8/22 T&F Results and Summary

Gatlin wins 100m; Kastor takes bronze in marathon

ATHENS - Justin Gatlin was crowned king of the Olympic sprinters Sunday in the fastest men's 100m final in Olympic history as Team USA had a brilliant performance at Olympic Stadium. Adding to the medal haul that was topped by the 22-year-old Gatlin's gold were bronze medals for Maurice Greene in the 100 meters and Deena Kastor in the women's marathon, and a silver medal for Matt Hemingway in the men's high jump.

The men's 100 could not have been closer, more hyped, or more surprising. As the field of eight stepped on the track, flash bulbs popped, the crowd chattered excitedly, and music blared. Greene did his traditional, pre-race stalking as Gatlin (Raleigh, N.C.) shouted to Crawford while the duo walked down the straightaway. In the meantime, Jamaican Asafa Powell - considered by many to be the favorite after twice beating Greene this year and looking frighteningly easy in the rounds - lay prone in front of his starting blocks.

When the gun went off, Gatlin surged immediately to the lead. He never relinquished his advantage - although it was close - finishing in a personal-best, world-leading time of 9.85 seconds. Francis Obikwelu of Portugal held second position throughout the race and finished just .01 behind Gatlin in 9.86 seconds, while Greene won the second 100m medal of his career at 9.87 seconds for bronze, using a strong final 50 meters to nearly win the race. The capacity crowd was equally awestruck by the close finish as they were by Shawn Crawford (4th in 9.89) and Powell (5th in 9.94) being kept off the medal stand. It was the first time in Olympic history that five men dipped under 10 seconds.

With his win, Gatlin ushered in the next wave of young male sprinters, just as 20-year-old Lauryn Williams had done Saturday night in winning the women's 100m silver. Several under-25 U.S. athletes are set to compete in finals in coming days, offering that the trend should continue to gain momentum.

Stirring performance by Kastor

A 15-minute cab ride away at Panathinaiko Stadium, Deena Kastor (Mammoth Lakes, Calif.) started the evening on an emotional high note. Sobbing with joy 100 meters from the finish line, she took the bronze medal in the women's marathon in a race that was nothing short of remarkable. It was the first medal of the night for Team USA and was just the second women's marathon medal in Olympic history for an American, following Joan Benoit-Samuelson's gold at the 1984 Olympic Games. Fittingly, the second American medal at the distance went to the woman who in 2003 eclipsed Samuelson's American record in the event.

Kastor perfectly executed a marathon race plan that was tailored specifically for the brutally hot, sunny conditions. Beginning conservatively as the race began at 6 p.m. in Marathon, Kastor passed through the first 5 km in 28th place, in 17:19. From there it was nowhere but up. At 10 km, she was 17th (24:58); at 15 km she was 15th (53:27), and at the half-marathon, she was 12th at 1:15:40 - on pace to run a 2:31:20 marathon.

But a 2:31:20 marathon was not in Kastor's game plan. As the sun went down, her pace picked up. She was 11th at 25 km (1:29:33), 8th at 30 km (1:47:13) and 6th at 35 km (2:04:15) - and suddenly a medal was possible.

Two hours, 23 minutes and 25 seconds into the race, she overtook Elfenesh Alemu of Ethiopia to move into third. As impressive as her bronze-medal finshed was that Kastor looked powerful, fast and fresh in conditions that left world record holder Paula Radcliffe and 15 other runners wilted by the heat and on the DNF list.

Kastor crossed the finish line in 2:27:20, exactly 40 seconds faster than her target time of 2:28. Mizuki Noguchi of Japan won the gold in 2:26:20, with Catherine Ndereba of Kenya second at 2:26:32. American Jen Rhines (Ardmore, Pa.) was 34th in 2:43:52, and Colleen de Reuck (Boulder, Colo.) was 39th in 2:46:30.

Hemingway comes close to gold

The men's high jump was just as dramatic. Matt Hemingway (Littleton, Colo.), the 2000 USA indoor champion, found himself in first place throughout the entire competition, jumping without misses. He successfully cleared 2.20m/7-2.5 and 2.25m/7-4.5 on his first attempts, then passed at 2.29m/7-6. His first try at 2.34m/7-7.25 also was successful, keeping him up on the world's top jumper, Stefan Holm of Sweden who had two misses at the height, as well as a miss at 2.32. At 2.36m/7-8, it was Holm who prevailed, clearing on his first attempt while Hemingway missed three times.

