Our sport is about competition. Robles and Oliver are very different hurdlers, however, they are similar in one area: they love to compete. 2010 has been David Oliver’s year. He has come to an understanding with his size. One of the most powerful men in our sport, David possesses amazing power and tremendous agility. His hurdling this year was mind boggling, and there is more to come! Dayron Robles has fought back from injuries and should, along with China’s Liu Xiang, make David Oliver fight for each hurdle race. RBR looks forward to 2011!

ROBLES
VS. OLIVER

STUTTGART (GER): World record holder Dayron
Robles who is again healthy against world number one in 2010 David Oliver. That
should be one of the highlights of the jubilee 25th edition of Stuttgart Indoor
meeting Sparkassen Cup. So far they met indoor five times (per Tilastopaja) and
in all cases (twice in 2007 and three times in 2010) Robles was the winner.
Debuting at the event will be high jump European indoor champion Ariane
Friedrich
who missed the meeting in the past due to date clash with Arnstadt
high jump (this season on February 19). Her main rival will be Sweden´s Emma
Green who beat her in Barcelona
last summer. Barcelona
winners Verena Sailer and Christian Reif (against Irving Saladino) are also confirmed.
Another top name secured is the fastest European, triple gold medalist from
Barcelona Christophe Lemaitre. Also the other French star pole vaulter Renaud
Lavillenie will fight in Schleyer Hall with best home vaulters headed by Malte
Mohr. Women´s pole vault will see 2010 world number one Fabiana Murer of Brazil against
German elite Silke Spiegelburg with Lisa Ryzih. After four years Tobias Unger
should again try one lap, the 200
m.

 

CALATAYUD
HAS A DAUGHTER

HAVANA (CUB): 2005 World 800m
champion Zulia Calatayud became a mother on Thursday and she believes this
milestone cannot compared to any result she has achieved, family sources
informed. The 31-year old Cuban delivered 8.4-pound Maria Margarita Labañino
Calatayud by caesarean at 3.45am in a Havana
hospital on Thursday. Her husband Erlenis Labañino, mother Petra and sister Zoila were present to
celebrate with her. The 2006 World Cup champion plans to return to the track,
but not in time for the World Championships in Daegu or the Pan American Games
in Mexico
next year, sources added. Calatayud aims to resume his athletic career next
September or earlier if she is fully recovered. “Nothing compares to her, not
even my world title. I feel a completely accomplished woman”, she said.
