IAAF SESSION SUMMARY - Czech land first gold of championships – Day Four Evening Report
Saturday 14 July 2007 - by Jon Mulkeen
Ostrava, Czech Republic - Nine World Youth titles were decided during the penultimate afternoon of action in Ostrava, highlighted by a superb competition in the Girls’ Pole Vault, a home win in the Heptathlon and a competition record in the Girls’ hammer.
The Boys’ side of the competition was equally as exciting, with an enthralling battle in the Triple Jump, a sub-eight-minute win in the 3000m and a dominating display in the discus.
Perie makes it No.2
Before this edition of the IAAF World Youth Championships, no athlete had ever successfully defended their title. But today Romania’s Bianca Perie became the second athlete to do so, having seen Russia’s Tatyana Kalmykova pick up her second World Youth 5000m race walk title two days before.
Perie’s win comes as no surprise though. Since winning gold in Marrakech two years ago, the 17-year-old was also victorious at the World Junior Championships last year, despite being the youngest in the field.
This time she was one of the oldest in the competition, but she was even more dominant than she had been when winning her previous global titles and won by more than eight metres with a competition record of 64.61m.
Andriana Papadopoulou-Fatala won silver with 56.32m ahead of Slovenia’s Barbara Spiler, who threw 55.97m. The Cuban duo of Yuliet Hernández and Yirisleydi Ford – who came into the championships ranked second and third – disappointed somewhat. Ford failed to make the cut for the final eight, while Hernández did not register a legal throw
Salel keeps pattern going
Kenya and Ethiopia have alternated the winners of the Boy’s World Youth 3000m title since these championships began. Abreham Feleke of Ethiopia won it last year, meaning it was Kenya’s turn for the title this year – and they did not disappoint.
Daniel Salel’s team-mate, Lucas Rotich, led through the first kilometre in 2:43 and they kept the pace going through the second kilometre. But the leading pack – comprising Salel, Rotich and Moroccan duo Hicham El Amrani and Moussa Karich – soon cranked the pace up and covered the final kilometre in 2:32.
Salel and Rotich both dipped under eight minutes to take gold and silver respectively, while El Amrani and Karich finished third and fourth.
Last-gasp effort wins it for Parnov
Australia’s Vicky Parnov had entered the Girls’ Pole Vault competition as the overwhelming favourite, having set a World Youth best just weeks before the championships with 4.40m.
But the 16-year-old was made to forget about records as her attention turned to regaining the lead she had held since entering the competition at 3.95m. Defending champion Ekaterini Stefanidi of Greece stole the lead with her first-time clearance at 4.25m – a height at which Parnov had failed.
The bar moved up to 4.30m and Parnov failed once more before nailing it on her last attempt. Stefanidi failed twice at 4.30m and once at 4.35m and had to settle for silver. Parnov, meanwhile, pulled out yet another third-attempt clearance – this time at 4.35m – to set a competition record before failing three times at a would-be world youth best of 4.41m.
Nesterenko out-classes discus field
Throwing sensation Mykyta Nesterenko of Ukraine won the Boys’ Discus gold medal to make up for a disappointing showing in the Shot Put. He could not quite match the 70.67m competition record he set in qualifying, but his 68.54m throw was still more than enough to beat Marin Premeru of Croatia, who picked up his second silver having finished second in the shot.
Andrius Godzius of Lithuania set a PB of 61.59m to place third – the best ever mark for a bronze medal winner at the IAAF World Youth Championships.
Ostrava-based Cachová wins Czech’s first gold
Heptathlete Katerina Cachová won the Czech Republic’s first gold medal of the championships and smashed her PB in doing so. But the other Czech athlete, Nikola Ogrodníková, would have surely challenged for gold had she not suffered three fouls in the Shot Put.
Despite scoring zero in that event, Ogrodníková still finished seventh overall. If she had managed to match her shot PB (12.01), she would have won by around 100 points.
Not to take anything away from Cachová’s victory, who set PBs in four individual events to score a World Youth leading 5641, improving her previous best by 160 points. Germany’s Carolin Schäfer was just one point off her PB in second with 5544 while her team-mate placed third with 5494.
Those were the third and fourth medals for Germany within 15 minutes, as Samira Burkhardt and Sophie Kleeberg had won silver and bronze in the Girls’ Shot Put just moments earlier. That event was won by the favourite, Aliona Hryshko of Belarus, who threw a PB of 15.91m to take gold.
