FEARON FLYING

THE performance of the weekend was Joel Fearon’s 9.96 100m. It doesn’t say much for the talent spotting ability of British coaches and selectors if our fastest man of the moment isn’t in the Rio squad.

The well-drilled team has medal chances but would have been even better with a 9.96 man.

THROWERS ON TOP FORM

GERMANY

Schoenbeck, July 29

FOUR German throwers showed medalwinning form in what for most was their final pre-Rio competition.

David Storl won the shot with 21.23m throw, while Robert Harting’s 66.95m dominated the discus.

The women’s event was of an even higher standard as Julia Fischer won with 67.47m just ahead of Australian Dani Samuels’ 67.02m and Nadine Muller’s 66.84m.

Betty Heidler, with 73.21m, won the hammer.

The only international winner was Gong Lijiao from China, whose 19.73m shot edged world champion Christina Schwanitz’s 19.71m.

Mannheim, July 29

WITH a quartet who all ran 11.04 or faster in the individual 100m, Germany’s women showed they have a realistic chance of 4x100m relay gold medal as they ran a world-leading 41.62.

Tatjana Pinto won one of the 100m in a legal 11.00 ahead of Gina Luckenkemper 11.04, while Rebecca Haase won a windy heat in 10.98.

In the men’s 100m, Julian Reus improved his German 100m record to 10.01.

European 110m hurdles champion Cindy Roleder won two of the women’s races in 12.81 and 12.72, although Nadine Hildebrand was even faster in another race with 12.64.

RUSSIA

Moscow, July 28

FEW leading Russians showed Olympic medal-winning form in the meeting specially organised for athletes suspended from the Rio Olympics.

Ivan Ukhov’s 2.35m high jump and world champion Sergey Shubenkov’s 13.23 110m hurdles were the meeting’s highlights.

Anzhelika Sidorova (4.75m) and Illya Mudrov (5.80m) in the pole vault also impressed.

Depth was lacking from the track events but Timofey Chalyy’s 48.57 400m hurdles took victory as world silver medallist Denis Kudryavtsev finished third in 49.43.

World high jump champion Mariya Kuchina needed only 1.88m for victory. Men: 110H: 1 S Shubenkov 13.23. 400H: 1 T Chalyy 48.57; 2 I Shablyuev
