The conditions in Milano were, well challenging, and several athletes added to their reputations. Oscar Pistorious, aka the Blade Runner, won the 400 meters outright. This was one of his few wins, and his quote about appreciating such moments was just another indication of why sports fans see Pistorious as something different for track & field.

Mohammed Amman finally got David Rudisha, the 800 meter world record holder. Rudisha and Amman battled in the rain, with Amman getting the nod. It was just not Rudisha’s day….

Oh, and kudoes to Alistair Cragg, who set a new national record for 5,000m in the Brussels 5,000m with his pb of 13:03.53 and fifth place.

Jenny Simpson had a busy weekend. A 1,500m on Friday in Brussels, then one in Tangiers on Sunday (she won in Tangiers). Her next race is the Fifth Avenue Mile.


Chernova and Van Alphen

TALENCE (FRA, Sep 18): World champion Tatyana Chernova won the 35th
Decastar meet (also the IAAF CE Challenge) with 6679 points ahead of
olympic winner Natalya Dobrynska of Ukraine 6538 and Poland´s Karolina
Tyminska 6301. Third overnight Canadian Jessica Zelinka was fourth 6296
ahead of of another Ukrainian Lyudmyla Yosypenko 6220. On Sunday
Chernova top long jump 657 and Tyminska superb 800 m 2:06.51. Men´s
decathlon was not that strong with Belgian Hans van Alphen winning with
8200 points score. Second Estonian Mikk Pahapill 8184 beating Eelco
Sintnicolaas of Netherlands 8170. Other medalists from top events
followed, Ukrainian Oleksiy Kasyanov 8045 and Belarus Andrey Kravchenko
8023. Cuban Leonel Suarez is the challenge winner ahead of Sintinicolaas
and Pahapill. Chernova, Oeser, Dobrynska and Tyminska are the top four
in women final ranking.


Kenyan domination

SOUTH SHIELDS (GBR, Sep 18):  For the first time in ten years, and only
the third time in the 31-year history of the race, athletes from Kenya
took both the men’s and women’s titles with dominant performances at the
Bupa Great North Run, the world’s largest half-marathon with 54,000
entrants.  Martin Mathathi (58:56) and Lucy Kabuu (1:07:06) both clocked
career best times, and Mathathi handily broke Zersenay Tadese’s 2005
course record of 59:05. In the early-start all-women’s race, a deep
international field took a thrashing from the tiny 27 year-old Kabuu,
whose full name is Lucy Wangui Kabuu.  Today’s race was her first
outside of Kenya since 2008, the year she finished seventh at the
Beijing Olympics in the 10,000m, running a career best 30:39.96.  She
had been on maternity leave since giving birth to daughter, Angel, in
May, 2010. Women winning mark was the second-fastest in the world this
year behind only Mary Keitany’s 1:05:50 world record set last February
at Ras Al Khaimah. Well behind Kabuu, Jessica Augusto comfortably won
the battle for second over compatriot Marisa Barros, 1:09:27 to
1:10:29.  Like Pavey, who finished fourth in 1:10:49, Augusto is
training for the ING New York City Marathon.  Helen Clitheroe took the
fifth position in her half-marathon debut in 1:10:57, despite running
the one-mile race at the Great North City Games less than 24 hours ago
in nearby Gateshead. Jonathan Maiyo held on for second in 59:27, and
Emmanuel Mutai was able to pass Micah Kogo to take third in a personal
best 59:52.  Mutai’s manager Michel Boeting said that it was a good run
for his client considering that he was in the midst of training for the
marathon in New York.  Kogo was timed in 1:00:03, and France’s
Abdellatif Meftah got fifth in 1:01:02. Jaouad Gharib finished sixth in
1:01:31 and seemed to be limping slightly at the finish. Writes Race Results Weekly.


M. Kisorio 58:46, K. Smith 1:07:10

PHILADELPHIA (USA, Sep 18): With a large smile and his hands pointed
skyward, Mathew Kisorio entered the history books at the Rock ‘n’ Roll
Philadelphia Half-Marathon. The 22-year-old Kenyan became the
third-fastest man ever in the 21.1-kilometer event. Kisorio’s winning
time, 58:46, also set a new USA all-comer’s record, eclipsing Haile
Gebrselassie’s mark (58:55) that was set at the 2006 edition of the Rock
‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon. Kisorio’s victory was a hard-fought
with him running alongside 58-minute half-marathoner Sammy Kitwara
(second in 58:47), all the way to the finish line. Third place went to
Kenya’s James Mwangi who finished a full three minutes behind Kisorio
and Kitwara in a still-fast 1:00:42. The top American male was Villanova
University grad Bobby Curtis who placed ninth in 1:01:52. In the
women’s race, Kim Smith of New Zealand shattered her own USA all-comer’s
record, clocking 1:07:10. Her victory was similar to Kisorio’s with
Smith, a New Zealand-record holder and former Providence College
standout, going neck-and-neck with another competitor (Ethiopia’s
Werknesh Kidane) until the last mile. Kidane ended up placing second
behind Smith in 1:07:28. Third place went to Ethiopia’s Bizunesh Deba in
1:09:53. Informs Race Results Weekly.

MILANO (ITA, Sep 18): Sensation at Notturna di Milano meet. Youth
