LAUSANNE (SUI): April has always been a transitional
month for European athletics as many major cities experience the thrill of
thousands of runners running major marathons while the track & field season
kicks off in earnest, albeit mainly in the USA. Following this, European
Athletics is pleased to announce that the nominations for the European Athlete
of the Month for April represents eight countries. The voting will close on
Friday 20 May at noon CET.

 

PRAGUE (CZE): If Lydia Cheromei can combine her own
considerable resources with following the example of her training partner, then
the course record in Sunday’s Volkswagen Prague Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label
race will under severe threat. A world champion at 13, and now a mother and one
of the world’s best women marathoners, Cheromei already shattered the course
record for the half-marathon in Prague
five weeks ago. “Mary Keitany won London
in 2:19:19 and she is my training partner, this boosts my morale and I know I
can run well like her. I don’t know if I can run 2:19 or under 2:20 but I’m
hoping to run well.” Her PB is 2:23:01 from Dubai this January. The women’s course record
is held by Helena Kirop of Kenya
with a fine 2:25:29 last year. Also top contenders the Ethiopian Yeshimebet
Tadesse with 2:27:45 in Dubai last year and aiming to break 2:30 and better are
a string of athletes, including the Namibian record holder Helalia Johannes
while South Africa’s Rene Kalmer, holder of 32 national records, runs her first
competitive marathon with a view to winning selection for the World
Championships in Daegu in August. Whereas the women’s race looks a foregone
conclusion barring accidents, the men’s race is wide open. Making the
transition from high quality road racer over the shorter distances to the
marathon is a leap of faith, but Sammy Kosgei is quietly confident that his
achievements so far, including a world record for 25km in Berlin in May 2010, will stand him in good
stead for his competitive marathon debut. There will certainly be strong
opposition and the fastest man in the field is last year’s runner-up, Yemane
Tsegay. The Ethiopian has run 2:06:30, for fourth place in Paris in 2009, one
of three men in the field with sub 2:08 performances. In terms of championship
performance, he has the best pedigree of the men’s field with fourth place at
the 2009 World Championship marathon in Berlin.
Writes Andy Edwards in a release.

 

DUSSELDORF (GER): Strong Africans, European hopes plus a
much anticipated debut by Germany’s
Jan Fitschen, that means the Sunday’s METRO Group Marathon
Duesseldorf has quite something to offer. While Africans will chase both course
records Austria’s Günther
Weidlinger and Russia’s
defending champion Natalya Volgina hope to be among the leading finishers.
Meanwhile Jan Fitschen goes for a sub 2:15 debut marathon. High temperatures
and a possible wind could harm performances on Sunday. Adding other running
events the race has around 14,000 entries. Three runners feature personal bests
of sub 2:10: Stephen Kiogora (Kenya/2:08:24), Chala Lemi (Ethiopia/2:08:49) and
Jonathan Yego (Kenya/2:09:57). The course record established by Iaroslav
Musinschi of Moldova
in 2010 stands at 2:08:32, it was also European best of the last year. There
are three women entered with personal bests of sub 2:30. Merima Mohammed is the
big favourite. Still only 18 years old the Ethiopian clocked 2:23:06 in Toronto in 2010, where
she finished third. Mohammed will have a go at the six year-old course record
held by Germany’s Luminita Zaituc (2:26:44). Among her strongest rivals there
will be Leah Malot (Kenya/personal best: 2:29:17) and defending champion Natalya
Volgina (2:27:32). „My aim is to reach a personal best and finish inside the
top three,” said Natalya Volgina.

By any measure, the #athletics portion of #CWG2022 was a huge success. Hoping for similar energy at #Munich2022. https://twitter.com/athleticsweekly/status/1556561722776948737

AW @AthleticsWeekly

There were 12 sessions of athletics over six days at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Given most were 30k sell-outs, it's safe to say around 360,000 people watched track and field this past
...week.

Wow.
