Beijing welcome back international athletics

On Tuesday May 21, the inaugural IAAF world challenge meet in Beijing, saw a crowd of over 50,000 spectators pack the famed Bird’s Nest stadium, venue for the highly successful 2008 Olympic track and field competition. London Olympic champions Anna Chicherova (RUS, high jump), Allyson Felix (USA, 200m) and Tatyana Lysenko (RUS, hammer throw) scored good wins on the night, while David Oliver (USA) convincingly won the 110m hurdles against current world champion, Jason Richardson.

Russian Anna Chicherova looked in control from the start in the women’s high jump. She held a clean sheet early and her 1.98m first up clearance sealed the victory from Anna Simic (CRO) on 1.95m. After a break in the competition for the opening ceremony, Chicherova had a chat to her support team in the crowd. “They gave me a lot of confidence and calmed me down,” she said. Chicherova then continued and required two attempts to clear 2.00m and 2.02m, before bowing out on 2.04m. Her winning height was one centimetre below her bronze medal winning effort five years earlier in the same stadium at the 2008 Olympics.

In the sprints, American’s Allyson Felix (200m) and Justin Gatlin (100m) were untroubled winning in times of 22.36 and 9.91 respectively. Gatlin’s win was impressive considering he has current hamstring concerns. “My hamstring is not 100% but I am able to compete. I’m getting top notch physiotherapy and the therapy is giving me confidence to be able to run fast and be brave.”

Much expectation surrounded the potential of Beijinger Li Jinzhe, who leapt a personal best of 8.34 metres to defeat an outstanding field in the recent IAAF Diamond League in Shanghai. He didn’t disappoint in Beijing last night, opening the completion with 8.31 metres. In round three his competition was over as he leapt 8.18m metres, but landed near the sandpit border where he suffered a cut requiring seven stiches.

Pre-race publicity had centred around Olympic silver medallist Jason Richardson, who had won four days earlier in the IAAF Diamond league meet in Shanghai. But in the race it was all about David Oliver, who comfortably won in 13.16, from Jamaican Dwight Thomas 13.44 and Richardson in 13.48.

Another rising start of Chinese athletics was on show in the men’s high jump. Wang Yu, 21, showed maturity beyond his years with a measured assessment of his tremendous winning personal best leap of 2.33m a height which moved him to equal number two in the world this year.
“I don’t think the most important thing for an athlete is the result. I think an athlete must enjoy the training and the process. I also find it difficult to give you a target for me in the future as the spirit of an athlete is personal improvement.”

The women’s hammer throw was a close event with less than three metres separating the top-five competitors. The most consist was Olympic champion Tatyana Lysenko (RUS) who opened with 72.31m and held on for victory with her third round effort of 73.12m. However she was back in second place early, after Hungarian Eva Orban threw 73.00m in round two to lead the competition. In third place was Wang Zheng, who was close to her personal best with a throw of 71.91m. “My performance was not bad, but I was under my personal best,” said Wang. “I competed at the Beijing Olympics so was familiar with the Bird’s Nest prior to this competition.”

In other highlights:
-LaShawn Merritt (USA) dropped down the distance to the 200 metres to win in 20.40.
-In the pre-meet pole vault, Li Ling (CHN) equalled her personal best with a first up clearance at 4.50m. before missing attempts at 4.65m.
-other pre-meet event winners were: men 5000m walk Dai Jianxing CHN 20:33.63 and women 5000m walk Zhao Wenli CHN 24:04.93.
-on an outstanding night for the hosts, other winners were: Cao Shuo CHN men’s triple jump 16.72m and Liu Xiangrong CHN women’s shot 18.73m.

India’s Jithin Thomas, who had won the first two meetings of the Asian GP series at Bangkok and Chonburi, could settle with a silver after clearing 2.21m while his teammate Nikhil Chittarasu also at the same height—his personal best—ended with a bronze medal.

Indian quarter-miler Arokia Rajiv had a convincing win in men’s 400m. Just two weeks to celebrate his 22nd birthday, the one-lapper improved his personal best to 46.54 secs for today’s victory. His teammate Poovamma once again clinched the women’s title.

Asian Grand Prix-2013

Jumpers Roman Valiyev and Darya Reznichenko steal the show in first leg

Bangkok, Thailand – 4 May 2013 : The first leg of this year’s Asian Grand Prix series was held at Thammasat Stadium in the Thai capital on Saturday evening in which athletes from 18 Asian nations besides Papua New Guinea taken part.

Two outstanding jumpers from central Asian republics of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan compensate the absence of top Chinese athletes who preferred to stay home and concentrate on their preparations for the forthcoming World championships in Moscow this August.

Roman Valiyev, former Asian triple jump champion from Kazakhstan, surprised everyone with his season leading 17.10m. It was indeed the second best mark ever in his career to date after his national mark of 17.20m which he established in his National championships at Almaty last year. Pre-meet favourites Renjith Maheswary (16.83) and Arpinder Singh (16.74) from India finished second and third respectively.

Uzbek long jumper Darya Reznichenko (22) could win no medal in last year’s AGP series in Thailand hence vowed to make it big this time. She realised her promise really big with a marvellous leap to 6.52m—another leading mark of the continent this year in that event and second best ever for her!

