Steve Hooker (AUS) “It was my first comp of the year and we (Hasse Sjogren) were treating it like an extended training session,” said Hooker. “I cleared the opening height of 5.50 on my first attempt and then went to 5.70, 5.80 and 5.90 before having a crack at 6.00m.” http://www.iaaf.org/news/Kind=2/newsId=43037.html 28/01/2008 IAAF International Association of Athletics Federations - IAAF.org - News Page 2 of 2 “The conditions were perfect and my first attempt was good, but I needed to go up to a bigger pole, on my second I bailed and got it on the third.” After mistakenly believing he had cleared 6.00m when setting his personal best of 5.96m in Berlin in 2006, Hooker said he had already achieved the feat “mentally”. “My weakness the past few years has been converting my form on the runway in training to competitions. I have been inconsistent when I get to competitions and it looks like it is getting better – at least today anyway,” confirmed Hooker. He will jump again in Perth next weekend, before heading to Melbourne for the World Athletics Tour meeting on Thursday 21 February and the Australian titles and Olympic selection trials in Brisbane (28 Feb – 1 Mar). The 25-year-old is also targetting the 12th IAAF World Indoor Championships in Valencia, Spain (7-9 March).

  • A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships
    A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships The first 70 years The World Cross Country Championships, often considered the toughest footraces on the planet, may be more difficult to win than the Olympics or the World Championships in Athletics. The predecessor of the World Cross Country Championships was the International Cross Country Championships, inaugurated in 1903. With only four countries (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) initially participating, these championships could hardly be considered “international” during their early years. However, by 1972, when 197 runners from 15 countries competed, the championships had gained international stature. Three great runners — Jack Holden (GBR), the 1950 European marathon champion; Alain Mimoun (FRA), the 1956 Olympic marathon champion; and Gaston Roelants (BEL), the 1964 Olympic 3000mSC champion — won four individual titles during the days of International Cross Country Championships. In the women’s event, Doris Brown won five straight championships from 1967 to 1971. Many Olympic medalists won the International Cross Country Championships. Jean Bouin (FRA), who won the silver medal at 5000m in the 1912 Olympics, won three championships from 1911, while Mohammed Gommoudi (TUN), who won the 5000m in the 1968 Olympics, also won the International Cross Country Championships in the same year. Franjo Mihalic (YUG), Rhadi ben Abdesselem (MAR), and Basil Heatley (GBR), all Olympic marathon silver medalist, won the International Cross Country Championships. However, because participation was generally limited to runners from nations that were members of the International Cross Country Union (ICCU), the championships were not truly “world” in scope. In fact, Emil Zatopek (CZE), 1952 Helsinki triple gold medalist, and Vladimir Kuts (URS), 1956 Melbourne double Olympic champion, never competed at the International Cross Country Championships.

Publisher: Riël Hauman ____________________________________________________________________ EDITORIAL If there is such a thing as an undramatic Comrades Marathon, this one was it. Claude Moshiywa was at the front of the 88 th Comrades since he took the lead on one of the five big hills, Inchanga, soon after the halfway mark and for the last 90 minutes he ran unchallenged to the finish in Pietermaritzburg. The hot and very windy conditions slowed him over the last 10 km and he had an especially tough time up the last hill, Polly Shorts, which crests just less than 8 km from the end, but he won comfortably in 5:32:08 to become the first South African winner of the “up” run since Jetman Msutu took the title in 1992. Moshiywa’s winning margin over the Swede Jonas Buud, who sliced through the field in the second half, was 9:12. The reigning “down” run champion, Ludwick Mamabolo, finished fourth, while defending up run champion Stephen Muzinghi took the last gold medal. Five South African men finished in the top ten. In the women’s race it was business as usual, with the Nurgalieva twins filling the first two positions. Elena got her eighth victory, just one short of the record nine of Bruce Fordyce, in 6:27:08.

In the women’s event, Doris Brown won five straight championships from 1967 to 1971. Many Olympic medalists won the International Cross Country Championships. Jean Bouin (FRA), who won the silver medal at 5000m in the 1912 Olympics, won three championships from 1911, while Mohammed Gommoudi (TUN), who was second at 5000m in the 1968 Olympics won the International Cross Country Championships in the same year. Franjo Mihalic (YUG), Rhadi ben Abdesselem (MAR), and Basil Heatley (GBR), all Olympic marathon silver medalist, won the International Cross Country Championships. However, because participation was generally limited to runners from nations that were members of the International Cross Country Union (ICCU), the championships were not truly “world” in scope. In fact, Emil Zatopek (CZE), 1952 Helsinki triple gold medalist, and Vladimir Kuts (URS), 1956 Melbourne double Olympic champion, never competed at the International Cross Country Championships.
