USATF SUMMARY DAY 6

200m men sweep top four spots, Perry, Davis win gold, Walker silver at World Championships

HELSINKI, Finland - Team USA athletes put on a remarkable performance Thursday night in sweeping the top four spots in the men's 200 meters and winning a total of six medals on a cold and windy night at the 2005 World Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Helsinki.

Gatlin, Spearmon, Capel & Gay sweep top four places in men's 200 meters

Justin Gatlin, Wallace Spearmon, John Capel and Tyson Gay put on an unprecedented display of dominance in the men's 200m final Thursday night by sweeping the top four places in an event for the first time in World Outdoor Championships history.

2005 World Outdoor 100m champion Justin Gatlin (Raleigh, N.C.) became the first to win both the 100 and 200 meters at a world outdoor championships since Maurice Greene turned the trick in 1999. Gatlin led his three U.S. teammates across the finish line to win in 20.04 seconds, with Spearmon (Fayetteville, Ark.) wining the silver medal in 20.20, and Capel (Gainesville, Fla.) capturing the bronze medal in 20.31. Tyson Gay (Fayetteville, Ark.) finished in fourth place in 20.34.

With his win Thursday night, Gatlin joins fellow Americans Calvin Smith (1987-20.16), Michael Johnson (1991-20.01, 1995-19.79), Greene (1999-19.90) and Capel (2003-20.30) as U.S. world outdoor 200m champions.

Perry wins 100m hurdles gold

An Olympic heptathlete in 2004, Michelle Perry (Los Angeles) made the switch to the 100m hurdles and has been the best in the world all season, culminating with her gold medal winning performance on a cold and windy evening in at the 2005 World Outdoor Championships in Helsinki.

Perry was smooth over the hurdles throughout and won the gold medal decisively in 12.66 seconds. Jamaica's Delloreen Ennis-London was the runner-up in 12.76 seconds, with her countrywoman Brigitte Foster-Hylton winning the bronze medal, also in 12.76 seconds.

2004 Olympic gold medalist Joanna Hayes hit the ninth hurdle hard before running directly into the final hurdle. She kept on her feet to finish the race in 13.57 seconds.

Perry, who entered the Championships owning four of the top five times in the world this season, posted the fastest time globally this year of 12.43 seconds in winning the USA Outdoor title in June. Perry is the first American woman to win 100m hurdles world championships gold since Anjanette Kirkland in 2001. Gail Devers won the event for Team USA in 1993, 1995 and 1999.

Davis wins triple jump gold medal

A two-time Olympian and the 2003 world indoor silver medalist, Walter Davis (Baton Rouge, La.) soared to a seasonal best in winning the men's triple jump gold medal at Olympic Stadium.

Davis' winning hop, skip and jump occurred in the third round when he took the lead for good by sailing 17.57 meters/57 feet, 7.75 inches. Cuba's Yoandri Betanzos won the silver medal with a best of 17.42m/57-2, with Marian Oprea of Romania picking up the bronze with a best of 17.40.

2005 USA Outdoor Championships runner-up Kenta Bell (Davenport, Fla.) had a best effort of 17.11m/56-1.75 to finish in seventh place.

Walker wins pole vault silver medal

On a difficult night for pole vaulting with windy and cold conditions, Brad Walker (Seattle, Wash.) kept his concentration through a series of misses to win the silver medal.

After two misses at his opening height of 5.50m/18-0.50, Walker cleared on his third attempt prior to missing his first try at 5.65m/18-6.50, before clearing on his second attempt. Walker missed once before clearing the bar at 5.75m/18-10.25, and at that point the gold medal would be decided between himself and Rens Blom of The Netherlands.

Bloom soared over the bar on his first attempt at 5.80m/19-0.25. Walker missed his first attempt at that height before passing and missing twice at 5.85m/19-2.25, as Bloom won the gold.

The 2005 USA Indoor and Outdoor champion, Walker established his personal best of 5.90m/19-4.25 earlier in June. Walker is the first American to win a medal in this event since 2000 Olympic gold medalist Nick Hysong took home the bronze in 2001.

The 2005 USA Outdoor Championships runner-up, Hysong (Phoenix, Ariz.) finished fifth this evening with a clearance of 5.50m/16-7.

Boone-Smith, Colander, Felix advance in 200 meters

2005 USA Outdoor Championships runner-up Rachelle Boone-Smith (Norfolk, Va.), 2004 Olympian LaTasha Colander (Columbia, S.C.) and 2004 Olympic 200m silver medalist Allyson Felix (Los Angeles) each made it through the women's 200m semifinals with little difficulty.

In the first semi, Boone-Smith finished as the runner-up, with Colander placing third with both timed across the finish line in 22.69 seconds. In the second semifinal, Felix finished first in 22.90 running into a -4.0 meters per second headwind. All will move on to Friday night's final.

All four Team USA men's hurdlers advance to final

Four-time world outdoor champion Allen Johnson (Irmo, S.C.) kept his "drive for five" alive by posting the fastest time of anyone in the men's 110m semifinals at Olympic Stadium.