Olympic Trials champion Jamie Nieto (Chula Vista, Calif.) came extraordinarily close to the medal stand as well. He matched Hemingway's best jump, as well as that of bronze medalist Jaraslav Baba of the Czech Republic, at 2.34m/7-7.25. But Nieto had one miss at the height while Hemingway and Baba were over on their first try. Had Holm failed to clear 2.36, Hemingway would have had the gold and Nieto the bronze.

In Sunday's other final with U.S. athletes, Kenta Bell (Chula Vista, Calif.) was ninth in the men's triple jump with a best mark of 16.90m/55-5.5, and Walter Davis (Baton Rouge, La.) was 11th at 16.78m/55-0.75.

Team USA will have three women in Tuesday's Olympic 400m final for the first time since 1988, thanks to Sunday's semifinal performances by Monique Hennagan (Stockbridge, Calif.), 21-year-old Dee Dee Trotter (Knoxville, Tenn.) and 19-year-old Sanya Richards (Austin, Texas). Olympic Trials champion Hennagan ran the fastest time of the three semifinal races, winning heat 3 in 49.88 seconds. Trotter was second in heat 2 to automatically qualify in 50.14 seconds, while Richards qualified on time, placing third in heat 1 in 50.54.

In Sunday's other semifinal, Olympic Trials champion Sheena Johnson (21, Los Angeles) and Trials runner-up Brenda Taylor (Chula Vista, Calif.) placed third and fourth, respectively, in the first heat of the women's 400m hurdles and will compete in Wednesday's final. Johnson was clocked in 54.32 with Taylor at 55.02. LaShinda Demus (Columbia, S.C.) was fifth in the second semifinal in 54.32 and did not advance.

Melissa Morrison (Columbia, S.C.) won her quarterfinal heat in the women's 100m hurdles in 12.76 seconds, and Joanna Hayes did likewise in her race, in 12.71, to advance to Monday's semifinal round. Three-time world champion Gail Devers, nursing a tender left calf entering the race, endured a severe strain of her calf warming up in Olympic Stadium. She came out of the blocks in heat 5, but did not make it to the first hurdle, sliding to the ground.

Grant Robison (Mountain View, Calif.) was 12th in his 1,500m semifinal round in 3:47.03 and did not advance to the final.

In wheelchair races, American Scot Hollonbeck was fourth in the men's 1,500 meters (3:11.49) and Cheri Blauwet was fifth in the women's 800m (1:54.22).

Sunday Team USA quotes

MEN'S 100M FINAL

Justin Gatlin (Raleigh, N.C.)

"It means the world to me. This is the reason why I'm here - to win a gold medal This is what I trained for, it's why I shoveled snow off the North Carolina track, that's why I'm here, to win the gold medal. That's what I did tonight."

"I burst into tears before I even started running"

"I couldn't even feel the race. I felt like I was 100 miles before everybody. It was so close, but that's what it felt like."

"I don't think I ran a flawless race, I don't think [Crawford] ran a flawless race. I think we can go 9.7"

"The young guys, young women, all of us are taking over. Watch out, we're coming."

"I really didn't see Maurice's race, with him being so far away from me in lane 7. But I can say Maurice is a great competitor he's one of the best competitors I know. So I just want to show that he's Olympic champion before, and He was a world record holder and much respect to him and everybody else in the race."

Maurice Greene (Granada Hills, Calif.)

"It's been a long road from where I've been. And to come back here and compete the way I have, I'm still happy. Even though I didn't get the gold medal. I'll be back."

"I couldn't feel Shawn and (the Portugal guy) over in the middle I didn't know where they were. So maybe that was the cause of me not getting the gold medal but that's no excuse."

"The young guys, they ran good, but you know what, I'm not gone yet."

Are you still the Greatest of All Time?

"Of course. My stats speak for themselves. I have numerous things that I've accomplished and I don't think there's another sprinter out there that's accomplished the things I have. I'm making it hard for the next person to come along and to do things better than me. I'm making it hard for them. So until then, I'll be the greatest."

Shawn Crawford (Raleigh, N.C.) -

On Gatlin:

"He ran a personal best. He ran the race of his life and I was proud to help push him to that and I know he's going to carry that title of Olympic Gold medalist in the 100 with honor and dignity. I know it."

"My race was terrible. My start was terrible. But hey, that happens. It's happened a lot this year. Up and down, up and down."

On what he said to Gatlin crossing the line in the semifinal:

"C'mon boy!"

On what he said to Gatlin after the final:

"I said to you realize what you just did?...I don't know [what he said] he just started crying or something. He was just so happy, he won. He's the 2004 Olympic gold medalist. It's hard to put words to that. He couldn't really respond, just tears of joy came out of his eyes."

