Veronica Campbell-rwn


For the sixth year, the adidas Grand Prix has continued to grow. A quite astute Australian media personality gave me this observation: "The Diamond League is about match-ups. The match up between Allyson Felix and Veronica Campbell-Brown, along with the men's triple jump, were epic match-ups!"

With ten meet records and four world leaders, the adidas Grand Prix surpassed expectations. "The absence of Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt did not make the meet any less! It was amazing!" I will take until Sunday to give you my comments on the meet, but will provide you with some great observations from Alfons Juck and a few others.

The New York Grand Prix started six years ago, when Todd Klein, then, at Reebok, spoke to Mark Wetmore of Global Athletics about putting on a meet on Randalls Island. With about twelve weeks to spare, Global Athletics launched the Reebok Grand Prix, with some strong performance and 3,500 fans. Each year, the meet has gotten better, with the crowd, in stands and out, numbering over 10,000 this year.

Global Athletics & Marketing has has some great support from Reebok over the years, and now adidas. In 2008, they had the WR by Usain Bolt. In 2009, Tyson Gay blazed a 200 meters in 19.58. In 2010, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Allyson Felix dueled to the finish, bringing the fans to their feet, as Campbell-Brown ran 21.97 to Felix's 22.02! And then, the men's triple jump, with Philip Idowu, Christian Olsson and Teddy Tamgho! Tomgho broke the French record twice, with his final jump of 17.98 (a 59 footer!), Tamgho jumped the farthest anyone had in twelve years! The Top three in the triple jump were 17.98, Olson in 17.61, Idowu in 17.32!

Finally, let's take a moment and recognize the women's 100m hurdles. LoLo Jones lead five under 12.71 and won in 12.55, a new world leader. Day in, day out, the women's hurdlers battle each other, day in, day out.

In the end, it was all about the competition. The adidas Grand Prix 2010 gave the fans in Icahn Stadium and watching by TV their money's worth!

Kudos to the adidas Grand Prix for the competition between
Jessica Ennis and Hyleas Fountain, a great chance to see two of
the athletes who should shine in 2012. And the Jim Ryun Mile was
a total success! (More on that later)!