Johnson won the third heat in 13.23 seconds to advance to Friday evening's final. He'll be joined there by two-time Olympic silver medalist Terrence Trammell (Ellenwood, Ga.), who won heat 2 in 13.31 seconds. In making his first World Outdoor Championships team this year, two-time Big Ten champion Joel Brown (Columbus, Ohio) qualified for the final by placing fourth in heat 3 in 13.43.

Another first-timer on a world outdoor championships team, Dominique Arnold (Diamond Bar, Calif.) finished second in heat 1 in 13.39 to move on to the final.

Robinson, Krummenacker move on to 800m semis

2005 USA Outdoor champion and 2004 Olympian Khadevis Robinson (Santa Monica, Calif.) and 2003 world indoor champion David Krummenacker each ran well in Thursday evening's 800m qualifying heats and will compete in the final Sunday night.

Robinson finished third in heat 2 in 1:46.74, with Krummenacker finishing as the runner-up in heat 4 in 1:47.82. Kevin Hicks (Tallahassee, Fla.), who placed third at this summer's USA Nationals, did not qualify for the final after placing seventh in the sixth heat in 1:50.00.

Glover, Demus move on to 400m hurdles final

After ending the 2004 season ranked #1 in the world in the women's 400m hurdles, Sandra Glover (Sugarland, Texas) finished third at the 2005 USA Outdoor Championships at Carson, Calif. Friday night, Glover got off to a good start in the second semifinal and won it in 54.16 seconds to advance to Saturday evening's final.

2005 USA Outdoor champion Lashinda Demus (Columbia, S.C.) ran well out of lane 6 in the third semifinal to finish as the runner-up in 55.00 seconds. 2005 USA Nationals runner-up Shauna Smith (Laramie, Wyo.) placed seventh in the first semi (55.97) and will not advance.

Elsewhere, 2005 USA Outdoor Championships 5,000m third place finisher Ryan Hall (Palo Alto, Calif.), and this year's national runner-up Ian Dobson (Palo Alto, Calif.) each ran in the first men's 5,000m semifinals Thursday night.

Hall grabbed the lead 1,000 meters into the contest before drifting back into the main pack with Dobson, who stayed in that position until right after the bell sounded signifying the final lap. Dobson finished the race in 10th place in 13 minutes, 27.16 seconds, with Hall placing16th in 13:59.86.

In the second heat, Tim Broe (Ann Arbor, Mich.) ran 13:51.17 to place 14th.

IAAF Story - Michelle Perry (ex-Quartz Hill - UCLA)

Barber’s cheerleader wins through – Michelle Perry
Thursday 11 August 2005

Helsinki, Finland - Ah, choices. Isn’t it great to have them? Michelle Perry is sure glad she made the right one this season in focusing on the 100m hurdles rather than the Heptathlon - her previous specialty. Tonight she left Helsinki Olympic stadium as the World 100m Hurdles champion, a gold medal around her neck and $60,000 US prize. Who’d have thought, eh?

The 26-year-old UCLA graduate has trained for the past two years with 2003 World Heptathlon champion Eunice Barber of France in southern California but a hyper fast race over the hurdles got her thinking, wait a minute, maybe there’s a choice!

A personal preference

“After New York I ran really well there,” she recalls, “and basically we were still in the process of preparing for the Heptathlon. And my coach was like ‘you have got to make a decision' And I was like, ‘I don’t know what to do And he was like ‘It’s your choice.' so I called him and said ‘I think I am going to stick with the Hurdles this year.’

That day she ran an incredible 12.45 seconds, a time that would have been the fastest time in the world had she not surpassed it in winning the US championships in 12.43. Upon arriving in Helsinki she owned four of the five fastest times of the year. So it was an easy choice to make. This early success in the hurdles wasn’t the only factor.

“In the Heptathlon you don’t have too many days where you feel good and so when I stopped training for the Heptathlon I had days where I actually would go to the track and I was like "you know my back doesn’t hurt today, my hamstring doesn’t hurt.'” she remembers. “So it was good to actually go to practice and have days where you feel like, you know, I can run well today" whereas in the Pent and Heptathlon every day is a battle.”

But a Combined Event fan still

During the epic Heptathlon battle between Barber and the eventual victor Caroline Klüft, Perry was glued to her television set and her neighbours would surely have known where her loyalties lay.

“I was watching it in the hotel the first two days,” she admits. “I was Eunice’s cheerleader so I was really excited for her I thought she was going to pull it out and I was screaming at the 800m ‘run faster.’ It didn’t happen for her. I trained with the the last two years in the heptathlon and she is really an inspiration to me, as far as the field events. She is a great competitor. She helps me as far as being a better competitor and just going out and being fierce.”

Irresistible humour

If first impressions are everything it doesn’t take long to like Michelle Perry. Talented and possessing an effervescent personality, she admits to being anxious the night before her gold medal race. You have no choice but to laugh along as she recounts the stress she placed on herself on the eve of her greatest victory - thus far.

