Mayo and Belt win silver in Beijing -
Vicky Oddi for USATF.org
BEIJING, China - Gabby Mayo (Raleigh, N.C.) and Antone Belt (Berkeley Springs,
W.V.) won the first medals for Team USA on day two at the 2006 IAAF World Junior
Championships at the Chaoyang Sport Centre in Beijing.
After a roughstart, 2006 U.S. Junior 200m champion Gabby Mayo had
a tremendous finish to claim the silver medal in the women's 100 meter
final, inching out Carrie Russell of Jamaica who took third, both with
a time of 11.42 seconds. "I'm very happy I got second, it's so
exciting," said Mayo. 2006 U.S. Junior champion Alexandria Anderson
was fifth in 11.49.
Antone Belt, a freshman at the University of Louisville, brought home
the silver medal with his personal best leap of 7.95 meters/26 feet
1 inch. Belt sat in second for most of the competition until gold medalist
Robert Crowther of Australia, who had been sitting in third, surpassed
Belt on his fifth attempt, pushing him into third position. Belt immediately
responded with his best leap of the night which put him back into the
second position, where he stayed for the remainder of the competition.
2006. U.S. Junior champion Tori Anthony (Palo Alto, Calif.) advanced
to Friday's final in the women's pole vault with her clearance of 4.0
meters/13 feet 1.5 inches. "I am so excited," Anthony said
of her performance. "I had two goals: to make the final and to
set a big personal record. One down, one to go."
In the men's hammer throw, American junior record holder Walter Henning
(South Huntington, N.Y.) hit the automatic qualifier on his third attempt

first round," said Henning. "But I'm not disappointed. Knowing
that I am in the finals, I can sleep good tonight."
Both Chris Carter (Ogden, Utah) and Joe Greene (Geneva, N.Y.), the
2006 U.S. Junior champion and runner-up respectively, will move on

World Junior Champs, Day 2 – AM session summary
Wednesday 16 August 2006
Beijing, China - The second morning session of the 11th edition of
the IAAF World Junior Championships got underway in hot and humid conditions
at the Chaoyang Sport Centre.
Oosthuizen- impressive qualification
Despite the oppressive warmth there was a stiff breeze blowing in the
direction of the finish line which while offering some physical comfort
for the athletes
in the men’s Javelin Throw qualification round - which commenced the
morning’s programme - caused some technical problems especially for the
first group of athletes. Thus it was no surprise that six of the eight athletes
who were able to manage the automatic entry level for the final (70.00m) came
from the second pool of throwers.
Struggling for his first two attempts by his usual standard was world
season leader Ari Mannio of Finland who had to wait until a 74.17m
third effort to proceed to the final. Ultimately it was to be the second
best mark of the morning and topped Group “A”. By contrast
John Robert Oosthuizen’s opening 78.42m which secured top spot
in the “B” pool was a beautiful release - the second best
of his career - and had the South African already changing back into
his tracksuit for the rest of the day as the official’s were
measuring his effort.
Britain’s James Campbell produced a lifetime best on his third
throw of 73.18m to become the third furthest thrower of the morning,
while eleventh of the qualifiers, Leslie Copeland of Fiji, set a national
junior record (69.62m).
Volik - qualfied
What for the spearmen what was a tricky headwind was a potentially
even worse cross wind for the women’s pole vaulters in their
qualification round at the opposite end of the stadium where they approached
the uprights across the top of the infield jumping fan. Thankfully
though the vaulters found themselves com competing near enough to a
small spectator tribune to be largely sheltered from the wind by the
stadium wall, and as such eleven of the twelve finalists for Friday’s
final (18) made the automatic qualification of 4.00.
Of the finalists, Russia’s Valeriya Volik, 16, the World Youth
record breaker, who is slated to be the next Isinbayeva, took her first
three heights on the first try (3.80, 3.90, 3.95) and made 4.00m on
her second approach. With a clean jumping card through four heights
(3.60, 3.80, 3.95, 4.00), was the qualification leader Ling Li of China.
Slow paced races
In the intense heat, the 400m Hurdles heats were taken steadily by
the athletes, with the Netherlands’ Marius Kranendonk (51.40)
the fastest of the first round winners. The men’s 3000m Steeplechase
opening round was also contested with Willy Rutto Komen of Kenya the
best of two equally conservatively paced races.
Garcia on top after three events
In the men’s Decathlon, after two events China’s Hengjun
Zhu (1750pts) has the lead after a 10.91 100m and a 7.23m Long Jump.
