Men's 200m - Tyson Gay Answers Injury Doubts With Dominant 20.00 Victory
Making up the stagger on typically slow-starting rival Wallace Spearmon in a matter of meters, Tyson Gay stepped on the gas pedal from the crack of the gun and won in impressive fashion. The Crystal Palace crowd certainly appreciated Tyson's excellence, but the scene was nowhere near as electric as it was for Usain Bolt the day before.
The broadcast announcer said of Gay's form, "I don't think he looks as smooth as Usain Bolt." Exactly right. Gay dominated, but he is clearly the world #2. Yet despite the time not being totally mind-boggling, Gay did look very sharp and very hungry. There were no signs of an injury stopping him as he got out to a roaring start, pulled well clear, and then relaxed through the finish. We'll see what he can do in Berlin in a few weeks.
Wind reading? The runners actually had a slight tailwind on the homestretch with a 0.4m/sec reading, so this was not a case of a major headwind slowing Gay down. Thinking back to Golden League Paris, one has to remember Bolt destroyed the field there, beating Olympic medalists by over a second, winning by 3-6m over some of his vaunted rivals. Gay, on the other hand, only managed to gap Irish no-name Paul Hession by 0.40 seconds today in London. He needs to perform much better to match Bolt.
After the race a brief quote from Gay came through the wires, and it wasn't a good message. Gay was quoted as saying, "The race went ok, but I've got to go and see the physio now. I've got a slight injury." So perhaps his lack of sprinting fluidity really was the result of some chronic soreness.

Men's Emsley Carr Mile Kenya, Sudan and Mexico Americans go 1-2-3!
Bernard Lagat took down the famed Emsley Carr Mile with ease in the final stretch, and his American compatriots Lopez Lomong and Leonel Manzano ran very well, charging home just behind the double world champion to make up the US sweep.
After much publicity, Nate Brannen couldn't answer the call today as the 1500m split for the leaders was only 3:37 and Brannen couldn't hold the front group. Brannen faded down the stretch much like Lomong did in their last head-to-head in Heusden.
All of the racers owe a debt of gratitude to perhaps the best middle-distance pace-maker in the world, American David Krummenacker. His pacing job took the field through perfectly evenly at 1:55 through 880 yards. But as Krum pulled off, Lagat smartly had himself in front and pulled back the pace. The third lap was over 60 and the chance for a fast time under 3:50 was shot. Lagat's odds for winning though, were looking brighter by the second. He won in 3:52, with Manzano in second place in a new personal best 3:53.01.
The race was quite the optimistic one for American fans as their three main entrants literally plowed away from their competitors in the last 200m. In fact, 9 entrants set mile personal bests in the race (thanks, Krummenacker! Seriously, he should get free dinners for a week and a half!). Ryan Gregson was way back, but still ran a pr 3:58.

Women 5000m - Tirunesh Dibaba Sends Strong Message In Closing Kilometer
Ethiopian superstar Tirunesh Dibaba signaled her form has returned, though the dominant heroine of the past looked far from perfect as she finished over 20 seconds off of her personal best and world record.
Dibaba fans can delight in the fact that her 14:33.65 matched the stadium record. Her closing lap was 60 seconds, a 31-second 200 followed by a 29-second 200. She led the last 2200 meters of the race as well, on a day where winds were certainly a presence. Her final kilometer was her best of the race, at or around 2:49.
Further, some very solid runners such as New Zealand's Kim Smith were left far behind as Dibaba's Ethiopian pace-makers took her through in opening kilometers of 2:54.
So Dibaba is back, and joins compatriots Meselech Melkamu and, of course, Meseret Defar, as certain medal contenders at both 5,000m and 10,000m distances in Berlin. But if their maximum fitness is only in the 14:30's, rather than the 14:10's, their rivals from Kenya, Turkey, America and Russia have to feel at least slightly encouraged.
Behind Dibaba, Sentayehu Ejigu ran 14:40 and Kim Smith, who ran the entire race alone, clocked 14:52. Ejigu's time is shocking considering she was directly behind Dibaba with 350m remaining. It just goes to show what separates the best Ethiopians from the rest: a huge finishing kick. Only 8 women finished the race, with 5 DNF's and 1 DNS.