Taylor adds gold to bronze
USA’s Christian Taylor won an exciting Triple Jump battle and came close to breaking the 16-metre barrier on his last attempt. In an extremely consistent series, Taylor took the lead in round three, lost it briefly in the fourth round when Russia’s Aleksey Fedorov jumped 15.59m, but soon regained the pole position.
On the very last jump of the competition, Taylor bounded out to 15.98m to become the first ever American to win the Boys’ World Youth Triple Jump title. Fedorov’s best mark remained good enough for silver, while his team-mate Gennadiy Chudinov jumped 15.54m to take bronze on count-back from Singapore’s Stefan Tseng Ke Chen.
Kenya takes inaugural Girls’ Steeplechase title
It was the first time the Girls’ 2000m Steeplechase had been held at the World Youth Championships, but the result was no surprise as Kenya made it a one-two, led by the current World Junior champion Caroline Chepkurui in 6:22.30.
Her team-mate Christine Kambua was not too far behind though, finishing second in 6:22.49. Between them they set the second and third best youth performances of all-time behind Catalina Oprea’s World best of 6:21.78. Norway’s Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal, the European 3000m Steeplechase record holder, was third in 6:25.30.
High quality in High Jump
For the first time in the admittedly young history of the World Youth Championships, all three Boys’ High Jump medallists cleared 2.20m. But the real drama started at 2.22m.
Australia’s Josh Hall entered the championships with a best of 2.12m, but improved on that by eight centimetres to take bronze. He had three close failures at 2.22m before bowing out of the competition, leaving Russia’s Sergey Mudrov and China’s Chen Wang to fight it out for gold.
The decisive moment came when Wang cleared 2.22m on his first attempt – a height at which Mudrov needed two attempts to clear. Both athletes had three extremely close attempts at 2.24m, especially Mudrov who had sailed well clear on his last try but just clipped the bar with his lower leg. It meant Wang became the second successive Chinese winner of the Boys’ High Jump.
Round-up of semi finals
After making the elementary mistake of easing up too early in his first-round heat, USA’s William Wynne made no such mistakes in the 400m Hurdles semi-final. The sprint hurdles silver medallist was the fastest qualifier with a World Youth leading time of 50.28, although he has run more than half a second faster over the senior height hurdles.
Wynne’s team-mate Reginald Wyatt was the winner of the other semi-final with 50.48, while South Africa’s PC Beneke scraped through to tomorrow’s final by finishing fourth in the first semi.
Jamaica’s Sharmaine Williams was the fastest qualifier in the Girls’ 100m Hurdles. She ran 13.46 to win the first semi final ahead of USA’s Jasmin Stowers. Julian Purvis was an equally as impressive winner of the other semi, which she took in 13.49.
All the expected challengers are through to the Boys’ 200m final, with two Jamaicans and two Japanese athletes making up half of the field. Ramone McKenzie looked scarily good in winning his semi-final as he cantered over the line ahead of Ramil Guliyev of Azerbaijan.
In the Girls’ 200m semi finals, Ashton Purvis, Barbara Leoncio and Rosângela Santos made up for their disappointments in the 100m by cruising through to the final. Joining them will be Nivea Smith of the Bahamas, South Africa’s Alyssa Conley, USA’s Chalonda Goodman, Russia’s Elza Vildanova and Algeria’s Souheir Bouali.
The six fastest under-18 girls in the world this year are through to the final of the 800m. Winny Chebet of Kenya won a fast first semi-final, with Sweden’s Sofia Oberg and Romania’s Elena Lavric winning the other two.
Russia showed their dominance of the Girls’ Long Jump with both entrants breezing through the qualifying round. Mariya Shumilova leapt 6.18m on her second try while Darya Klishina jumped 6.24m on her first. Both were the only automatic qualifiers, although Serbia’s Ivana Španovic was not too far behind with 6.09m.
The second heat of the Boys’ medley relay provided a glimmer as to who will be the likely challengers in tomorrow’s final. USA won with a World Youth leading 1:51.94, followed by Japan and then Jamaica – those three teams were the fastest qualifiers, although Bahamas, Saudi Arabia and Spain won their respective heats.
Jamaica, USA and Canada won the three qualifying heats for the Girls’ medley relay, but Ukraine’s Yuliya Baraley – the individual 400m winner – was passed by Japan’s Chisato Kitamura in the final few metres to miss out on the final qualifying spot.

