EME NEWS (AUG 13, 2014) PART ONE

 

 

QUOTE OF THE SESSION

„I think I’m ok but I don’t know how my leg is after slipping to the ground on the wet track. All of the guys are having problems in the rain – it is very bad for me as I am in good condition. I think I will now have to go to the doctor but I hope I have no problems., „Aleksey Dmitrik in the high jump qualification.

 

RESULT OF THE SESSION

Excellent 75.73 in hammer in rain (most probably rain world record) by Anita Wlodarczyk in the qualification.

 

SURPRISE OF THE SESSION

Three favorites achieved the same time 13.29 in different races in the first round of 110 m hurdles (PML, Shubenkov, Sharman)

 

FAVORITES FALLS

In wet conditions 240 jumper Aleksey Dmitrik was out with 210 and nearly injured himself. In the 800 m heats out World indoor medalist Angelika Cichocka of Poland. In hammer qualification out Olympic winner 2008 Oksana Miankova of Belarus and fall in the 400 m hurdles heats by one of the favorites Hanna Ryzhykova of Ukraine.

 

STATS (by Ken Nakamura)

Germany’s Arthur Abele clocked 13.55 in the decathlon, setting a new championship record. Germany’s Rico Freimuth and Ukraine’s Oleksiy Kasyanov also ducked under the previous best of 13.96 which was set by Finland’s Eduard Hämäläinen in 1998 on his way to silver. In the women’s hammer qualification, Anita Wlodarczyk threw 75.73, the longest ever recorded in the first round. It is also the third longest throw ever at a European Championships. Spain’s Miguel Angel Lopez became the first European u23 20kmW champion to also claim the senior crown. It was the first time that Russia won more than one medal in the men’s 20kmW, although the URS did it twice. Lopez’s 1 second win is the smallest winning margin in championships history. The 0 sec differential between 3rd and 4th tied the smallest margin between those places at a Europeans; the difference was also 0 in 2002. Martina HraÅ¡nová of Slovakia threw 73.05, which is the 2nd best mark seen in the qualification round at a Europeans.

The 22 year old from France felt a pain in his hamstring between 60m and 80m in his 100m heat, where he clocked 10.06. The pain site was just above where he was injured earlier in the season. We underwent an ultrasound scan on Tuesday which showed no recurrence of the muscle tear or bleeding, but a contracture of the scarred area of the previous injury.

He hopes to be able to compete in front of his children at the 2017 World Championships in London. “That would be a good send-off. Down the road from where I grew up. Whether it’s the 100m, or the relay, that would be the holy-grail for me”
