Favorites Advance in Women's 1500m Qualifying By David Monti (c) 2007 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved August 29, 2007
OSAKA
(29-Aug) -- On a rainy and dreary morning here, the first round of the
women's 1500m was kind to the medal favorites as all of them advanced
to Friday's semi-finals.
Moroccan Mariem Alaoui Selsouli won the
first heat in 4:09.05 over Bahraini Maryam Yusuf Jamal (4:09.47) and
Pole Lidia Chojecka, the European indoor champion. Australian Sarah
Jamieson also got through on time, finishing seventh.
Russia's
Yuliya Fomenko won the second heat (4:09.57), with Ukraine's Iryna
Lishchynska (4:10.03) and Kenya's Viola Kibiwot just behind her
(4:10.53). Commonwealth Games gold medalist Lisa Dobriskey of Great
Britain also advanced, as did American Erin Donohue, who finished sixth
in 4:10.89.
"I got going at the end," said Donohue of
Haddenfield, N.J. in a statement released by USATF. "I was hurting but
I made sure I got the top six and made it through."
Another
Russian, Yelena Soboleva, came out on top of heat-3, in 4:10.45 ahed of
USA champion Treniere Clement (4:10.85) and Namibia's Agnes Samaria
(4:10.96). Canada's Carmen-Douma Hussar was eliminated finishing tenth
in 4:12.10. She had an outside shot at a medal.
Clement was
happy with her performance and credited advice from her coach, J.J.
Clark. "My goal was to make it back and that's what I did," she said.
"I watched the men's races and I knew it would be like that. My coach
and I worked on a lot of negative splitting of going out slow and
coming back really hard. I feel I'm prepared. My coach prepared me for
that."