USATF DAILY SUMMARY - Taylor takes triple jump gold at World Youth Championships
By Glen McMicken
OSTRAVA, Czech Republic - On the first warm day of the meet Saturday, conditions were tailor-made for Team USA's Christian Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.), as he shattered his previous personal best and won the triple jump with a final-attempt leap of 15.98 meters/52-5.25 on the fourth day of the 5th IAAF World Youth Championships.
Taylor, the long jump bronze medalist whose best coming into the meet was 15.22m/49-11.25, had a hip problem and was behind the board on his first three attempts, but managed to improve on each try. His fourth-round effort of 15.64m/51-3.75 put him into the lead for good, and with the gold assured he uncorked a massive final attempt to record the best jump by a youth in the world this year. Bryce Lamb (Chandler, Ariz.) was eighth at 14.99m/49-2.25.
" I just tried to kill it on my last jump," Taylor said. "This was for my coaches at the Quicksilver Track Club in Atlanta. I love hot weather, and this felt like I was jumping at home. Having my family here was a big motivation, and it is great to be world champion and win another medal."
Becky O'Brien (Cumberland, Maine), an eighth-placer in the discus earlier this week, had a big personal best of 14.94m/49-0.25 but missed out on a bronze medal in the shot put, placing fourth on the countback as Germany's Sophie Kleeberg had a second-best toss of 14.86m to 14.79m for O'Brien.
O'Brien said, "I wanted so badly to medal. I threw over my old PR twice and this was by far the best day of my career. I am a competitor, and the bigger the meet, the better I seem to do. I can't wait to go after a medal at the World Juniors next year."
In the boys' discus, Cameron Tabor (Norman, Okla.) finished fifth with a lifetime best of 59.07m/193-9. Ukrainian giant and world youth record holder Mykyta Nesterenko, who is 6-8 at age 16, won easily at 68.54/224-10.
" The smaller discus (1.5 kg) felt different to me," Tabor said. "I felt like I was using way too much upper-body. I haven't had as much practice with this size implement as I would have liked. I do know that I will never be as nervous again in competition. I am just glad to do better than in the shot put."
The U.S. had the top two qualifiers in the boys' 400 hurdles, with William Wynne (Kennesaw, Ga.) returning to form to clock a world youth-leading 50.28 in the first semifinal. Reggie Wyatt (Riverside, Calif.) almost matched that with a 50.48 winner in the second semi.
All three Team USA runners in the 200 advanced to the final, with Ashton Purvis (Oakland, Calif.) putting up the best time in the girls' furlong at 23.66. Chalonda Goodman (Newnan, Ga.) was second in her semifinal at 23.86, and in the boys' race, Kenneth Gilstrap (Lithonia, Ga.) set a personal best of 21.46 to place third in his section and claim one of the time qualifier spots.
The older Purvis sister, Julian, had the second-best time in the semis of the girls' 100 hurdles, zipping to a winning 13.49 to make the final. Jasmin Stowers (Liberty, S.C.) was second in her semi at 13.52 to also qualify for the final.
After leading for the first 600 meters, Chanelle Price (Easton, Pa.) yielded to Kenya's Winny Chebet down the home stretch, but still had the second-fastest qualifying time in the girls' 800 semis at 2:04.34.
Come-from-behind anchor legs were the order of the day in both medley relays, with Dalilah Muhammad (Jamaica, N.Y.) passing Australia in the first 200 of her 400 carry to give the girls' squad a 2:08.38 win, the second-fastest time of the day behind Jamaica's 2:08.04. Ashton Purvis ran the 100 leg, followed by Erica Alexander (Friendswood, Texas) on the 200 and Kiani Profit (Pasadena, Calif.) on the 300.
Howard Shepard (Dallas, Texas) turned in a 47.6 in the boys' competition to move past Jamaica with 150 to go and pace Team USA to a 1:51.94 victory, the fastest time of the day. Isaiah Sweeney (Houston, Texas) ran the lead leg, handing off to Gilstrap on the 200, and then Wyatt on the 300.