Women 1500m - Anna Willard Takes Down Shannon Rowbury To Win Exciting Race
The women's 1500m was a great example of a race that is incredibly interesting to watch thanks to a relaxed pace for the first few laps. This race, for us, boiled down to a battle between America's top milers (minus Christin Wurth-Thomas and Jenny Barringer) and Britain's top milers. Anna Willard, Shannon Rowbury, Erin Donohue and Morgan Uceny, faced off with Steph Twell, Hannah England and Lisa Dobriskey.
800m specialist Alysia Johnson of the US took the early pace-making duties, and they went out quite relaxed. 70 seconds for the first lap, 67 seconds for the second lap. Twell was near the front with Rowbury and Willard stalking in 3rd and 4th. Uceny was near the back while Donohue was tucked in to the mid-back of the pack on the inside.
As the final pace-maker dropped out with about 600m to go, Steph Twell stepped on the accelerator with Rowbury on the outside and Willard near. Uceny started passing the field around the outside while the other contenders jockeyed for position. This was quite a race! The clock read 3:07 with 400m to go, meaning the pace had not really ramped up yet. The fun was yet to come.
Twell lengthened her advantage and looked quite good, still with 200 to go, 150 to go. But the American duo were coming, and in particular the former 800m and steeplechase Ivy League champion Anna Willard. Rowbury thought she would sniff victory, but Willard had different plans and charged home for a strong win. Rowbury held off Dobriskey for second.
Twell faded all the way back to 6th as New Jersey-based Erin Donohue caught her near the line. Another former Ivy League champion Morgan Uceny finished in 8th, but spent a good 80% of the race running in the outside of lane 2 so we think she doesn't have too much to be disappointed about, especially coming just days after a 2:00 clocking for 800m.
The winning time was only 4:07 but it was a great race as it featured intriguing match-ups and pace-making that allowed for an exciting finish. The final lap was covered in under 60 seconds for Willard, who sat in 4th at the bell. Who won the national battle? Clearly the Americans as they went 1-2-5 while GBR went 3-4-6.

Men 4x100m - Bolt And Jamaicans Look Amazing With 37.46 Shocker... Then DQ'd!
Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt led the Jamaicans to a beautiful 4x100m run that shattered the stadium record of Crystal Palace. Only .36 off the world record, this race was a statement indeed. The officials were offended, however, and apparently have disqualified "Racers TC" for some sort of violation. So the US gets the win but really they got their doors blown off. The Jamaicans were DQd and then reinstated.

Men 400m Hurdles
Wow, an impressive intermediate hurdles field was assembled in London on Saturday. Former Olympic champion Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic returned to top-level competition against the top Americans Kerron Clement and Bershawn "Batman" Jackson.
But Sanchez, despite massive efforts, has not returned to top form, and was never a factor. Instead, the consistently inconsistent Clement got out very well and held on with his monstrous strides to take a very notable win in 48.85 seconds. Batman put on a good deal of pressure in the homestretch, but Clement pulled away as he is wont to do on his best days.
Making it a US 1-2-3 sweep, former NCAA champion Michael Tinsley came up for a tight 3rd over veteran LJ Van Zyl of South Africa.

Women 100m Hurdles - McClellan Leaves Lolo In The Blocks
After a horrible start left Lolo Jones back in the field, she made up for it with a strong effort to almost catch Aussie Sally McClellan who was out of the blocks like a rocket. Tightly sandwiched between those two at the finish was Canadian star Perdita Felicien. All ran excellent times in the 12.65-12.71 range.

Women Steeplechase - Exciting Finish Highlights Otherwise Poor Quality Race
The times were not very good, but the competition came down to a 4-filly race in the final meters that was quite exciting. Poland's Katarzyna Kowalska certainly did all she could, setting a personal best in winning by far the biggest race of her life in 9:34.07. Former American record-holder Lisa Galaviz also made a valiant charge to catch previous race leader Netsanet Achamo of Ethiopia. Galaviz got a seasonal-best 9:34.30 reward for her efforts.

Men Long Jump - American Dwight Phillips Extends String Of Fantastic Performances
Dwight Phillips didn't produce one outstanding mark, but instead a series of very high-quality jumps demonstrating that not only is he capable of superb one-shot efforts, but consistency as well. Every time he was over 8m, despite winds and at times not even being on the board.
Irving Saladino had to pull out of the competition with an injury bug, leaving the 2-man rivalry with only one man.

Men Pole Vault - Olympic Champ Steve Hooker Starts New Win Streak W/ Narrow Victory Over American Derek Miles
Steve Hooker joins stars Blanka Vlasic, Dayron Robles and Yelena Isinbayeva on the list of 2008's dominant powers to be in some real trouble in 2009. Hooker won the competition over Derek Miles on jumps, but really struggled once he got to the upper heights. But, a win is a win and Hooker certainly learned some more technical data that will help him as he prepares for Berlin.

Women Long Jump
The women's long jump coverage was excellent and the competition was an interesting one as well. Portugal's Naide Gomes came away with a 9cm win, coming up just 1cm short of 7.00m. Estonia's European indoor champion Ksenija Balta jumped a strong 6.85m for 3rd. Cuban World triple jump #1 Yargelis Savigne did her off event and did well, struggling a bit with the run but still managing a 6.77m personal best. Russian Tatyana Lebedeva gave a big effort on her last jump, moving up the standings to second in 6.90m. American Funmi Jimoh jumped a very adequate 6.80m to place 4th in the competition.
