Jessica Ennis showed that she has something left up her tactical sleeve, with a brilliant heptathlon win in Gotzis Hypo-Meeting this past weekend. Ennis scored 6906, the number eight performance of all times. 

Ennis is the golden girl of London media and London 2012 sponsors. The eyes of the athletic world are on her. Ennis, who took second in both the World Outdoors and World Indoor Challenge, had the satisfaction of defeating both her rivals in Gotzis. 

Her brilliant javelin improvement was one of her key surprises this weekend. When Ennis ran 2:09.00 for 800 meters, she added the final points on her world leading, new British record of 6,906, breaking Diana Lewis Record, which dated back to 2000, by seventy-five points.

ENNIS 6906 NR

GOTZIS (AUT, May 27): Jessica Ennis sent out an early season message that she can win the Olympic Games heptathlon title with a stunning victory and new British record at the Hypo-Meeting in Gotzis on Sunday. Ennis over two days of intense action and in a field which included reigning Olympic champion Natalya Dobrynska who beat her for the World Indoor pentathlon title two months ago and Tatyana Chernova who deprived her of the World outdoor heptathlon crown last summer, was in fantastic form. The 26-year-old after holding an overnight lead of 221 points performed even more confidently when returning to the Mosle Stadium to win for the third successive year and smash Denise Lewis’s 12-year-old British record. Ennis amassed a tally of 6906 points to move to eight position on the World All-Time list and smash the mark Lewis achieved three months before winning the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games gold medal by 75 points in Talence, France. On a memorable morning at the Austrian venue she opened her second session clearing 6.51 metres in the long jump then throwing a javelin personal best of 47.11m. Needing to clock 2:14.00 to smash the UK record she ran 2:09.00 just 0.06sec behind Chernova. The Russian claimed second place overall scoring 6774pts with Lyudmila Yosypenko scoring a personal best of 6604pts while her fellow Ukrainian Dobrynska wound up in ninth position (6311). Impressive Dutch U23 record for Dafne Schippers with 6360 as 7th (including superb 200 m 22.73, second best ever in heptathlon). 22 athletes scored over 6000 points. In men decathlon sensational win and improvement for Hans Van Alphen of Belgium 8519 points, world lead and national record. Second Dutch Eelco Sintnicolaas also national record 8506 points and third German Pascal Behrenbruch 8433 with 8 athletes over 8000 points. With help from David Martin.

TARIKU YES, HAILE NO

HENGELO (NED, May 27): Haile Gebrselassie was unsuccessful in his attempt to win a fifth successive Olympic Games 10,000 metres vest for Ethiopia when finishing sixth at the trial race in Hengelo at FBK Games (IAAF World Challenge). Gebrselassie was one of over a dozen Ethiopian’s who travelled to the FBK-Games where the first two across the line were assured of the trip to London in August with the national selectors retaining the discretion to name the remaining runner. Gebrselassie gave it his best shot and recorded a time of 27:20.39 (the best ever for a 39 years old) as Tariku Bekele and Lelisa Desisa were first across the line with marks of 27:11.70 WL and 27:11.98. “The Games in London is over for me,” said the 39-year-old two-time Olympic gold medallist at the distance. “I ran a good race until the last lap. I felt good but I manifestly didn’t have the speed to compete against my rivals.” Kenenisa Bekele the reigning Olympic 10,000m champion and elder brother of the race winner is believed to have been pencilled in for the remaining position providing he can prove his fitness in the next few weeks. Hannah England last summer’s World Championships 1500m silver medallist in her first outdoor appearance at the distance this season was also successful winning in a time of 4:04.05 (behind her good improvements for other European runners Corinna Harrer 4:04.81 and Laure Weightman 4:04.88). Martyn Rooney producing a third 400m sub-45sec performance in the last month of 44.97, finished runner up behind Santos Luguelin of the Dominican Republic who clocked 44.45 the second fastest time of the year and is third best ever junior perfomer behind Steve Lewis and Kirani James (and senior NR). Great marks also in other distance races. Adam Kszczot clocked 1:43.83 in the 800 m and other 5 runners went under 1:45 including improvement for German Soren Ludolph 1:44.80. Kenyan Nixon Chepseba who looked injured in Ostrava won the 1500 in superb 3:29.90 PB (22nd runner under 3:30 ever) over Ayanleh Suleiman of Djibouti who achieved 3:30.31 NR. Women´s 800 m was also great with 1:57.79 for Kenyan Janeth Jepkosgei over improved Cuban Yusneysi Santiusti 1:58.53 and national record for Ugandan Annet Negusa 1:59.08. Good wins in sprints for US Kellie Wells (12.81 -0.9), Charonda Williams (22.73 -0.9 ahead of home Jamile Samuel who improved to 22.93) and Ronnie Ash (13.31, -0.6). Churandy Martina took the men´s 100 m final in 10.18 (-0.6). In technical events commanding wins for world champion Robert Harting in discus (68.13), European champion Philips Idowu in the triple jump (17.31, +1.0) and for Zaneta Glanc in women discus (64.71).