On the atmosphere before the race:

"Tension? There wasn't any tension for me, they were playing Greek music and people were dancing. I don't think there was any tension."

"I'm not a fortune teller, I don't know what's going to happen before the race but I knew that both of us came in here and we were in great condition and I knew there was other competitors in the field that were in great condition to win and it was going to come down to whoever was the guy to execute from start to finish. Justin was the guy to execute and he came out on top."

On the possibility of winning:

"We talked about it all year. We knew it was going to be one of us all year, we knew that. I don't tell the future but we knew that. It was going to be me or him to win that gold medal. I didn't win it and he did."

On bringing out the best in Gatlin:

"I let Justin be Justin and you know me, I'm going to act like myself. There's no telling what I'm going to do. Justin's a great guy."

WOMEN'S MARATHON FINAL

"I'm thrilled. It was almost a perfect race for me. Yes, it was hot, but I felt strong. I'm so sweaty and so happy.

"When I entered the stadium, I didn't know if I was in fourth place or third. When I heard the announcer say third, I burst into tears. I couldn't control myself. With the course and the history, it's all just wonderful."

MEN'S HIGH JUMP FINAL

Matt Hemingway (Littleton, Colo.), silver meda1, 2.35m/7-7.25: "I knew at the Olympic Trials that I was in great shape and I was ready to go. It was just a matter of putting it together. I knew what it would take to win. It would take a bold move, and that was passing at 2.29 (7-6). [Gold medallist Stefan] Holm wasn't expecting me, so I just had to have focus. I tried to stay focused on jumping the bar and not the competition. I just was on."

On Holm: "My hat's off to Holm. He pulled it out when he had to do it. That's gutsy. He did a good job. I did the best I could do. My shoe company custom designed new shoes for me that I got four days ago, and they have been awesome."

On close family friend Chuck Chichowitz of Buena Vista, Colo., attending the final: "My dad died four years ago yesterday. The guy that was his best friend [Chichowitz] called me after the prelims and said if I could get tickets for the final, he would come over here. They got here four or five hours ago. He's like a dad to me. To have him here, his son, my mom, sister and wife ... Mike Gilbert, who got me back into this craziness ... Cliff [Rovelto, his coach] ... it's really special."

Jamie Nieto (Chula Vista, Calif.), finished fourth in finals (2.34m/7-7.25): "To come out here and jump personal best (7-8) it's a blessing. I really wanted to be on that medal stand. You don't know how bad fourth place sucks until you get fourth place. My medal was in my hands. I really want to cry. I thought I was going to clear that last jump. I don't know how I hit it. It was a great attempt, but great attempts only get you fourth place. I'm going back to San Diego practice real hard and win the world championships. That's my goal."

WOMEN'S 100 HURDLES ROUND 1

Melissa Morrison (Columbia, S.C.), winner in heat 1 (12.76): "I wanted to cruise through first round and conserve as much energy as I could going into tomorrow. Tomorrow I will have really go out because of the semifinal and I think I did exactly what I wanted to do today. I felt really good physically. I had very good start. My first two hurdles were good and I just maintained what I did coming out of the blocks. It was a very easy round and that is what I wanted to accomplish just to get through as easy as possible.

"Me having to win through the rounds is going to boost my confidence. Me getting here is confidence enough...just getting through the rounds and getting to the finals is what matters. I'm going to give it all in the finals and see what happens."

Joanna Hayes (Los Angeles, Calif.) winner in heat 4 (12:71): "I wanted to get out and get a good start. I felt really good. I was sleeping before the run so that is why I was jumping around before the run. I felt really relaxed, maybe too relaxed. I felt I could have kicked it up a little more. I felt a little flat, but that will come. My body feels good. The track feels a little hard. I would love to have train on this track because they feel a little different. My mom (Arlene Hayes) and my dad (Isaac Hayes) are here and they are probably more excited than me at this point."

Gail Devers (Decatur, Ga.) dnf heat 5:

On her re-injuring her strained left calf at Olympic Stadium, warming up: "I heard it pop. I jumped up and tried not to scream because I knew the cameras were on me. Everybody has the own obstacles to overcome. Even when I had Graves disease, half my family didn't know. This is mine to deal with. I tried to play it off. I was just hoping to get through the first round, to tell the truth.

