record 3:34.63 after tough duel with Augustine Choge (3:34.66). Impressive also
William Biwott 3:35.25 and Daniel Kipchirchir Komen 3:36.46. From European

equalled the world lead of Nesta Carter from Millrose Games). In close race
second Mike Rodgers 6.53 followed by Mark Burns 6.57 and Josh Norman 6.59.
Ukrainian Olesya Povh remains unbeaten this indoors after strong finish, her
7.13 was PB and European lead 2011. Gloria Asumnu second 7.14 ahead of Mariya
Ryemyen 7.17 and Ruddy Zang-Milama 7.17 (but 7.15 in heats). Kellie
Wells clocked already in heats another PB and world lead 7.84 at 60 m hurdles, in finals she
was on the way to even faster but stumbled little bit after last hurdle and won
in 7.89. Solid second Daniele Carruthers 7.92 ahead of Vonette Dixon 7.96 when
Carolin Nytra because of injury was not running the finals. Men´s race was even
closer when Petr Svoboda also remains unbeaten this indoor and after
technically bad race still managed to win in 7.57 ahead of US Kevin Craddock
who improved his PB to 7.57. Only third Chinese mega star Liu Xiang (7.60)
while Cuban Dayron Robles was not running at the end of the day because of his
back problems. Still to add from races the 800 m win for Boaz Lalang in
1:46.00 over fast closing Richard Kiplagat 1:46.16 and Poland´s Adam Kszczot
1:46.85. Lithuanian Egle Balciunaite won the 800 and improved her own national
record to 2:01.23 beating Czech Lenka Masna 2:02.12. 20-years old Ethiopian
Abeba Arigawi was easy 1500 m
winner in 4:06.10 in her first ever indoor race. In four technical events three
German wins. Malte Mohr cleared in third attempt 585 (indoor PB) what is his
season best in the pole vault and attacked 595. Katja Demut leaped in triple
jump to national record and world leading 14.47 over European Champion Olha
Saladuha of Ukraine
14.45 and Slovak Dana Veldakova 14.05. Ralf Bartels clearly beat in shot put

LONDON (GBR): West Ham United won the right
to move to the Olympic Stadium after next year’s London 2012 Games when they
were named as the preferred bidder by the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC)
Board. The unanimous recommendation, after months of wrangling with North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, was widely
expected after being leaked 48 hours previously and will now have to be
ratified by two Government departments as well as the Mayor of London, Boris
Johnson. Although approval for West Ham’s bid seems certain to be given,
Tottenham, who are understood to be unhappy over political issues outweighing
commercial viability, could still call for a judicial review over the process.
Informs Insidethegames.

RAS AL KHAIMAH (UAE): With less
than a week till the 5th edition of the RAK Half Marathon, the anticipation is
building as to just what might unfold in this tiny corner of the UAE, with one
of the strongest elite fields ever gathered for a half marathon anywhere,
preparing to travel. No less than nine of the elite men’s field have broken 60
minutes for a half marathon, while the women’s line-up in Ras Al Khaimah
includes World Record holder over 25km Mary Keitany (KEN) as well as ten other
women who’ve run comfortably under 70 minutes. For the February 18 event reigning

men’s field this year. The 25 year old is the third fastest in history with
58:52 from his second RAK win in February 2009, having won the previous year in
59:35. He opens his 2011 racing campaign after a fabulous 2010 run of form that
saw him win the Rotterdam Marathon (2:04:48) in April, followed by that victory
in the German capital last September (2:05:08). The best of the other eight men
under the hour, is Bernard Kipyego (KEN) who’s fourth in the Rotterdam Half of

marathon performer. One athlete who could set the cat amongst the pigeons, is French
Record Holder Christelle Daunay (68:34) who with 2nd at the Paris Marathon last