Session Summary Mike Kennedy
Christopher Taylor (Sandy Creek, Tyrone, Ga.), with a great come through performance, won the gold medal in the triple jump with a world Youth leading 52-5¼ to highlight a bundle of excellent U.S. performances. Sean Tabor (Norman, Ok.) was fifth in the discus with a personal best of 193-9. The boys also advanced Kenneth Gilstrap (Miller Grove, Lithonia, Ga.) to the 200 final with a personal best of 21.46, both 400-meter hurdlers, Williams Wynne (McEachern, Powder Springs, Ga.) and Reggie Wyatt (J.W. North, Riverside, Ca.) as well as its sprint relay team. The girls were paced by another great come through performance. Rebecca O’Brien recorded a personal best of 49-0 ¼ in finishing just one centimeter shy of the Bronze medal in fourth place. Chalonda Goodman (Newman, Ga.) and Ashton Purvis (St. Elizabeth, Oakland, Ca.) both qualified for the 200 final as did Julian Purvis (St. Elizabeth, Oakland, Ca.) and Jasmin Stowers (Pendleton, S.C.) in the 100-low hurdles (30 inches).

Spier on-site
Semi 1 (-1.4) - By the time he reached the homestretch, Ramone Mc Kenzie was looking from side to side to see if anyone was gaining on him. He was again in his jogging mode, finishing at 21.14. Coming strong at the end was Ramil Guliyev ofAzerjeijan, running 21.22. Kenneth Gilstrap (Miller Grove, Lithonia, GA) was third in 21.46, a PB, and will have to wait two more heats to see if he one of the two time qualifiers.
Semi 2 (-0.5) - A strong run for the 100 meter silver medallist, Nickel Ashmeade, running 21.08. Second was Likourgos-Stefanos Tsakonoas of Greece in 21.49
Semi 3 ( ) - Both Dantago Gurirab of Namibia and Danzell Fortson of the USA did not start. We are trying to ascertain the reason.

Kenneth Gilstrap made it into the final as the first of two time qualifiers.

Kenya continues to dominate the distances. Two years ago Kenyans were shut out of the major medals by the Ethiopians and this year they returned the favor as Daniel Salel and Lucas Rotich were one-two in 7:57.18 and 7:59.67, respectively. Hicham El Amrani of Morocco was third in 8:00.98. The field went through 1,000 in 2:43.49 and 2,000 at 5:25.89. It was the Kenyans third victory in five championships. The two nations have now won six medals each. Morocco has accounts for two and Burundi one. Charles Koech, also of Kenya, the world Youth leader at 7:55.85, was not entered.

Spier on-site
Semi 1 - William Wynne wanted there to be no doubt about his capabilities after yesterday's near disaster. Trailing Nathan Arnett of the Bahamas through four hurdles, he took the lead at the fifth and "never looked back". He not only had the best start of the field, he also got the world youth lead at 50.28. The prior world youth leader, PC Beneke of South Africa qualified fourth. Arnett was second at 51.77, the same time as Julius Rotich Oletygor of Kenya in third.
Semi 2 - Reginald Wyatt (JW North, Riverside, CA) had the worst start of the group but completely dominated the race. His time is #2 in the world behind Wynne's, run in the prior semi.

In what must rank as the upset of the championships, Christopher Taylor, who entered the championships with a best of just 49-11 ¾, won with at 52-5 ¼ for the best Youth jump in the world this year. Prior to this year his best had been just 45-10 ¾. Taylor opened the competition with a 49-7 ¼, good enough four fourth place, but then took the lead for good with a second round jump of 50-11 ½. He then improved to 51-0 ¼ and 51-3 ¾ in the next two rounds and after a 51-1 ¾ effort and with to competition won, he improve his personal best by nine inches. His mark ranks 21st on the all-time high school list. The highest previous placer for the U.S. athlete by Allan Sims who was sixth in the first championships in Poland with a best of 49-8 ½. Sentrantu Aleksey Fedorov of Russia was second here at 51-1 ¾. Gennadiy Chudinov of Russia was third and Stefan Tseng Ke Chen of Taipei was fourth as both jumped 51-0 but Chudinov had a better second jump. Tseng Ke Chen got his best in the first round and Chudinov in the third round but Chudinov repeated his best in the sixth round to gain the win. Bryce Lamb (Chandler, Az.) was eight with his second round jump of 49-2 ¼. He came close to that with jumps of 48-10 ¾ and 49-1 ½ in the last three rounds.

