Poland's Konrad Bukowiecki proved he is well on track to take shot put gold at the IAAF World U20 Championships Bydgoszcz 2016 when throwing a whopping 22.29m to win the Polish U20 Championships in Suwalki on Sunday (3).

Teenage sprinter Jack Hale stunned his opponents at the Australian All Schools Championships in Adelaide on Saturday (6) after winning the 100m in a wind-assisted 10.13, the fastest time ever recorded under any conditions by a youth athlete.

Green and gold will certainly be on display in the Chinese city of Nanjing at the second edition of the Youth Olympics Games, with the athletics programme held between 20-26 August.
