  • Women's 100M and Strong Fields in the Throws to Take the Spotlight In
    Thursday, 06 May 2010 Women’s 100m and strong fields in the throws to take the spotlight in Osaka - IAAF World Challenge Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica wins the women's 60m title in Doha beating pre-race favourite LaVerne Jones-Ferrette (Getty Images) Two reigning World champions and a pair of reigning Olympic champions will headline the Osaka Grand Prix on Saturday, the second IAAF World Challenge meeting of 2010. 100m debut for Campbell-Brown Leading the field in the women’s 100m will be Jamaica’s two-time Olympic 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown. Earlier this year, Campbell-Brown won the World indoor title in the 60m in Doha, and outdoors has run 22.32 in the 200m. Osaka will be her 2010 100m debut on the same track at Nagai Stadium where she took the short dash World title in 2007. From the Japanese perspective, this race will attract the most attention, for Chisato Fukushima has already set two national records this season. At the Oda Meet in Hiroshima on 29 April, Fukushima lowered the Japanese 100m record to 11.21, and on 3 May at the Shizuoka International in Fukuroi she set a national 200m record of 22.89, the first sub-23 second clocking recorded by Japanese. In both Oda and Shizuoka, Fukushima was well ahead of her competitions and in Osaka she will be chasing faster runners and if she does not tie up, so another assault on her record could be in the cards. The field also includes American Angela Williams, the 2008 World indoor 60m champion.

We did not know it at the time, but the entry list was laden with superstars of the future, including Hicham El Guerrouj, Haile Gebrselassie, Koji Murofushi, Debbie Ferguson, Cathy Freeman and Paula Radcliffe. It is quite possible that some of these names might return to the Korean peninsula in 2011, but for sure we will see many more athletes of their calibre bidding for world medals. Now we are at the 13th edition of our World Championships. With each staging, a book such as this becomes more important. There are ever more results and associated statistics to cram into a book which must be handy for those to carry to and from Daegu Stadium for each day of action. It is sad that the 12 books which preceded this are not much use now, because even some of the things we would not have expected to change have had to be revised due to dop- ing revelations and fluctuation in the way certain names are spelt.