What a great competitor Christian Taylor is. His round two jump got him into second place (50-11.5, -0.1) after a 49-7.25 (0.3) first round jump. In round three, he moved into the lead by .01m (51-0.25, 0.6). Aleksey Federov of Russia took the lead briefly in round 4 (51-1.75, 0.2), but Taylor responded on his next jump with a 51-3.75 (0.4) to retake the lead. He would continue to lead through round 5, though he did not improve (51-1.75, -0.6). He had the event won on by his last attempt and put "the icing on the cake" with a mammoth 52-5.25 (0.6). How's that for a kid who hadn't broken 50 feet until yesterday!!! Bryce Lamb could not match his qualifying performance of yesterday, managing only 49-2.25 for eighth.

Official Results - Discus Throw (1.500kg) - Boys - Final

Kennedy
Mykyta Nesterenko of Ukraine, to the surprise of no one was an easy winner in 224-10 with Marin Premeru of Croatia second at 210-7 and Andrius Gudzius of Lithuania was third at 202-0. Sean Tabor continued to amaze with a fifth place finish with a personal best of 193-9. Tabor was fourth after the first round with a throw of 187-3 but dropped to fifth in the second round and remained in that position despite his best effort in the fifth round. Tabor’s best with the slightly heavier (1.62-kilo) high school discus is 186-10. Tabor’s fifth place equals the best previous U.S. finish by Daniel Taylor, who threw 183-7 in Poland in 1999. The win for Nesterenko, who is the world Youth leader at 236-0, was a little tougher than it looked. It was not until the third round that he took over the lead for good at 215-0. His best effort came in the fifth round.

Spier on-site
Sean Tabor (Norman, OK) finished a respectable fifth with a throw of 193-9, achieved on his fifth throw. The winner was Mykyta Nesterenko of the Ukraine, throwing 224-10.

Ashton Purvis (St. Elizabeth, Oakland, Ca.) was a comfortable heat winner in 23.66 into a 1.3 meter per second wind with Nivea Smith of Bahamas second at 23.81. Chalonda Goodman (Newnan, Ga.) was second to Barbara Leoncio of Brazil, 23.69 to 23.86, but both were well clear of Olivia Tauro of Australia in third at 24.13, and probably not running at full speed. U.S. prospects would appear good with Goodman, the world Youth leader at 23.42, and Purvis having run a legal 23.50 and a wind-aided 23.27. Smith has a best of 23.45 and Leoncio has run 23.62.

Spier on-site
Semi 1 (-1.5) - We never expected this. Out of lane 1, Barbara Leoncio of Brazil rocketed to the lead and never was caught, running 23.69. Chalonda Goodman (Newnan, GA) had a disastrous start (.202) and was leading the pack in the middle of the track but could only manage second (23.86).
Semi 2 (-1.3) - Ashton Purvis (St. Elizabeth, Oakland, CA), with the best start of the field, led from the gun. She won at 23.66, with Nivea Smith of the Bahamas second in 23.81.
Semi 3 (-1.8) - Rosangela Santos of Brazil, the silver medallist in the 100 meters, had a relatively easy time of it in winning this heat. She ran a PB 23.84 to the Russian Elza Vildanova's 23.93.

Winny Chebet of Kenya and Chanelle Price (Easton, Pa.) were one-two in the first heat, running, 2:04.10 and 2:04.34 respectively for the two fastest times in the semifinals. Price led at the 400 in 60.01. It will be interesting in the final, if Price returns to running the first 400 in something close to 57 seconds, which resulted in her world Youth leading time of 2:02.38. Sofia Oberg of Sweden, at 2:07.76 and Elena Lavric of Romania, at 2:10.28, were the remaining heat winners. Lavric has a best of 2:03.78. The two time qualifiers, as might be expected came from the first heat as Olha Bibik of Ukraine ran 2:05.11 and Ewa Jacniak of Romania ran 2:06.57. Both are personal best. Price is the first U.S. runner to reach an 800 final. Allison Leonard of Britain, who also made the final, has best of 2:04.86.

Spier on-site
Heat 1 - Chanelle Price led a parade of three through 700 meters: Winny Chebet of Kenya and Olha Bibik of the Ukraine. Price's splits were 60.01 and 1:31.97. Chebet passed Price with about 60 meters remaining and Price did not respond, knowing she had one of two auto qualifiers assured. Chebet ran 2:04.10 to Price's 2:04.34.
Heat 2 - A relatively slow first 400 (63.54) led to the expected sprint to the finish with Sofia Oberg of Sweden the winner in 2:07.76 and Alison Leonard of Great Britain in third (2:07.84).
Heat 3 - A really slow first 400 (67.71) inferred that the race would begin at 600 meters as it did. Jessica Parry (Canada) jumped the field immediately and let through 740 meters when Elena Lavric (Romania) took over, with Juana Ivis Mendez of Cuba moving up from the pack. Mendez passed Parry and finished second (2:10.60) to Lavric (2:10.28).

