Some people are just starting their break from 2010 and for some, like Usain Bolt, the road to Daegu, Korea is beginning. In fact, three years of championship events, 2011 World Champs, London 2012, and World Champs 2013. That is longer than many elite athletes careers at the top!

Usain Bolt just told the IAAF that he is excited about beginning his training once again!

USAIN
IN FULL TRAINING

KINGSTON (JAM): Usain Bolt continues in his
training which started on first Monday of October. He confirmed for IAAF that
he now feels totally healthy and plans to try to defend his Berlin titles in Daegu next summer.
“Training has started and the good news is that I am 100% healthy and am
completely over my back and Achilles problems from the summer. I am really
enjoying training at the moment. For the first time in my career I was looking
forward to getting back into training before my end of season break was over. I
am looking forward to defending my 100 and 200 metres titles at the
2011 IAAF World Championships titles in Korea and so I know the importance
of putting in the work required. Coach Glen Mills is also aware of that
(smile)…he is putting on the pressure from early, but so far so good,” IAAF
quoted the fastest man on earth.

 

TUNE
AND DIBABA AIMING FOR COURSE RECORD

FRANKFURT
(GER): The amazing development of recent years seems set to continue in Sunday’s
Commerzbank Frankfurt Marathon. With 18 men featuring personal bests of sub
2:10 and eight of them having run faster than 2:07:15 last year’s world-class
course record from Gilbert Kirwa (Kenya/2:06:14) will be targeted. If weather
conditions are fine the Commerzbank Frankfurt Marathon could well see its first
sub 2:06 time. The event is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race. While organisers had
released names of the men’s elite field earlier the women runners have now been
announced. In contrast to the men the women did not quite live up to
expectations in the past few years. This is why a much stronger field has been
signed for Sunday. The aim is to finally break the five year-old course record
set by Russia’s Alevtina Biktimirova (2:25:12). Five runners have been entered
with personal bests of sub 2:26. Among them are Ethiopians Dire Tune and Mare
Dibaba. Tune has a personal best of 2:24:40 and was the winner of the Boston
Marathon in 2008. Just recently she won the silver medal in the IAAF World Half
Marathon Championships. Dibaba ran a great marathon debut in Rome, where she finished third with 2:25:38
in March this year. Earlier she had improved Tune’s national half marathon
record to 67:13 minutes. Two Kenyans – defending champion Agnes Kiprop (PB: 2:26:22)
and Caroline Kilel (2:25:24) – plus Hilda Kibet (Netherlands/2:30:33) could do
very well as well. Meanwhile European champion Zivile Balciunaite had to
withdraw due to illness and former world record holder and world champion
Catherine Ndereba can not run because of a foot injury. Organizers are
informing in a release.

 

AWARDS
FOR MALACHOWSKI AND WLODARCZYK

WARSZAWA (POL): Polish athletes
of the Year 2010 are discus European champion Piotr Malachowski (1276 points)
and hammer world record holder Anita Wlodarczyk (1050). That is the result of
the 41st edition of the poll organised by Sport newspaper and Polish federation
PZLA. The best athletes are recieving Golden Spikes. Both winners defended
their last year titles. In women order second pole vaulter Anna Rogowska (592)
and third heptathlete Karolina Tyminska (520). In men situation it was more
tougher with more European top perfomers second shot putter Tomasz Majewski
(1220) and third 800 m
gold medalist Marcin Lewandowski (992). In the Olympic Center of John Paul II
in Warszawa more awards for jumper Anna Jagaciak (newcomer of the year) and
Witold Suski (coach of the year, Malachowski).
