Having a very tough Daegu was U.S. champion Morgan Uceny. Looking good through the rounds, Uceny was caught in a tumble during the 1,500m final, finishing out of the medals. A tough tumble to someone who was thought to be a real medal contender.

Morgan came back at the Brussels meeting, winning the DL and running fastest time of the year with her fine 4:00.06 for the 1,500 meters.

Morgan Uceny is one of those athletes who we will see on the medal stands over the next few years. As in life, in our sport, one has to hit the lows to appreciate the high points .


DECANATION
NICE
(FRA): Seventh Decanation (teams match in decathlon events) will see 8
teams battling for the overall win. In previous editions USA won four
times and Russia with France got one each. Also this year team USA will
compete as favorite with world finalist Maggie Vassey in the 800 m, shot
put world medalist Jill Camarena-Williams on the women side, sprinter
Justin Gatlin and pole vaulter Derek Miles to name on the men side. But
Russia will be also strong with world champion Tatyana Lysenko in
hammer, Anastasiya Kapachinskaya in the 400 m, Yelena Slesarenko in high
jump and Aleksandr Menkov in long jump. Home team of France will have
two stars Christophe Lemaitre in the 100 m and Renaud Lavillenie in the
pole vault. Germany as usual strong in throws with world champion David
Storl in shot put, Markus Esser and Kathrin Klaas in hammer. Malte Mohr
is entered into the pole vault. The other teams are South Africa, China,
Spain and England.

DOHA BID FOR 2017
BRUSSELS
(BEL): Doha unveiled in Brussels more details of its bid to host the
2017 World Athletics Championships, including staging the long distance
events like the marathon at night to avoid the worst of the heat and
also offering to organise the International Paralympic Committee World
Championships immediately afterwards. It also, not surprisingly, was
keen to emphasise that it already had the majority of its infrastructure
in place to stage the Championships, unlike its only rival London,
whose bid continues to suffer from uncertainty over the future of the
Olympic Stadium. The Khalifa Stadium will feature the latest
state-of-the-art cooling technology for the Championships, which would
take place in the middle of September if Qatar’s bid is successful. The
marathon, which traditionally takes place in the morning, would be
scheduled in the evening, along the Corniche waterfront, including one
of the races being incorporated into the Opening Ceremony. Doha is also
proposing to build Athletics City to accommodate the the competitors and
officials during the Championships The development would offer luxury
apartments, five star hotels, restaurants and entertainment facilities.
They also promised that the Khalifa Stadium would be full to its 40,000
capacity each day.

PLS IS A HAPPY MOTHER

olympic medalist gave birth Friday to a baby girl Nataliya Ava, who

Lopes-Schliep posted on Twitter: “Thank you everyone for all your
support, Bronsen & I our very happy to announce the birth of our
daughter Nataliya Ava Schliep!” She trained through most of her
pregnancy with her sights set on next summer’s London Olympics.