Shermaine Williams of Jamaica, won heat two in the fastest time of the day, 13.46, but Jasmin Stowers (Pendleton, S.C.) was a close second in a personal best of 13.52. Julian Purvis (St. Elizabeth, Oakland, Ca.) won the first heat at 13.49, just in front of Christabel Nettey of Canada and Lucie Cincinatis of Belgium, both of whom were timed in 13.53. Williams, who was sixth in 2005 in Morocco, is the No. twoYouth in the world at 13.37. Nataly Martinez of Cuba, the world Youth leader did not enter the championships. Julian Purvis has run 13.45 but also has a best of 13.32 over the higher (33 inch) high school hurdles, but that was with a maximum allowable 2.0 meter per second wind. Stowers has bests of 13.87 and 13.72w over the higher hurdles.

Spier on-site
Semi 1 - Christabel Nettey of Canada, with a big PR in the prior round led through seven hurdles. By the eighth Julian Purvis had taken over the lead with Lucie Cincinatis of Belgium closing fast. Purvis won in 13.49, followed by Nettey and Cincinatis in identical 13.53's, then Ivana Loncarek of Croatia in 13.64.
Semi 2 - I think I underestimated young Jasmine Stowers. She gave Shermaine Williams a run for it, gaining on Williams each hurdle, though not able to catch her. Williams ran 13.46 to win to Stowers' 13.52, a PB. Jacinta Doyle of Australia was third (13.69) and Anne Zagre fourth with a PB 13.74.

Aliona Hryshko of Belarus was the winner at 52-2 ½ and Samira Burkhardt of Germany was second at 50-4 ¾ but the real drama came in the battle for third. Rebecca O’Brien (Greely, Cumberland, Me.) came with in one centimeter (about 3/8 of an inch) of the bronze medal when she and Sophie Kleeberg of Germany both had personal bests puts of 49-0 ¼. Kleeberg won the bronze with a better second throw, 48-9 to 48-6 ¼. After three round, Kleeberg held the advantage, 47-2 ¼ to 45-10. But in the fifth round O’Brien gained the advantage with a 48-2 ¾ put and improved to 48-6 ¼ in the final stanza. However, on the very next put, Kleeberg responded with a 48-9 to retake the bronze. For O’Brien it has been an excellent championships as she also finished fifth in the discus—her “second” event. In one year she has improved for 43-6 ½ to 49-0 ¼ in the shot and from 140-1 to 147-5 in the discus.

Spier on-site
Rebecca of O'Brien equaled the mark of the eventual bronze medallist but finished fourth. She was quite a game competitor. Sophie Kleeberg of Germany moved into third on her second throw with a toss of 49-0.25. O'Brien had a best of 45-10 at that point. O'Brien equaled Kleeberg's mark on her next throw, but remained in fouth because of a better second throw by Kleeberg. O'Brien threw 48-2.75 on her 5th attempt, moving her back into third. On her final attempt, Kleeberg threwe 48-9 on her last attempt. Now she had the better second best put, so she's back into third. On her final throw, O'Brien thought she had, but it it would measure 48-6.25, three inches short of what it would take to get the bronze. The winner was Aliona Hryshko of Belarus (52-2.5) with Samira Burkhardt of Germany second (50-4.75). It was a PB for Rebecca O'Brien, and # 6 in the US for high schoolers.

Katerina Chachova of Czech Republic, the six-event leader, finished with the second best 800 time of 2:10.54 to earn 816 points for a winning total of 5,641 and the best Youth mark in the world this year. Cachova finished eleventh in 2005. Carolin Schafer of Germany ran 2:22.20 for 794 points and a total of 5,544 to remain in second and Elisa-Sophie Dobel of Germany ran 2:21.58 for 802 points and a total of 5,494 to remain in third. Nikola Ogrodnikova of Czech Republic ran 2:21.92 for 798 points and a total of 5,155 to finish a remarkable seventh. Remarkable, in that she scored in just six event since, on the first day, she had no fair throw in the shot put. If Ogrodnikova, who has throw at least 39-5, had been able to manage just 30-5, worth 30-5 she would have won the competition with 5, 643 points.
