Heptathlon starts, 200m heats concludes in Ostrava - Day Three Morning Report
Friday 13 July 2007 - Anthony Foster IAAF

Ostrava, Czech Republic – In action from Friday morning's session at the 5th IAAF World Youth Championships, Jamaica's Nickel Ashmeade and Brazilian Rosangela Santos, the 100m silver medallists from Thursday, have booked places in Saturday's 200m semi-finals.
Ashmeade, who took the 100m silver in 10.54 seconds behind countryman Dexter Lee, was very easy in winning heat 7 of the Boys' 200m first round in 21.80 seconds.
However, Ashmeade will start the semi-finals as the fifth fastest qualifier behind Hiroyuki Kubota of Japan (21.31), Bermuda Harold Houston (21.67), Japanese Seija Clarke (21.76) and South African Dean Swart (21.78).
World leader and favourite, Ramone McKenzie of Jamaica took the 10th and final heat in 21.99 seconds.
Santos, who ran a personal best 11.46 in the 100m final behind Great Britain's Asha Philip, returned 24.96 for second in the 7th and final heat of the Girls' 200m.
Romanian Andreea Ograzeanu won heat 7 in 24.60, but American Chalonda Goodman (23.87) and Souheir Bouali of Algeria with a personal best 23.92 are the only sub-24 seconds qualifiers.
Heptathlon starts
Samira Burkhardt of Germany with 15.20 leads the qualifiers going into the final of the Girls' Shot Put. Belarus' Aliona Hryshko (14.91m), Rebecca O'Brien of USA (14.48m) and Germany's Sophia Kleeberg (14.23m) were the other automatic qualifiers.
In the Triple Jump qualification round, which saw eight of the 12 qualifiers doing personal best distances, United States' Christian Taylor leads the pack with 15.76m.
Stefan Tesng Ke Chen of Singapore (15.69m) and United States' Bryce Lamb (15.54m) have the second and third best jumps respectively.
Defending champion Romania's Bianca Perie (63.27m) and Yuliet Hernandez of Cuba (58.45m) are the top hammer throwers going into the final.
After two events in the Girls' Heptathlon, Katerina Cachova of Czech Republic leads with 1933 points ahead of team-mate Nikola Oqrodnikova 1889 points.

Danzell Fortson (Central, Keller, Tx.) was probably thinking as much about saving energy as advancing to the next round as he settled into the blocks since he would be running in the 400 final in the evening. Imagine the surprise when Harold Houston of Bermuda, running in lane seven (one lane outside of Fortson) with a best of just 21.94 set last year, got off to a quick start and was an easy heat winner in a personal best of 21.67 for the second fastest time in the opening round.. Fortson, who has a personal best of 21.55, let Houston go and just made sure he finished in second to secure the final automatic qualifying position, , which is exactly what he did in 22.11. Third place went to Dantago Gurirab of Namibia in 22.15. Kenneth Gilstrap (Miller Grove, Lithonia, Ga.), the surprise third place finisher in the 100 final, also was an easy qualifiers in finishing second in his heat to Patrick Vosloo of South Africa, 21.90 to 22.06. Alexander Nordkvist of Sweden was third in 22.26. Ramone McKenzie of Jamaica, the world Youth leader at 20.58 and the event favorite, expended just enough energy to win the final heat in 21.99. Izzat Safer of Turkey was second in 22.06. The closest race in the first round saw Hiroyuki Kubota of Japan, who ran 21.17 last year, but had no notable performances this year, clocked 21.31 into a 1.6 meter per second wind to easily defeat Dean Swart of South Africa at 21.78. Mindaugas Baliukonis of Lithuania was third at 21.82 and Antonio Martinez next at 21.90 to take two of the four available automatic qualifying slots. Ramil Guliyev of Azerbaijan, the second ranked Youth in the world at 20.67, was and easy heat winner in 21.85. Nickel Ashemeade of Jamaica, the runner-up in the 100 final and ranked No. 3 here at 20.82, also won his heat in 21.80.