Back in sixth is the current world season junior leader, Arkadiy Vasilyev
of Russia (1702). World Youth champion Yordanis Garcia of Cuba was
the fastest overall in the 100m (10.80 seconds) but a 6.80m Long Jump
which while near his PB (6.86) wasn’t up to the ability of his
older opponents, and left him in overall eighth (1673).
The situation changed dramatically back in Garcia’s favour after
the third event, the Shot Put, when he powered his implement to a new
personal best of 16.51m (883pts), the best put of the competition to
give him overall first place (883pts). Vasilyev, put the next best
mark (15.65m; 830pts) for second, with Jordan Vandermade of New Zealand,
third (2532pts) thanks to 10.86 second, 7.16m, and 14.97m efforts.
Championship record in Hammer
There was one major upset in the men’s Hammer Throw qualification
as World Youth champion Sándor Pálhegyi failed to make
the cut for the final, however there was better news for his Hungarian
compatriot Kristóf Németh who was the best of Group “A” with
73.86m. Leading the qualifiers was Yury Shayunou of Belarussia whose
76.76m effort was a new championship record.

World Junior Champs, Day 2 – PM session summary
Wednesday 16 August 2006
Beijing, China - On the second evening of the 11th IAAF World Junior
Championships, Margus Hunt twice improved on the World Junior record*
of 66.35m which he had set in yesterday morning’s opening session,
first propelling the men’s Discus to 66.68m in the fourth round
of the final and then improving once more to 67.32m with a last giant
effort.
Before yesterday’s qualification round the 19-year-old Estonian
had a season and personal best of 64.32m which made him the second
best of the contenders for the World Junior crown. Tonight Hunt stands
as the World Junior record holder and World Junior champion, having
left the old world standard of Egypt’s Omar El-Ghazaly (65.88m,
7 July 2003) consigned into deep history.
Hunt had the gold secured with his opening effort of 64.96m. The nearest
to approach the him this evening was Iran’s Mohammad Samini whose 63.00m
was a national junior record for silver. Germany’s Martin Wierig (62.17m)
took bronze. This final was in reality an Estonian master class in discus throwing
to which the other eleven competitors were merely privileged spectators.
Naimova’s title, as Anderson misses out on a medal
Bulgaria’s Tezdzhan Naimova upset the hopes of USA’s Alexandria
Anderson, the fastest junior in the world this year (11.12), with a
smooth acceleration after 40 metres which took her into the lead past
Jamaica’s Carrie Russell with 40 to go, and to the line in 11.28
seconds (-0.8m/s) for what was an emphatic victory in tonight’s
women’s 100m final.
Anderson, the fastest of yesterday’s semi-final winners, was never properly
into today’s race and finished 5th in 11.49.
As the gun fired it was Russell, in lane 3, who took the early initiative,
and she remained in that position until Naimova’s attack outside
her in lane 6 reached full momentum.
With a late run, Gabby Mayo brought some compensation for USA creeping
past a fading Russell to snatch the silver on the line with the same
time as the bronze medallist (11.42).
Naimova’s form had on reflection been disguised by the fact that
she was a slower semi-final heat winner than Anderson, her true speed
in her 11.53
victory yesterday hidden by a -1.8m/s wind, the strongest headwind of the round.
Perie and Aikines-Aryeetey turn World Youth titles into Junior gold
A second round 67.38m was enough to secure Romania’s Bianca
Perie the gold in the women’s Hammer Throw, and establish a new
Championship record for the reigning World Youth champion. In fact,
throwing sixth of the twelve finalists, the Romanian was in the lead
from the very first round, her 62.80m the best of the opening efforts
as well.
China’s Shuai Hao, throwing second, momentarily took the lead in the
second round with 63.02m prior to Perie’s throw, was then overtaken by
Russian Anna Bulgakova’s third round release of 65.73m, and another set
of throws later was out of the medals in fourth, when Moldova’s Zalina
Marchiev produced 63.24m on her fourth attempt.
However, Hao made a successful last ditch effort on her sixth throw
and snatched back the bronze for China with 64.26m, and that’s
how the medal positions finished…Perie, Bulgakova, Hao.
The men’s 100m final was late-off by about 5mins from the planned
schedule but there was nothing sluggish about Britain’s Harry
Aikines-Aryeetey, the reigning World Youth champion, who sped to his
season’s best of 10.37. Nothing looked secure for the Briton
until 5 to 10 metres before the finish when he first got his barrel
chest in front and secured a two-hundredths’ of a second win
over Justyn Warner of Canada in silver.
China’s Jiahong Liang who was to finish 5th (10.43) had battled for the
lead in the middle of the race with the Briton, Canadian, and Jamaica’s
Yohan Blake (bronze 10.42) and Remaldo Rose (fourth 10.43) but slightly faltered
at the end to miss the medals.
