Golden Gala Pietro Mennea, Roma, 4 June 2015, results from IAAF

Amos, Aman, one week apart, same results, photo by PhotoRun.net

The Golden Gala Pietro Mennea had some fine performances within the Stadio Olimpico in the eternal city that is Rome.

Justin Gatlin just ran away from everyone, running a MR of 9.74. Yomif Kejelcha lead five runners under 13 minutes for 5000 meters. Pedro Pichardo leaped 17.96m, which is pedestrian if one judges from his two forays over 18 meters. Renaud Lavillenie showed that, yes, he is human with his 5.91m clearance.

In the women’s 1,500m, Sifan Hassan got the better of Jenny Simpson, who dueled with Hassan and Dawit Seyaum. In a preview of the Beijing final, Hassan ran 3:58.68 to Simpson’s 3:59.31 to 3:59.76!
