    So while the big show may be done and dusted, the season is by no way over. The one good thing about the earlier timing of these championships is the significant post-championship race programme. Plus, we've got the Intercontinental Cup taking place in Split, which replaces the World Cup, and will definitely feature at least one Irish athlete, Derval O'Rourke.

    O'Rourke herself is competing again in Brussels in about three weeks time, as per her blog, while Gillick is racing tomorrow in Lucerne, next week in London and in Zurich.

    A few Irish in action in Amsterdam today as well. Here's hoping for a raft of PBs for the rest of the season.

    Fionnuala Britton continued her good form after qualifying for the Euro Champs final last week, with a first place finish in Belgium in 9.44.97. Only four competitors in the race probably ran it mostly on her own.

    Martin Fagan ran a 28.46 10k in a tough road race in America this weekend finishing ninth behind 7 Africans. Only 6 seconds behind Martin Lel. The winning time was 27.40 from Gebremariam a guy who can run well under 27 minutes on the track. Fagan probably in sub 28 minute 10k track shape going on results.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,614 ✭✭✭Rineanna


    Lucerne meet is on British Eurosport at 3.30pm. Gillick's running, I believe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 307 ✭✭TrackFan123


    He got trounced, got won in 45.5x by a little known american, he was either 2nd or 3rd and i'm guessing ran 45.9 or evm 46. x :(

    It was very windy though, the pole vaulters were abandoning jumps and Nesta Carter ran 9.86 first race back from injury!

    Betters has a PB of 44.70 from this year! Gillick ran 45.95. Michelle Carey clocked 57.87 for 2nd in the 'B' 400mHurdles and Christie clocked 7:58.* for 5th in the 3000m.

    Gee, what a coincidence! He set his previous PB last year on the same date!

    I hope a major championship 400m coincides with August 8 in the future! :D

    NO way..
    I heard Gregan getting slated for his type of running by BBC and JK mentioned it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 100 ✭✭scouser82


    What did people make of Gillicks run today? I thought it was good to see him back out there running. Its the only way the wounds from Barcelona will heal quickly, to get back into the thick of it. Onwards and upwards. The man will be back better than ever.

    Great to hear of Gregans PB.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭thirtyfoot


    Well done Gregan. Only getting into serious shape after his injury.

    In London next Saturday, Gillick will line up with Wariner, Torrance, Bingham, Rooney, Borlee (Kevin) among others. He should need no further motivation to get out there and perform.

    Hession also slated to run there, in 200m. Top class field featuring Spearmon, Carter, Bailey, Ndure, Martina and local favourites Malcom and Devonish. No Bolt of course (due to taxman) and Gay (who is lining up in 100m).

    Great to see a rake of PBs from our elite - clear that they are getting straight back in to competition after Barca. Colvert is some talent!

    God, the PBs are coming thick and fast today!

    She can now head into the winter training knowing she is still a great athlete. Fair play to her to bounce back. I read somewhere that Derval O' Rourke likes the way Proper does things. They may be cut from the same cloth. Kelly has many great years ahead of her despite what the hurlers on the ditch say about her and her coaching setup.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 130 ✭✭sleapy235


    Great stuff from Kelly, great to see that she took the positives from Barcelona and came out this week with a brilliant new NR. A lot of new NRs this year: men's 50km walk (x2), women's 100m, women's 100m hurdles, women's 4x100m (x2), women's 4x400m, women's pole vault, women's long jump. 9 senior records in one year is not bad going at all :)

    Add to that NJR's from Mageean, Maher and Veale then its looking very rosy indeed!

    I'm just happy Chamney is running again, it seems that he realised that the Euro's were not the end of the world and hopefully after a few weeks back into a proper training schedule he'll be back into under 1.46 and better!

    I wouldnt say a hangover for chameny , he has been sick so would take a few week to get back into it, but not too bad a 800m to start with.

    Tyson Gay runs 9.78 tonight in London. Fastest time in the world this year. Into a headwind aswell.

    Priscilla (12.52) looked great in beating Sally Pearson (12.61) in the 100 Hurdles.

    I tell ya Derval will need to bring her absolute A-game to medal in Daegu next year, as some of these girls look awfully good, but we all know she is capable of doing that.

    Tirunish Dibaba makes 14:36 look SOOOOOOOOOOOO easy. Was strolling for most of that race. It got me thinking, how fast could Sonia go if she was around now, competeing against Defar, Dibaba etc. She said in her autobiography that she had a 14:30 in her in 1995, if she ever needed it. But she never needed it as nobody was good enough to push her to that level, so she only ran 14:41 that season, when she was at her absolute peak. So I've always wondered how fast she could have gone if she was around now against these girls.

