled for third in 23.22.

The University of Texas Longhorns grad appears to be ready to repeat 2024, where she capped the season with a Paris Olympic gold medal in the time of 10.72. She also took silver in the 200m, finishing in 22.08.
