Eusebio Caceres of Spain had probably the best day of all in Madrid with his 8.16 meter victory in the long jump. Lots of middle distance runners looking for a last fast race before Commonwealths and Euros. Lyndsay Sharp ran sub two minutes and Molly Beckwith opened my eyes with a 1;59.32 in Monaco on Friday and a 2:01 here on Saturday! Wow!

Spanish win for Caceres in long jump
MADRID (ESP, Jul 19): The 32nd Meeting Madrid (IAAF World Challenge at new track of Mortalaz Stadium) had some fine sprinting but aided by too much wind. For example the hurdles 13.18 (+3.0) by US Aleec Harris ahead of Shane Brathwaite of Barbados 13.32, Wayne Davis of Trinidad and Tobago 13.34 and Hungarian Balazs Baji 13.38 with German Gregor Traber 13.39. Even second from Herculis Orlando Ortega was there but did not finish the race. US Maurice Mitchell topped the 200 m in 20.47 (+2.5) over Mexican record holder Jose Carlos Herrera 20.49. More luck in first race for Bryshon Nellum 20.66 (+2.0). Bahamian Latoy Williams was the fastest in the 400 m with 45.17 beating Renny Quow 45.36 and US Kyle Clemons 45.37. World leader Kaliese Spencer came from Monaco to win the 400 m hurdles 55.08 ahead of Ukrainian Anna Titimets 55.49. In women 100 m (+2.6) Barbara Pierre edged Jamaican Kerron Stewart, both 11.08. Jamaican Stephanie McPherson dominated in the 400 m with good 50.45. Briton Lynsey Sharp won the 800 m in her secod best of the career 1:59.72 over US Charlene Lipsey 2:00.91 PB. Kenyan Stacy Ndiwa confirmed top shape with 3000 m win in 8:48.30 PB. Men distances suffered with wind, Job Kinyor won the 800 m in 1:46.11 and Collins Cheboi both of Kenya the 1500 m in 3:36.49. In technical events good sign for home Eusebio Caceres winning the long jump with windy 816 (+4.1, legal 798) over Jean Marie Okutu 805 (+2.9) and favorites Tyron Stewart of USA 802 (+1.5) and South African Khotso Mokoena 800 (+1.4). World indoor champion Ryan Whiting comes into shape with 20.91 shot put win over Jamaican O´Dayne Richards 20.33. Tajikistan´s Dilshod Nazarov produced excellent 80.51 to win the hammer (part of IAAF Hammer Challenge) ahead of Egyptian record holder Mostafa Al-Gamel 78.23 (best result outside Egypt). Women winners Tina Sutej of Slovenia 440 in the pole vault and Ukrainian Natalia Semenova 60.27 in discus.