China’s Fan Guo was the fastest sprinter of the meet when he clocked 10.30 secs to win the men’s 100m. Chinese women made a clean sweep of medals in discus throw while the same was the case with Kazakh ladies in 100m hurdles.

Indian athletes had a profitable day with 4 gold medals went their way today. As expected one-lapper M.R. Poovamma annexed the gold in women’s 400m clocking 52.97 secs. In the men’s race Arokia Rajiv try to emulate Poovamma but Iran’s World Military Games champion Sajjad Hashemi proved too hard to beat at the end (46.70 to 46.91s).

Indian athletes annexed the high jump titles in both men and women divisions. In men’s event the Indians were 1-2 with Jithin Thomas takes the gold from compatriot Nikhil Chittarasu after the duo scaled an identical 2.18m. Olympian Sahana Kumari was a lucky winner on the distaff side after sharing the same height (1.86m) with Uzbekistan’s Asian Games silver medallist Nadezhda Dusanova.

Veteran Guzel Khubbieva of Uzbekistan, a multiple winner of sprint events in the Asian GP series of the past, was once again on the limelight as she clocked a noteworthy 11.77 secs to win the Race-C of women’s 100m. However the fastest woman title went to Viktoria Zyabkina of Kazakhstan, who clocked 11.61s in Race-B.

The second leg of the Asian Grand Prix will be held at Chonburi in Thailand on 8 May.

Asian  20K  Walking Championship 2013, Nomi, Japan

Japanese duo Suzuki and Otoshi clinched Asian Race Walking titles

Nomi City, Japan – 10 March 2013 : It was indeed a proud moment for the local organisers, whom for the past several years successfully conducted the Asian 20km Race Walking championships here, as the Japanese duo of Yusuke Suzuki and Kumi Otoshi clinched the top prizes.

Suzuki, bronze medallist in both World youth and junior championships in the past, was a pre-race favourite here. Having turned to 25 in the beginning of last month, Suzuki had won the Asian title earlier at the same venue three years ago.

Otoshi, like her teammate Suzuki, also was an Asian champion in Nomi during 2011 after having finished second in the earlier two years. The women’s race started at 9:45 in the morning, about two hours before the men’s event, when a shivering cold of 5 degrees Celsius put things difficult for the competitors. The heavy downpour prior to the start made the roads wet and slippery.

The 27-years-old Otoshi overcome the challenging weather and was more than two minutes faster than her nearest rivals right from the first half of the race. Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuc from Vietnam, the reigning South East Asian Games champion and a bronze medallist here last year, along with Korean Yeon Geun-Jeon tried their best to challenge Otoshi. However the Japanese walker, a Worlds finalist in 2011, increased her pace at each kilometre and clocked a modest 1:33:49 to win the Asian title for the second time. It was four minutes slower than her personal best 1:29:11 registered in this city during the Nationals two years ago.

Thi Thanh Phuc (1:35:26) and Geun-Jeon (1:35:49) claimed the silver and bronze medals respectively. The Indian record-holder Khushbir Kaur (19) finished fourth in 1:37:32, just four seconds slower than her national mark.

Suzuki improves national record
Things have been better when the men’s race commenced at 11:40. As expected Yusuke Suzuki led the race from the start. Chinese junior Li Tianlei (18) and India’s Gurmeet Singh were his nearest rivals.

Gurmeet, the former Indian record-holder, was a silver medallist here last year. He was trying to improve his position this time, but was lagging behind the Chinese walker in the second and third 5k segments. Singh made a desperate effort to catch-up with him in the final moments of the race but finished 10 secs behind Tianlei at the finish.

Suzuki bettered his personal best and Japanese national record by clocking 1:18:34. Tianlei (1:21:28) and Gurmeet (1:21:38) took the next two spots on the podium. (Ram. Murali Krishnan for the AAA)

14th Asian Marathon Championship 2013 , Hong Kong

Feb 25, 2013: The 14th Asian Marathon championships have been incorporated in this year’s Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon held today.

Mongolian Ser-Od Bat-Ochir was familiar with the HK marathon course. The 31-year-old runner is already credited with a personal best time of 2:11:05 while finished second in last year at Oita, Japan. Moreover he also had a silver medal when the Asian Marathon championships was organised along with the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon earlier in 2008 and went on to win the gold in the Good Luck Beijing marathon organised before the Olympic Games at Chinese capital that year. However he was very anxious to add the continental title to his kitty which he eventually accomplished today with a modest time of 2:17:56.

Kim garnered third-ever title in women’s race
North Korea’s 27-year-old Kim Kum Ok was a strong runner among those who lined-up this morning in the women’s race. With two back-to-back Asian Marathon titles from 2006 (Beijing) and 2008 (Hong Kong) already on her cap, the current World Military champion received little opposition in Japanese Kumi Ogura. Although Ogura clocked a creditable PB in 2:35:02 on the South China territory, experience helped Kim to ward off the challenge and went ahead to win in 2:32:21. It was indeed a cake-walk for her when compared to the 2008 hard-fought race which she won at the post from country-mate Jong Yong-Ok in an identical 2:36:43.

This year’s Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon title went to Julius Maisei of Kenya in 2:14:18 while Ethiopian Misiker Demissie successfully defends the women’s crown by clocking 2:30:49. (Ram. Murali Krishnan for AAA)
