Sunday (7) who retained her European shot put title in Rome last month lay down a huge marker for the Paris 2024 Olympics she produced a national record of 20.33m with her final effort to beat double world champion Chase Jackson of the United States and China’s Olympic champion Gong Lijiao A second-round season’s best of 20.00m for Gong looked likely to earn victory until Jackson produced a throw of 20.07m with her penultimate effort and Schilder lifted a big roar from the crowd before jumping for joy herself as she heard news of her record “The sixth throw – I really wanted to make something special out of it,” Schilder said Niels Laros had already given home fans reasons to be cheerful by winning the men’s 1000m in a national and world U20 record of 2:14.37 “I didn't really have any expectations for today because it is my first real race of the season,” he said Niels Laros after winning the 1000m in Hengelo (© Dan Vernon) who won European U18 titles at 1500m and 3000m in 2022 and European U20 versions last year finished well inside the target mark of 2:15.05 set by Marko Koers in 1997 Bol also pleased the home crowd by winning the 400m flat in a meeting record of 50.02 who will concentrate on that individual event in Paris as she seeks to challenge the Olympic champion and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was followed home by Martina Weil in a Chilean record of 51.05 On a day when Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon had improved her own 1500m world record to 3:49.04 2019 world champion Sifan Hassan faded to fifth in that discipline in Hengelo It was a result that may influence the 31-year-old’s choice of events at the Olympics in Paris where she may now decide not to prioritise improving the 1500m bronze she earned in 2021 at the Tokyo Games who had decided against running the 10,000m the evening before was overtaken around the final bend by Melissa Courtney-Bryant of Britain Two others moved past Hassan in the final 50 metres – Yolanda Ngarambe of Sweden (4:04.50) Hassan was characteristically enigmatic afterwards “I think I did my warm-up too early and then I cooled down before the race,” she said but I just made a mistake to cool myself down too much “I don't think it says anything about the shape I'm in I still have three weeks to have good training and then I will decide which distances I will run in Paris At this moment I don't have a goal for Paris but for now I want to be the best in all distances and then I will decide.” Burkina Faso’s world champion Hugues Fabrice Zango produced a season’s best and meeting record of 17.57m with his final effort in the triple jump to win his ninth out of 10 competitions this year victory appeared destined for Algeria’s Mohammed Triki whose second-round effort of 17.07m gave him an early lead Third place went to Germany’s Max Hess with 17.03m Britain’s world and Olympic 800m silver medallist Keely Hodgkinson who retained her European title in Rome last month won in classic fashion as she saw off the lingering challenge of South Africa’s Prudence Sekgodiso a winner at the Marrakech and Oslo Diamond League meetings who ran a world-leading 1:55.78 in Eugene earlier in the season pulled away in the final straight to finish 10 metres clear in 1:57.36 “I wanted a little bit more with the time but I haven't properly gone after an 800m since Eugene and that was such a different race so I'm happy to be back out here doing my best,” Hodgkinson said “I was glad I decided to run the Europeans and now I'm just fully focused on Paris and everything is going well I just have more race before: the London Diamond League that's an iconic one so I'm really looking forward to it.” Asked again to comment on the absence of the defending champion from Paris following her fall at the US Trials I was gutted because I feel like that race has been really hyped up and it's an unfortunate thing that has happened I'm really sad not to see her there but I'm sure we'll have many battles in the future.” Puerto Rico’s Olympic 100m hurdles champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn won in chilly overcast conditions in a meeting record of 12.39 pushed to the line by home athlete Nadine Visser Third-placed Marione Fourie of South Africa took third place in a national record of 12.49 with Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska fourth in 12.57 Kenya’s Commonwealth champion Ferdinand Omanyala won the men’s 100m in 10.01 with Ronnie Baker of the United States second in 10.03 and third place going to Canada’s Olympic 200m champion Andre De Grasse Home interest had centred on 40-year-old Churandy Martina running in Hengelo for the 17th and last time and still carrying hopes of contesting a sixth