    Blanka is just fantastic. Had the HJ won at 1.94, but stuck around for another 45 minutes to enterain the crowd, in miserable weather. She is one of the finest representatives of the sport. Cant say enough good things about her.

    Oh, and Queen Harrison is apparantly one of 23 children! DEAR GOD!!! :eek::eek::eek:

    If Gay can keep up this Kind of form and Stay injury free, he should beat bolt in Daegu next year !

    Ah here now, lets not go OTT. Usain has run 9.58. Tyson has run 9.69. Bit of a difference there. I'm sure Usain can take his time down, but can Gay get below 9.58? I wouldnt be so sure. Both guys at 100%, there is only one winner I'm afraid!

    :

    The time that is most representative of Sonia's talent is the 8.21.64 3k she ran. Gabrielle Szabo is the only athlete in history to have run faster and that was only 0.22 seconds faster (I don't count that group of Chinese women as athletes).

    Her 3k time would indicate that 14.30 was in her capabilities. It would have been great to see her compete against the likes of Dibaba.

    Well, they're there in the record books, so deal with it. Sonia did.

    That doesnt mean squat! The East Germans are still in the record books, even after their system of decades of systematic doping was uncovered to the whole world.

    Anyway lets not get into a discussion about the Chinese athletes. It never ends well.

    Indeed 14:30 was within her capabilities in 1995, just she was never pushed by anyone into having to run that fast. When she ran her 14:41.40 in Berlin(which was her PB at the time, and she only bettered once after that, in Sydney) she said afterwards that she could have easily run a world record but she didnt get any help from the other girls that night (probably because Ribeiro wanted to try protect her World Record). If she was running against the likes of Defar and Dibaba nowadays, in her 1994/1995 form, I'd say she could run well below 14:30, perhaps 14:25.

    Cheers for that lad. I actually travelled over to Barcelona to support her but whatever.

    Of course she will have to bring her A-game. To medal at a Worlds and Olympics you need to run sub 12.6 most of the time. But she can most definetely do that.

    Not sure what to make of Gillys run there. Time not great but beat Borlee and Rooney which is at least something. Not a good lane draw for him either in lane 8.

    Hesh didnt stand much chance in lane 1, and came 7th.

    The provisional entry list is up for the Continental Cup in Split on 4/5 September.

    http://www.iaaf.org/mm/document/competitions/competition/05/79/73/20100813035146_httppostedfile_split-women-entries_21856.pdf

    I had a look through the all-time stats of the event here:

    http://www.iaaf.org/mm/document/competitions/competition/05/79/40/20100809103225_httppostedfile_split2010_21818.pdf

    And Derval becomes only the 5th Irish Athlete ever to be selected to represent Europe, after John Treacy (7th in 10000m in 1979), Eamonn Coghlan (1st in 5000m in 1981), John Doherty (2nd in 5000m in 1989) and Sonia O'Sullivan (5th in 1500m in 1994, and 1st in 5000m in 1998). So thats a great honour for Derval.

    Her competitors are: Perdita Felicien, Lolo Jones (Americas), Nevin Yanit (Europe), Sally Pearson, Asuka Terada (Asia/Pacific), Seun Adigun, Gnima Faye (Africa).

    It looks like a 5 horse race there to be fair. Can anybody tell me if they give out medals for this event to the top 3 in each event? If they do its another great opportunity to add a major medal to her CV.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,029 ✭✭✭Pisco Sour


    Derval is running in Zurich tomorrow night. Great news.

    http://dervalorourke.blogspot.com/2010/08/packing-bags.html

    Gillick seems to be down on the provisional start list.

    Looking forward to it. Outside of the major championships the Weltklasse is the highlight of the Athletics calender.

    With the Continental Cup to prepare for I can see her end of season form this year being better than previous years. Also she hasnt raced in nearly 3 weeks which could be a good thing. In her blog she said that last year she rushed into too many races after the Worlds and didnt have much left for them.

    I'm going to make a prediction that she goes around 12.75-12.80 and finishes about 5th or 6th!

    Hopefully come Split in a couple of weeks she'll be running close to her best./ The Continental Cup is a unique championship and will no doubt be her only ever chance at it so I'm sure she'll be well up for that one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 461 ✭✭runjb


    I'd tend to agree, I'd expect the same 12.70/80 from her tomorrow night. I hope she can mix it up then with the best in the Intercontinental cup.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,049 ✭✭✭Brianderunner


    Horrible run from gillick there, he's finished for the season


  • Registered Users Posts: 461 ✭✭runjb


    Yea very poor clocking by Gillick, a disappointing way to end the season. Going by his blog he seemed frustrating with his coach recently so it'll be interesting to see if any changes occur in the near future.

    Derval produced a typical DOR post - championships performance:D
    You'd have to admire her, she can really turn it on when she wants to!!