The Briton, who very politely puts up with the fact that nearly every
one of his countrymen let alone the rest of the world have difficulty
pronouncing his family name, had a previous best of this year of 10.38,
though his lifetime fastest is the 10.35 which he ran in 2005 on his
way to his Youth title.
Fifth round flurry gains Crowther gold
The men’s Long Jump final came alive competitively, though not for the
hopes of the home crowd, in the fifth round when Australia’s Robert Crowther
bounded out to an Area Junior record of 8.00m, with USA’s Antone Belt
responding immediately with his personal best of 7.95m.
Suddenly, China’s Xiaoyi Zhang who had been leading since the
first round with 7.84m and had improved to 7.86m, found himself down
in third place. And with fouls for both Belt and Zhang in the sixth,
and Crowther declining his final effort, that’s how it remained,
gold for Australia, with an inconsolable Zhang, the World junior season’s
leader, left crying in despair on the side of the runway.
In fourth place, Iran’s Mohammad Arzandeh’s 7.67m effort
was a national junior record.
Gashu’s guarded approach garners gold
With 1000m to go and the Chinese Longyun Ren at last dropped off the
leading pack, the men’s 10,000m final came done to a group made
up of Africans and a duo of Bahrainis. Doing much of the front work
was Kenyan Joseph Ebuya, and with him ‘every now and then’ was
Eritrea’s Samuel Tesfamriam. However, while covering all possible
breakaways attempted by his opponents, doing his best to remain anonymous
was Ethiopia’s Ibrahim Jelyan Gashu, the fastest junior in the
world this year.
Gashu left his attack to the latest possible moment, putting his nose
in front of Ebuya, who had led at the bell, with approximately 40 metres
to go to the finish, holding on to a margin of a couple of metres for
a 28:53.29 masterly timed triumph.
As he crossed the line, Gashu fell to his knees in prayer. Who ever
he was directing his thoughts to, there was no doubt his timing was
heavenly.
Ebuya’s 28:53.46 in silver was a personal best, with national
junior records for the next three home, Bahrain’s Aadam Ismaeel
Khamis (28:54.30) in bronze, Tesfamriam (28:58.09) fourth, and Abraham
Niyonkuru (28:59.92) of Burundi in fifth.
Qualifying rounds…
Looking particularly good in the qualification rounds this evening
were Britain’s Martyn Rooney (46.01 – 3rd semi-final) in
the men’s 400m, but also taking comfortable semi-final heat wins
was, for Trinidad and Tobago, Renny Quow (46.18 – 2nd race),
and there was a good double header in the opening heat which was taken
by Japan’s Yuzo Kanemaru (46.06) from Belgium’s Jonathan
Borlee (46.08 – PB).
World Youth champion Nawal El Jack of Sudan qualified well in the
women’s one-lap, in her season’s best of 51.84 seconds,
though the fastest semi-finalist of the day was Jamaica’s Sonita
Sutherland (51.67).
Zambia’s Racheal Nachula’s 53.05 clocking was a national
junior record though it failed to move her into the 400m final as she
finished third in her heat behind Russia’s Kseniya Zadorina,
who with 51.94 was the third quickest this evening.
Another Zambian junior record, this time in the women’s 800m
semi-final stage was good enough to progress Elizet Banda to the final
(2:05.57) as a fastest loser. She was third in her heat behind Olga
Cristea of Moldova (2:04.76) who with her season’s best was the
fastest of the qualifiers. In the men’s 800m Kenya’s David
Rudisha (1:47.24) continued his progression as the fastest, just as
he had been in yesterday’s preliminary round.
The best of the women’s 400m Hurdlers was Nicole Leach of USA
with 56.10 which won the first semi-final heat. This event is going
very much to season’s form, as the American with 55.35 is the
fastest of the entrants, and the second and third quickest of 2006,
Jamaica’s Kaliese Spencer and Ajoke Odumosu of Nigeria, were
second (56.11) and fourth fastest (57.00) this evening. Upsetting the
form book slightly was Sudan’s Muna Jabir Adam whose 56.55 was
the third quickest overall, and a national record.
In the Decathlon standings after five events, World Youth champion
Yordanis Garcia continued his terrific display of this morning with
a 2.04m High Jump, and a 50.19 second run in the 400m tonight. Both
marks were personal bests. The Cuban’s halfway total is 4202pts,
ahead of New Zealand’s Jordan Vandermade (4180), and Russia’s
Arkadiy Vasilyev (4109).
Sami Itani of Finland was the best of the Decathlon High jumpers with
2.07m, while Britain’s Daniel Awde was the fastest of the multi-eventers
at 400m (48.96m).