Olympics Mykolas Alekna in the discus in Hengelo (© Dan Vernon) Lithuania’s 21-year-old world record-holder Mykolas Alekna earned victory in the discus with a first-round best of 69.07m with Australia’s Matthew Denny second on 68.17m and Lukas Weisshaidinger who took silver to Alekna’s bronze at last month’s European Championships Ethiopia’s Telahun Bekele won a tactical men’s 5000m in 13:01.12 from Kenya’s Nicholas Kipkorir (13:02.25) A Hengelo resident was very surprised to find a sleeping wolf in his shed on Monday morning the animal was sedated and released into the woods A veterinarian checked the wolf over before releasing it back into the wild and concluded that it was unhurt the province of Gelderland told local media The local found the wolf and called the police at around 10:15 a.m Officers cordoned off the garden with tape and called in a game warden for backup The police kept the road clear to give the animal a safe route to escape should it decide to flee An Omroep Gelderland reporter at the scene reported that the wolf was sleeping peacefully game wardens sedated the wolf from a distance and carried the animal away A veterinarian examined the wolf and determined that it had no visible injuries The game wardens placed the animal in the woods where it could wake up peacefully and continue on its way “It was a fairly unusual situation,” a spokesperson for the province told the broadcaster Many locals gathered around the home to try and catch a glimpse of the wolf “You always hear that they are walking around further away and now it is suddenly here,” one woman told Omroep Gelderland The broadcaster found no fear among locals but there were some concerns about the nearby playground and livestock in the area This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security

defend the 10,000m and 1500m titles she won at this meeting last year – performances that were sandwiched between her winning marathon debut in London in April and a second victory over 26.2 miles in Chicago in October A live stream of the 10,000m will be available on Inside Track without geo-restrictions. The live stream will begin at 8:20pm CEST. For information on broadcast coverage of Sunday's meeting, check out the where to watch guide whose 2021 10,000m world record time was bettered on the same track two days later when Ethiopia’s

Beatrice Chebet has since taken the world record to 28:54.14 in Eugene in May.  the performance of Olympic 5000m and 10,000m champion Hassan will be closely monitored with the longer of her two races taking place on Saturday (6) on the eve of the main meeting now in its 43rd edition There is something fitting about Hassan competing in this event given that by earning medals in three different track events at the Tokyo Olympics – she also won 1500m bronze – she emulated the Dutch athlete after whom this weekend’s competition is named Blankers-Koen won four golds at the 1948 London Olympics Hassan’s performance this weekend will help shape her choices for Paris where there are possibilities for her in all three track events as well as the marathon I think of the fantastic audience and the atmosphere,” she said “Especially last year I felt the support of the entire stadium.  “I am really looking forward to coming back to the FBK Games in Hengelo It is special that I can run a competition in my own country in preparation for the Olympic Games and I hope that there will be just as many people to support me again.” who broke her own world indoor 400m record as she clocked 49.17 to win the world indoor title in Glasgow on 2 March will test herself over the 400m flat outdoors an event in which her great hurdles rival Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone heads this year’s world list with 48.75 who took 400m hurdles bronze behind McLaughlin-Levrone at the Tokyo Olympics and silver at the 2022 World Athletics Championships won the world title in the US athlete’s absence last year and has said she will run only this event Just over a week after McLaughlin-Levrone took 0.03 off her own world 400m hurdles record at the US Olympic trials Bol will be keen to fashion her own statement of intent.  “After the 200m during the national athletics championships the week before I can work on my speed with this 400m as preparation for the Olympic Games and dot the i's,” Bol said The field also includes her Dutch 4x400m teammates Cathelijn Peeters and Lisanne De Witte as well as Ireland’s Sharlene Mawdsley whose inspirational running helped Ireland to mixed 4x400m gold and women’s 4x400m silver at last month’s European Championships Sunday’s main programme features a host of other successful Olympians Britain’s Olympic and world silver medallist in the 800m Keely Hodgkinson – now looking at a Paris Games that will not feature the Olympic and world champion Athing Mu following her fall at the US trials – heads a field that also includes Uganda’s 2019 world champion Halimah Nakaayi and Renelle Lamote of France Having retained her European title in Rome last month despite suffering from a debilitating cold that left her participation in doubt until the last minute Hodgkinson will be hoping for a less stressful but equally successful outing the 2008 meeting record of 1:55.76 held by Kenya’s Pamela Jelimo may be in her sights Puerto Rico’s Olympic 100m hurdles champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn will feature in a stacked field that also includes 2019 world champion Nia Ali of the United States and the respective European silver and bronze medallists Ditaji Kambundji of Switzerland and Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska with home eyes on the athlete who has won two golds and a silver at the last three European Indoor Championships A mighty contest is in prospect in the men’s discus where Lithuania’s 21-year-old Mykolas Alekna who broke the longstanding world record with 74.35m in April will seek to get back to winning ways having had to settle for bronze in his defence of the European title last month one place behind Austria’s Lukas Weisshaidinger The women’s shot put sees USA’s 2022 and 2023 world champion Chase Jackson take on the Chinese athlete who earned the previous two world titles in 2017 and 2019 Also in a top-class mix will be Jackson’s compatriot Maggie Ewen Sweden’s Fanny Roos and home athlete Jessica Schilder Rising home talent Niels Laros will seek a national record in the men’s 1000m with the 19-year-old’s target being the 2:15.05 Marko Koers ran in 1997.  Kenya’s Commonwealth champion Ferdinand Omanyala second in this season’s top list with the 9.79 he recorded at high altitude in Nairobi faces a field that includes Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme Jamaica’s 2011 world champion Yohan Blake and Olympic 200m champion Andre De Grasse of Canada Home interest will centre on 22-year-old Raphael Bouju Vernon Norwood of the United States is fastest on paper with a season’s best of 44.47 in a men’s 400m that also contains home athlete Liemarvin Bonevacia who won European bronze last month at 35.  Greece’s London 2012 pole vault champion Katerina Stefanidi who created waves of emotion in winning European silver last month is top of the field with her season’s best of 4.73m with Canada’s 2018 Commonwealth champion Alysha Newman and Roberta Bruni of Italy her most likely challengers who set a European 1500m record of 3:51.95 in 2019 faces three runners who have clocked sub-4:00 times in that event in Britain’s Melissa Courtney-Bryant Uganda’s Winnie Nanyondo and fellow Dutch athlete Maureen Koster Three runners in the men’s 5000m have sub-13:00 personal bests the fastest being Ethiopia’s Telahun Haile Bekele Dutch European indoor champion Douwe Amels faces New Zealand’s world indoor champion Hamish Kerr and Ukraine’s European bronze medallist Oleh Doroshchuk Italy’s Andy Diaz Hernandez is favourite in the men’s triple jump Celera Barnes of the United States has the fastest 2024 time of the field in the women’s 100m but she will face pressure from Germany’s 2018 European champion Gina Luckenkemper and Britain’s European 4x100m gold medallist Amy Hunt Poor weather conditions were perhaps not conducive to fast times but Bol still raced to a meeting record of 50.02 to win on home soil She finished a second ahead of Chile’s Martina Weil who clocked a national record for second place The women’s 100m hurdles delivered the highlight of the meeting with Olympic champion Camacho-Quinn scorching to victory in a season's best 12.39 which was also a meeting record I just wanted to get out there and try to have a better start,” Camacho-Quinn said afterwards “I know where I went wrong in the race a little bit It's a season's best and this was not good weather.” “It was okay, it's always hard to run it from the front," reflected Hodgkinson. "I wanted a little bit more with the time, but I haven't properly gone after an 800m since Eugene (Diamond League) and that was such a different race so I'm happy to be back out here doing my best.” Hassan was in front for most of the race before finding herself boxed in at the final bend and faded badly on the home straight Britain’s Melissa Courtney-Bryant snatched victory in a time of 4:03.50 from Danielle Jones with Yolanda Ngarambe taking third Hassan had to be content with fifth place in a season’s best 4:04.83 the athlete from Burkina Faso winning in a season’s best and meeting record of 17.57m LIVE RESULTS HERE ©2006 - Present FloSports, Inc.

