2017 ISATFBerlin…wow, Merritt wins, 600m World Best by Semenya, 1,500m by Klosterhalfen

In it’s 76th year, in the historic Berlin Olympic stadium, the ISTAF Berlin meet was one of the finest meets in the world in 2017.

From Aries Merritt’s win in the 100m hurdles, to Sam Kendricks, Piotr Lisek and Renaud Lavillenie battling in the pole vault, to Caster Semanya’s World Best at 600 meters, a fast 1,500m by Konstanze Klosterhalfen, and a nice second by Eilish McColgan.

I loved the Berlin Stadium when I visited in 2009, and I have ISTAF indoor and outdoor on my bucket list.

Here’s the full results!