RABAT (MAR, May 27): World lead by Vincent Chepkok in the 5000 m (12:59.28) was the highlight of the 5th Meeting International Mohammed VI d’Athlétisme (IAAF World Challenge).

Mohamed Aman clocked impressive 1:43.58 in the 800 m over Leonard Kosencha who got Kenyan junior record 1:43.60.

LUCH MOSCOW AND FIAMME GIALLE

VILA REAL DE SANTO ANTONIO (POR, May 26-27): Luch Moscow’s women’s team won the European Champion Clubs Cup for the 16th consecutive year but there was an upset as Italy’s Fiamme Gialle took the men’s title at the Track and Field Senior Group A meeting in the Portuguese town of Vila Real de Santo António. The Luch women won five of the nine events on the second day to finish with 144 points while Spain’s Valencia Terra i Mar had a strong second day to tally 118 points, and finish as the runners up for the 10th time in the last 12 years. Turkish club Enka Spor Kulubu, second behind Luch 12 months ago, were one place further down the on this occasion but were just half a point behind the Spaniards. At the other end of the table, French club CA Montreuil and Dutch team Rotterdam Atletiek were relegated. Hammer thrower Tatyana Lysenko, the 2006 European Athletics Championships and 2011 World Championships gold medallist won with 71.96. Luch’s Yelena Sokolova, the 2009 European Athletics Indoor Championships long jump silver medallist, had the perfect following wind of 2.0 metres-per-second for her opening effort and flew out to a personal best of 6.95m, the second best result by a European jumper this year. High jumper Svetlana Shkolina, a finalist at the last two World Championships and a Cup winner last year, also easily delivered maximum points for Luch and cleared 1.95m with her second attempt before failing at 1.98m. Both Fiamme Gialle – the last team apart from Luch to win the men’s crown when they came out on top in 2005 – and Spain’s Playas de Castellon had 127 points but the Italians got the verdict by virtue of having more individual victories. On this occasion, the Luch Moscow men had to settle for third with 119 points. However, the top men’s contest on the second day was without doubt the discus, which saw Playas de Castellon’s Spanish international Frank Casañas, who was a winner last year, launch his implement out to 67.74m in the third round. The former World Junior Championships medallist, and fifth at the 2008 Olympic Games, produced the second best throw of his career to come from behind after Enka’s Olgundeniz had lead with his opener of 65.11m and then he followed that up with a Turkish record of 67.50m in the next round. Great Britain’s 2010 European Athletics Championships 110m hurdles gold medallist Andy Turner, representing City of Manchester, won over the barriers in a season’s best of 13.41. The British team comfortably avoided relegation even though they finished sixth and it was Czech club VSK Universita Brno and Switzerland’s LG Bern who went down. The best women’s performance of the first day came from Luch’s 800m runner Yekaterina Poistogova, who won over two laps of the track in 2:00.75. Enka got their expected maximum points in the 100m thanks to Bulgaria’s Ivet Lalova, the fastest European woman over the distance last year, who sped to a wind-assisted time of 11.26. Fiamme Gialle got off to a good start when hammer thrower Nicola Vizzoni, the 2000 Olympic Games and 2010 European Athletics Championships silver medallist, comfortably won the first event of the day with 76.17m. Portuguese record holder and European Cup Winter Throwing winner Marco Fortes, competing for Sport Lisboa e Benfica, battled hard with his Russian rival Maksim Sidorov (20.96) and reached 20.52 in the third round but had to settle for second place. Another impressive mark was posted in the long jump when Playas de Castellon’s Luis Felipe Meliz was blown out to 8.21m, aided by a 3.5mps following wind. Briton Andrew Robertson sprinted to 10.24 (+3.4). With help from European Athletics.

Kipsang entered the stadium first, with teammate Korir 50m behind and Kipchirchir on their tail. He went on to win the USD 21,000 prize purse clocking exactly 28 minutes, leaving the course record of 27:51 set by Eritrean Zersenay Tadese in the inaugural edition here in 2008 remain intact.

She went out hard, aiming for a 2:22 time but twice stopped at the side of the road with stomach cramps. At 14km or so, she was forced to abandon the race spending the next hour in a medical tent. Yeshi Esayias, who ran 2:26:00 for second place at this year’s Tokyo Marathon, and fellow Ethiopian Biruktawit Degefa ran together through 30 kilometres (1:46:50) before Esayias pushed on alone in chase of the course record 2:27:4
1 held by Asmae Leghazoui of Morocco. In the end she fell short recording 2:28:46 for the victory.
