Some fine performances in Karlsruhe, Germany, at the first IAAF World Tour on 3 February. My highlights of the meet:
1. Raphael Holzdeppe, clears 5.88m PB! WTF? Oh, it is odd year so may be good for Raphael. Holzdeppe is a fine vaulter, but, well, mercurial. This guy won the World Champs in 2013 in Moscow, always dangerous. Hope to see him vault higher! Holzdeppe defeated
2. Su Bingtian, what a nice opener for the 60 meters! 6.47 for Su Bingtian, after a 6.53 first round. Watch Su Bingtian this season. This guy has sub 10 second 100 meter endurance and his start, is well, very good!
3. Lea Sprunger, won the 400 meters in 52.03. The former heptathlete, now 400m hurdler is looking quite good this early in the season. Sprunger, who is quite tall, runs well on the 200 meter track and has the strength to get through rounds and then, run a fast final.
4. Genzebe Dibaba, in the rarefied indoor air, Genzebe ran 3:57.45, the second fastest women all time, and only her in front of the numero deux team. Who will battle her indoors? Could be fascinating double in Birmingham!