Spier on site
Heat 1 (-1.5) - Where did he come from? Out of nowhere, seemingly, Christophe Lemaitre, a 100 meter medallist last night, strided right past leader Oluwasgun Makinde of Canada in the last 10 meters to win in 21.86 over Makinde's 22.11.
Heat 2 (-3.0) - Likourgos-Stefanos Tsakonis of Greece "snuck up" on everyone from lane to win in 22.05. All were fighting a big wind, as Adel Al-Asseri of Saudi Arabia passed Tse-Ching Liang (Taipei) at the end to get the second auto qualfier. It was Al-Asseri's 22.09 to Liang's 22.23.
Heat 3 (-1.2) - The favorite, Saiya Hane (Japan) was in lane 8, but he didn't let that placement bother him, winning in 21.76. Allistar Clarke of St. Kitts eased to a second place finish in 21.95.
Heat 4 (-2.0) - Two finalists in last night's 100 meters were paired here. Patrick Vosloo (South Africa) in an outside line, got the win over Kenneth Gilstrap 21.90 to 22.06.
Heat 5 (-1.0) - This was a race totally dominated by Harold Houston of Bermuda, running from lane 7 and clocking 21.67. Danzell Fortson, attempting a very tough 400-200 double, was the second qualifier at 22.11.
Heat 6 (-1.6) - Impressive in the middle of the track was Ramil Guliyev of Azerbeijan, a 20.67 performer, winning in 21.85. Second was Po-Yu Pan of Taipei in 22.08.
Heat 7 (-1.4) - Last night's 100m silver medallist had an easy time of it, winning in 21.80. The race hampered by two DQ's (false starts). Second was local favorite, Martin Ricar of the Czech Republic (22.24)
Heat 8 (-1.6) - Another good Japanese sprinter won here easily. Hiroyuki Kubota ran 21.31 as Dean Swart of South Africa eked out second by .04 over Mindaugas Baliukonis of Lithuania, running 21.78.
Heat 9 (-2.0) - Vaclav Zich, a 100m finalist last night, won handily at 22.04. Second, edging ultimate third placer Daniel Martin of Australia by .01 for the auto qualifer, was Phillip Hayle of Canada aat 22.23.
Heat 10 (-2.4 - "He's jogging" I said to Joy Kamani. Ramone Mc Kenzie of Jamaica conserved energy like I've seen from no other with an amazingly easy 21.99. He is coming into the meet with a 20.58 best. Second was Izzet Safer of Turkey at 22.06.

Official Results - Triple Jump - Boys - Qualification
Qual. rule: qualification standard 15.10m or at least best 12 qualified

Kennedy
Talk about being “Stoked” , the U.S. kids really outdid themselves in the qualify round. Christopher Taylor (Sandy Creek, Tyrone, Ga.), who had the long jump final too look forward to in the evening session, opened up at 44-4 ¾ and then improved to 49-5 ½, just seven inches short of his personal best. Taylor, jumping last in the order, stepped on to the runway for his final jump and need to improve if he was to advance to the final. He responded with an amazing 51-8 ½ jump for the best mark of the session and ranks No. 2 on the yearly high school list. It was also a personal best by 18 inches. Bryce Lamb (Chandler, Az.), found himself in almost the same position as Taylor in that he needed a big third jump to make the final. His best up to that time had been 49-1, which was just left him just outside the top 12. Lamb responded with a personal best of 51-0 jumping into a 0.9 meters per second wind. It was a personal best by 17 inches and the third best jump of the competition. Stefan Tseng Ke Chan of Singapore had the second best jump at 51-5 ¾ and was a personal best by 16 inches. Gennadiy Chudinov of Russia, the No. 2 ranked Youth in the world at 50-8 1/4, was the twelfth and final qualifier at 49-5 ½. Ernesto Kindelan of Cuba, the world Youth leader at 51-11 ¾, was not entered. Eleven of the 12 qualifiers meet the automatic qualifying standard of 49-6 ½. Seven of those 11 did so in the final round.

