DOHA (QAT): MenÂ´s 110 m hurdles at DL opener in Doha on Friday will have a special flair around as everybody will expect the result of Jamaican World indoor champion Omar McLeod after his recent results (sub 10 in the 100 m and WL in the hurdles in rain and cold). But nothing is for granted, in the field other four sub 13 hurdlers. Orlando Ortega who will debut into the season and David Oliver, Hansle Parchment with Olympic winner Aries Merritt all clearly beaten by McLeod on Saturday at Drake Relays. Not to understimate French Dimitri Bascou who improved indoors at 60 m hurdles. The field is completed by South African champion Antonio Alkana and US Spencer Adams. OliverÂ´s meet record 12.95 from 2008 will be under threat.
