IAAF World Athletics Tour - Monaco

Vlasic edges Friedrich but it couldn’t have been much closer

The Berlin High Jump dress rehearsal was a tight battle as expected and left World champion Blanka Vlasic gaining revenge following her defeat to Germany’s European Indoor champion Ariane Freidrich at the opening of the AF Golden League on 14 June, when the latter set her 2.06m national record. Tonight they were level pegging right up to 2.01 which they both cleared on their second attempt. But at the next height - 2.03m - it was Vlasic who was super cool taking it on her second approach, while Freidrich had it only on her third.

However, considering moments before that a poor bit of event coordination and observation from an infield judge nearly saw the German moan down by a phalanx of fast moving track runners, you have to give Friedrich applause to have regained her concentration enough to clear that bar at all.

But with both failing at 2.05, the victory was the Croatians who now will make her final preparations to defend her World title with that confidence boost.

“Now I’m happy with the way I feel,” said Vlasic, “You know a few centimetres can depend on so many small things.”

Friedrich was also upbeat, “I really enjoyed jumping tonight, great atmosphere.”

Fraser dominant; McKenzie-Ferguson flies again

Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser took a gun to tape win in the women’s dash, running an identical time of 10.91sec to her last outing in Rome on 10 July, with negligible wind last time and nil in Monaco. With a season’s best of 10.88 back in June, Fraser is rounding back into top shape in time for Berlin. In her wake this evening was reigning World champion Veronica Campbell-Brown in 11.03, with these Jamaicans split by the resurgent Debbie McKenzie-Ferguson, second in 10.98. The 33-year-old from the Bahamas hasn’t run this fast over 100m since 2003, and she is already the quickest in the world over 200m this year (22.32).

Jamal more than holds off Burka

In their last meeting together in the wet in Lausanne (7 Jul) Ethiopia’s Gelete Burka beat World champion Maryam Jamal over 1500m - 4:00.67 to 4:01.99. Tonight the Bahraini had her nose in front - behind the last pace maker - entering the final 400m, and held on to pole despite a determined attack from Burka. The World champion was the strongest and in the last 100m pulled away from her opponent winning in 3:58.83 to Burka’s 3:59.56. There was a PB for Morocco’s Mariem Selsouli in third (4:00.95).

IAAF World Athletics Tour - Stockholm

Felix and Gay dominate the dashes

Spectators and athletes enjoyed marvellous conditions at the opening of the meet, but the temperature fell to an unfriendly 16-18 degrees over the final two hours.

But that did not bother two reigning World champions. First, Felix sprinted to a world leading 21.88 half lap, 0.35 seconds ahead of Bahamian Debbie Ferguson (22.23), a performance just 0.07 seconds shy of Felix’s career best from her victory race in Osaka. Jamaican Kerron Stewart (22.72), the Olympic bronze medallist and world leader in the 100m this season, was never a threat to the American, and finished nearly a second behind Felix who grabbed the only diamond of the harsh Stockholm evening for setting a news stadium record.

“It felt really good,” Felix said. “I was worried about the conditions. I wanted to work the curve and I did. It really worked.”

The second gem of the meet was metaphorical as a gust of 2.6 meters per second assisted Tyson Gay when he sped to a stunning 9.79 triumph, denying him the Stadium record that still belongs to Asafa Powell from last year’s winning duel with Usain Bolt. Powell and Darvis Patton (9.95) had both a better start than Tyson, but the World Champion’s final stretch was invincible. Patton (9.95) and Powell (9.98) went sub10, but the victory margin grew to almost two tenths of a second.

“We knew that the wind was strong,” Gay admitted, but added, “This is an evidence of how hot I am and it’s important for Berlin.”

IAAF World Athletics Tour - Stockholm

Lopes-Schliep improves to 12.51

Black clouds swept over the Swedish capital during the afternoon and showered the 97 year old Olympic Arena. A glorious sun conquered the sky and welcomed the hurdlers who were not late to exploit the circumstances in their heats. Former World champion Perdita Felicien of Canada continues to improve. She passed Sally McLellan, the quickest starter as usual, and ended the race in 12.54, her best result of the five past years. The Canadian’s feat was fullfilled by Priscilla Lopes-Schliep who missed her PB by only 0.01 of a second while winning the second heat in an even faster 12.53. With Brigitte Foster-Hylton in 12.59 and Ginnie Powell in 12.64 there were three new marks on this year’s World Top 10 already after the heats.

Last year Lopes-Schliep won the B-final in a faster time (12.61) than Lolo Jones had as the winner of the A-final. Now she had the direct oppurtunity to beat her and Lopes-Schliep was even quicker in the final that was decided without the help of a significant tailwind. Once again McLellan exploded out of her blocks while Lopes-Schliep needed 0.2 seconds to react. But she was soon challenged by Lopes-Schliep and Jones made her presence clear over the last hurdle. The Canadian managed to hold back Jones and win with the smallest of margins, 12.51 to12.52 with Foster-Hylton 0.06 and McLellan 0.13 behind.

“I had a decent start, but a strong finish. Hopefully I can do it again at the World championships,” said Lopes-Schliep, the Olympic bronze medallist last year. It is really hard to predict who will be victorious hurdler in Berlin!

IAAF World Athletics Tour - Stockholm

No opposition for Thorkildsen and Robles

Andreas Thorkildsen and Dayron Robles proved firmly to be the favourites for Berlin as they had no opposition at all in Stockholm. All of the Norvegian’s throws were at least a couple of metres longer than the other javelin competitors, measuring 85.43m-84.47m-81.99m-84.54m-86.85m-85.65m. It probably didn’t matter to him too much that he was last in the following precision competition, a gimmick act won by Jan Zelezny’s pupil Petr Friedrich.

The black clouds returned and a light rain fell over the male hurdlers with Dayron Robles securing a clean victory. He coped with the chilly conditions in 13.11, leaving all the other hurdlers more than a quarter of a second behind.

Jeremy Wariner is back to sub-45 for the first time since mid-May. The double World Champion took his fifth consecutive win in Stockholm and exposed his trademark finish, crossing the line in 44.83, almost three quarters of a second ahead of  Briton Michael Bingham (45.49) securing the 1-2 for Michael Johnson’s agency that Wariner had forecasted.

“It felt great and it just gets better,” Wariner said. “Stockholm is by far one of my favourite meets.”

A final lap of 63 seconds secured Jenny Barringer’s win in the competitve 5000m where six women fought for victory as the bell sounded. The American Steeplechase champion and national record holder led for most of the race and came back 300 metres from home. She held off Russia’s Natalya Popkova to a victory in 15:05.25.

“I wish I could have run faster today, but the victory is important with some of the best 5k women in the world,” Barringer said. “I had a good kick at the end.”

The 800 meter runners did never have any intentions to follow the pacemaker Vincent Kiilu. Boaz Lalang’s winning time ended to be an unexceptional 1:47.11. Surprisingly Yuriy Borzakovskiy (1:47.34) could not manage to catch Lalang. That was the Kenyan’s second prestigious win over the former Olympic champion.

“I have struggled a while, but now it is starting to work for me,” Lalang said.

Those also dropped from the original list of qualifiers included triple jumper Amarjeet Singh, javelin thrower Anil Kumar Singh and women's 400m runner Mandeep Kaur and discus thrower Harwant Kaur.

Discus thrower Vikas Gowda and woman distance runner Preeja Sreedharan, both of whom were in the qualified list, are recovering from injuries.