Spier on-site
Group B - Bryce Lamb, who will be a junior at Chandler, AZ high school in the fall, got near his PR of 49-7 on his first jump (49-1, +1.8). Then came the monster jump of 51-0 (-0.9) to make him the second leading qualifier in this group behind Stephan Tseng Ke Chen of Singapore (51-5.75). Lamb's jump represented a one foot plus PR, and puts him the number 2 US performer behind Troy Doris (this was before Christian Taylor's equally "monster jump" of 51-8.5).
Group A - Christian Taylor (Sandy Creek, Tyrone, GA) started modestly with a jump of 44-4.75 (-0.2). He improved on his second jump to 49-5.5 (+0.5), near his lifetime PB of 49-7.25. He was the next to last competitor in the competition, and his mark would not get him into the top 12 to qualify for the finals. Then, like Bryce Lamb in Group B, he let go with a monster, covering 51-8.5 (+0.7), more than two feet better than his previous best! That put him in the lead overall going into the finals tomorrow. Taylor moves to # 2 US, with Bryce Lamb #3. Coincidentally, the wind assistance for each jumper's prior PR was identical to their new PR.
It was quite a day for the U.S. triple jumpers, who showed a lot of composure, getting their qualifier on their final jump. They go into the finals ranked #1 and #3 overall.

You could excuse Chalonda Goodman (Newnan, Ga.) for being just a little bit excited in the opening round since she was a late addition to the event, replacing Erica Alexander (Clear Brook, Friendswood, Tx.). The year world Youth leaders at 23.42, responded with a 23.87 to win the first heat in the fastest time from the first round. Second was Liona Rebernik of Slovenia in 24.61. Ashton Purvis (St. Elizabeth, Oakland, Ca.) easily won her heat in 24.12 running into a 1.5 meter per second wind. Souheir Bouali of Algeria won her heat in 23.92 and was the only other runner under 24 seconds. Two others to watch are Nivea Smith of Bahamas and Barbara Leonicio of Brazil. Smith, with a best of 23.45, won her heat in 24.30 but Leonicio, who has a best of 23.62, finished just third in her heat but was a time qualifier at 24.80.

Spier on-site
Heat 1 (-1.5) - Chalonda Goodman (Newnan, GA) makes her debut at the meet in the first heat. Her bad start (second slowest) didn't seem to matter as she totally dominated the race, winning in 23.87.
Heat 2 (2.0) - Olivia Tauro of Australia was pushed slightly by Jura Levy of Jamaica, but got the win, 24.49 to 24.88.
Heat 3 (0.0) - An easy run for Nivea Smith of the Bahamas, winning in 24.30, .58 ahead of Gabriela Laleva of Bulgaria.
Heat 4 (-1.5) - Ashton Purvis, a bit more composed after her disappointing 100m final, took charge here early, winning in 24.12. Another 100m finalist, Alyssa Conley of South Africa, was a close second in 24.39.
Heat 5 (-0.3) - A very good race and a bit of a surprise. Elza Vildanova of Russia let convincingly for 170 meters while Souheir Bouali of Algeria began a steady move to gain on, and eventually, pass Vildanova. Its was Bouali's 23.92 (a PB) to Vildanova's 24.09.
Heat 6 (-0.6) - The leader of the first half of the race was Regina Kolevatova of Kazakhstan, but running an even pace on the outside of her was Allison Peter of the US Virgin Islands, who overtook Kolevatova with 20 meters left in the race, running 24.35 an almost half-second PR. Kolevatova ran 24.66.
Heat 7 (-2.9) - This was to be a tight battle between Andreea Ograzeanu of Romania and Rosangela Santos of Brazil, last night's silver medallist in the 100 meters. Both have sub 24 second personal bests. Ograzeanu led from the "get go" with Santos trailing slightly throughout the race. Ograzeanu got the win over Santos, 24.60 to 24.96, with a big negative wind
