David Greene and Rhys Williams went 1-2 in the men’s 400 meter
hurdles. Greene ran the 400 meter intermediate hurdles final
flawlessly, and he was rewarded with a time equal to the great
Dave Hemery, 1968 Olympic 400m hurdle champion!

Mo Farah completed his dream: the double at the European
Championships. Winning the 10,000 meter took brinksmanship,
winning the 5,000 meters took focus. Farah had lost to Jesus
Espana of Spain in 2006 by .09!. This year, running a gut wrenching
2:25.24 for the last 1,000 meters, (that is like run four minute pace
for two laps and dropping the peddle to the medal, with a 25.24 last
200 meters), and Farah won! Afterwards he was overcome with
emotions, at the enormity of his achievement.

MARATHON


In 1993 the people of Switzerland voted to make 1 August Swiss National
Day, a national holiday to celebrate the founding of the Swiss
confederacy in the 19th century.  But this year they have something
extra to celebrate: the first Swiss athlete ever to win a European
Marathon title as Viktor Rothlin got 2:15:31 win. “My career might as
well have been over after today, but the only thing I can say now is
that I’m back!!” Röthlin exclaimed. “It feels great.” In March of 2009
after training at altitude in Kenya for London, Röthlin suffered a
pulmonary embolism that landed him in an intensive care unit of a Swiss
hospital.  He said that he got the embolism from sitting in a cramped
plane seat on a long flight, also had to have a foot surgery last year
in which, according to his massage therapist Daniel Troxler, a piece of
bone was removed from his right heel.  Today’s marathon was only his
first in nearly two years. Second Chema Martinez 2:17:50 and third
Russian Dmitriy Safronov 2:18:16. Only five went in hot and humid
conditions sub 2:20. European Cup went to Spain 6:58:00 ahead of Russia
7:01:29 and Italy 7:01:40. (RRW)


OTTEY

Legendary Merlene Ottey still not thinking about retirement. “Here I am
now, at 50, wanting to see how fast I can run. This is what actually
motivates me and I think when I get to 60, I’ll want to see what I can
do then.”