"Coming out on the practice track before I came out here, it was feeling a little tighter than I wanted to feel. I tried to block it out of my mind. I came out [to the Stadium], the first time over a hurdle [in warm-up] it popped and then it pulled downward. I knew the cameras were watching and I just tried to limp back. I was pulling and I just said, 'I'm going to run.' I said in my head, I'm tougher than it is and I don't care if it's pulling, I'm gonna go.

"The gun went off, I went out, when I put my foot in flexion to go over the hurdle, it pulled again. For some reason I ended up under the hurdle and on the ground. ... I knew before I got in the blocks that it was gone already. My head said 'I'm running if it's going to pull 10 times in the race, it's gonna have to pull.

On running the 100 earlier in the meet: "It's easier in the 100 because it's consistent motion. It's pushing off in the hurdles that's the problem. I knew the 100 was my best bet to get through the Games at all. I didn't think it would pull again, I just thought I would feel scar tissue breaking up."

On her legacy: "The lesson I learned is, you have to be tough. If you set a goal for yourself and keep the dream alive, nobody can stop you. It does not mean you have to be number one. That doesn't have to mean that you'll get to what other people think is excellence. That's the gold medal that everybody says has eluded me. Do I think I'm a failure? I'm nowhere near being a failure, because what god has blessed me with is endurance and mental strength. Regardless of obstacles I'm faced with I'm going to conquer them. I believe I conquered them tonight just getting out there and trying when I already knew it was gone. My career is not over. I'm here, I'm alive. I'm not healthy, but I'm live. I've been blessed."

Team USA Women's Head Coach Sue Humphrey: "I saw Gail warm up and did three hurdles. It didn't seem to be a problem. This (potential medal in event) was the one I wanted for her."

MEN'S TRIPLE JUMP FINAL

Walter Davis (Baton Rouge, La.), 11th (16.78m/55-0.75): " I don't feel good. I just couldn't get my approach down. When you have trouble with your technique and the runway. I have been having trouble in the last couple of meets with my technique. I guess I was too excited. I was not going through the routine. I thought 2000 was an experience so I have to put this behind me and focus on the long jump in two days. I am feeling fine. I just had trouble today. It is disappointing."

Kenta Bell (Chula Vista, Calif.), 9th in triple jump (16.90m/55-5.50): " I can't say what I want to say. I am very disappointed. I trained for more and I didn't do what I wanted to."

MEN'S 1500 SEMIFINAL ROUND

Grant Robison (Mountain View, Calif.) finished 12th in semifinal 1 (3:47.03): "It went out a little faster than we planned on. It was an awesome experience just being out there. I was just glad for the chance to run here. I wasn't too surprised about the race. I've been injured a lot this year. I wasn't able to compete like I would liked to in that kind of a race."

WOMEN'S 400 SEMIFINAL ROUND

Sanya Richards (Austin, Texas) finished third in Semifinal 1 (50.54), qualified on time: "I felt good coming out and hopefully I'll get another opportunity to run. I wasn't feeling it today. I felt good coming home yesterday. I felt in control. Today I didn't feel that. I ran the first half of the race like yesterday but I didn't have the legs under me this time."

DeeDee Trotter (Knoxville, Tenn.), 2nd in Semifinal 2 (50.14): I feel like I have a lot left. I let up a little bit for qualifying purposes. I feel great. I feel good and I feel like I am at the top of my game right now. Tuesday is going to be very interesting. I am very excited and I am going to have a good race."

Monique Hennagan (Stockbridge, Calif.) first in Semifinal 3, fastest qualifier (49.88): "I thought I was going to have one of the easier heats and in order to get a good lane for the final I had to win my heat. I went out there and did what I needed to do so I will have a good lane for the finals. I am going for the gold. I felt comfortable, but I was racing the whole time. I am so excited to have two other Americans in the finals."

WOMEN'S 400 HURDLES SEMIFINAL ROUND

Sheena Johnson (Los Angeles), third in semifinal 1 (54.32): "I ran the first part of the race like I wanted to."

Brenda Taylor (Chula Vista, Calif.), qualified fourth in first heat in semifinal 1 (55.02): "I didn't see the other runner on the outside. I didn't want it to be that close. I really wanted to qualify first or second and it was closer than I wanted. You learn from the early races, but you're just thinking about qualifying. I know I have to come out faster in the finals. That's the plan."

Lashinda Demus (Columbia, S.C.), fifth in semifinal 2 (54.32): "I don't feel good at all. I should have at least made the finals. I got fatigued coming off he curve. I was running hard. I could tell she was coming up behind me because of the crowd. I felt fine coming into the race. I am trying to hold back my anger for not making the finals. I am better than that."