“Ok, let me just tell you I haven’t eaten since breakfast this morning,” she says laughing. “And last night it took me until 2:30 to go to sleep and I was just talking to whoever would talk to me so I wouldn’t think about the race.

But now of course it’s over. I feel better. But last night I was kind of antsy. Monique Hennigan was my roommate. I was talking to her all night and she was going, 'Go to sleep.' “

Returning to the heptathlon next year

Perry says she plans to return to the Heptathlon next year. A year ago she finished 14th in the Athens Olympics with a score of 6124 and would like to improve upon that score. Meanwhile, she has become a hurdling enthusiast this season seemingly enjoying the exceptional level of competition offered.

“I think it is because there are a lot of girls that have personal bests in the ‘40's’. And then Joanna (Hayes) is the only woman who has gone in the ‘30's’ other than Gail Devers, and she is not competing this year,” Perry explains. “This year everyone was running fast and it was anyone’s race. It was just the person who put the right race together at the right time.”

With the intensity of competition come peak performances. A couple of European meets are on the cards. Her agent Emmanuel Hudson is working on those right now and this young woman has set some pretty lofty goals.

“Once I start running well I set my goals at the World record,” she declares without a hint of doubt, “and now its just like if I achieve it I achieve it. And if I don’t I gave 100% to get there.”

IAAF Summary Day 6 - World Championships

Helsinki 2005 – Highlights, Day 6
Thursday 11 August 2005

Helsinki, Finland - Day Six of the 10th IAAF World Championships in Athletics saw the third full house of noisy enthusiastic spectators since it began last Saturday (6).

The evening also brought more success for the Americans; Justin Gatlin won the sprint double, only the second time this has been done in the history of the Championships, Michelle Perry won the women’s 100m Hurdles, and Walter Davis won the Triple Jump. The US team now has nine golds, with more to come, and it’s looking reminiscent of their domination of the sport when these championships were inaugurated in 1983.

Gatlin secures sprint titles at the double

Gatlin emulated his feat in the US Championships when he added the 200 metres to the 100 gold he won last weekend. His US ‘double’ was the first time in 20 years. This one was the first and only one since Maurice Greene in 1999. Last night’s race was dominated by the US quartet, Gatlin winning in 20.03, and being followed home by Wallace Spearmon in 20.20, defending champion John Capel in 20.31, and Tyson Gay in 20.41.

As it was for Greene, when he did it in Seville, it was further confirmation for Gatlin of his status as the great sprint competitor of the era. There remains the little matter of the World 100 metres record, which was taken by Asafa Powell of Jamaica, with his 9.77 three months ago. Thus far, Powell has failed to figure in the major championships, being disqualified for a false start in the Paris World Championships two-years ago, then finishing fifth in the Olympics, when he was considered favourite. A groin injury prevented him competing here, but when he is fit and well, hopefully before the end of the season, the Golden League circuit promises some fierce sprint clashes.

Pole Vault – a Netherlands first

So, nine golds so far for the US team, and it looked like ten, when Brad Walker cleared 5.75 metres in the Pole Vault. But we had reckoned without Rens Blom of the Netherlands. He cleared 5.75 at his second attempt, and then went over 5.80 at his first. Walker could not respond, and the Netherlands had its first ever world champion.

Delight and Disaster – 100m Hurdles

There was delight and disaster in equal measure for the Americans in the women’s high hurdles. Former heptathlete, and fastest of the year, Michelle Perry had built up a marginal advantage towards the end of the race, but Olympic champion, Joanna Hayes overstretched herself in trying to get on terms. She clipped the penultimate hurdle, crashed into the final one, and carried it almost to the line, which she collapsed across in tears. Perry won in 12.66, with the Jamaicans, Delloreen Ennis-London and Brigitte Foster-Hylton second and third in the same time, 12.76.

Edwards’ prediction

Walter Davis’ best performance in these championships was fifth in Edmonton 2001, but World record holder, Jonathon Edwards always reckoned that Davis was one of the men he feared. That estimation was borne out when Davis leapt out to 17.57 metres in round three of the Triple Jump. Yoandri Bezantzos of Cuba responded with 17.42 in round four, and repeated in round six. That confirmed his silver, with Romanian Marian Oprea’s last ditch effort of 17.40m in round six was only good enough for bronze.

Dietzch’s two decades of consistency pays off

Franka Dietzch’s victory in the women’s Discus Throw was a triumph for tenacity. The German has been at the top since she won silver at the World Junior Championships in 1986. During the past 20 years, she has competed in all sorts of conditions, and that experience proved a boon last night. The wind and rain mattered little to Dietzch, proof of which was that four of her throws, with her best at 66.56 metres, were better than the 64.33 metres which won silver for Olympic champion Natalya Sadova of Russia. Vera Pospisilova-Cechlova of the Czech Republic won bronze with 63.19 metres.
