The fans at the Golden Spike were treated to some fine racing in Ostrava yesterday! Justin Gatlin won his eighth straight with the fastest time of the year, in 9.86. Caleb Ndiku lead a plethora of distance runners through the 3,000 meters, running 7:31.66! LaShawn Merritt, three days after his win in NYC, ran a fine 400 meter run in 44.16!

With Lavillenie in the pole vault (5.83m), Majewski in the shot put (20.90m) and Bondarenko, after his 2.42m, clears and wins at 2.33m.
The women had five under 2:00, with Winnie Nanyondo of Uganda winning in 1:59.27, and Allyson Felix winning her second race of the year, at 200 meters with 22.75.
This meet is on my bucket list for 2015.