The 24-year-old law student and promising football player allegedly defrauded nearly 300 individuals in a high-profile case that left many investors financially devastated, as reported by Oost Nieuws The suspect is now facing charges of fraud and embezzlement with an estimated 1.5 to 4.5 million euros believed to have been lost in the scheme Police have informed the victims of the arrest “We suspect that there was intent behind the actions of the individual,” said police spokesperson Chantal Westerhoff The Hengelo resident’s arrest also included a search of his parents’ home where he was living prior to the scandal becoming public The affair began almost exactly one year ago when the suspect who had gained a reputation as a “crypto genius,” sent an email to nearly 300 clients through his brother The email revealed that all of the invested funds The trader had initially made significant profits attracting many investors who entrusted him with their money had been part of the HSC'21 team in Haaksbergen a group of about 100 victims formed the Stichting Onderzoeks Collectief Hengelo led by attorney Arjon Tieman from Damsté en Partners One of our board members texted that he received news from the police and later tonight we’ll hold an online meeting about it The trader reportedly went into hiding after his crypto business collapsed earlier this year as multiple victims allegedly sought revenge Authorities arranged for his temporary relocation to a secure location Just two days after Sifan Hassan clocked a world 10,000m record of 29:06.82 in Hengelo Ethiopia’s Letesenbet Gidey – competing on the same track in the Dutch city – improved the mark by five seconds with 29:01.03* to win the Ethiopian Trials on Tuesday (8) With few getting racing opportunities abroad the Ethiopian Olympic Trials offered not only a chance for Ethiopian athletes to make their case for being selected to represent their country domestic races are competitive but much slower than they would be run at sea level The competition programme featured all distances from 800m to 10,000m who last year set a world 5000m record of 14:06.62 passing through 2000m in 5:54 and 3000m in 8:50 She reached the half-way point in about 14:42 which put her slightly behind the world record pace that was being indicated by the blue Wavelight technology but she looked extremely comfortable and had just Ababel Yeshaneh for company it soon became apparent that Hassan’s mark would last only a few more minutes Yeshaneh dropped back in the second half before eventually withdrawing from the race went through the bell just a couple of seconds inside 28 minutes indicating she’d need a final lap of about 68 seconds to break Hassan’s mark Despite having to navigate around a field of lapped runners Gidey powered around the final circuit and stopped the clock at 29:01.03 Gidey revealed that she was confident in her plans to break the record even if it was a bold attempt at a trials event “I expected to run the world record,” she said Whether or not her chance to do so comes before or after her faceoff with Hassan at the Olympics remains to be seen The 23-year-old becomes the first woman to hold both the 5000m and 10,000m world records since Ingrid Kristiansen did so from 1986-1993 but Tsigie Gebreselama came through to take second place in 30:06.01 It was clear from the outset that athletes were keen to take advantage of the ideal racing conditions in Hengelo The evening began with a demonstration of the growing depth in Ethiopian steeplechase who won the African U18 steeplechase title in 2019 finished first in the men’s race in 8:09.37 who recently lowered her personal best to 9:02.52 at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Doha took home the win in the women’s race in 9:13.63 with Lomi Muleta right behind in 9:14.03 Sparks really began to fly in the women’s 800m when newcomer Werkwuha Getachew surprised the field winning in a world-leading national record of 1:56.67 She beat Ethiopia’s most successful 800m runner whose first name translates to ‘gold water’ but she seems to be taking advantage of growing momentum in women’s Ethiopian middle distance running despite feeling disappointed after her runner-up finish “We can find even more youth for the 800m,” she said indicating that Ethiopian athletes in the shorter distances are only now being properly trained And she is by no means discouraged: “I still want to do something really special in the 800m.” The women’s 5000m went out at an aggressive pace Gudaf Tsegay tried to run away with the race about half way through allowing Senbere Teferi and Ejgayehu Taye to re-establish contact and contend for the win re-emerged from her rough spot to outkick the others and finish in 14:13.32 Taye and Teferi ran 14:14.09 and 14:15.24 respectively moving up to sixth and seventh on the world all-time list The men’s 5000m went out well below 13-minute pace with many curious as to how steeplechase specialist Getnet Wale would fare as Wale tucked in the front pack which dwindled to Nibret Melak and frontrunner Milkesa Mengesha until the final lap who won the most recent Jan Meda Cross Country Championships but the 2019 Diamond League steeplechase winner overtook Melak for the win in 12:53.28 “I can run even faster,” said Wale “I’ve been wanting to run a fast and flat 5000m race for a long time I knew I had the speed and with better pace making we could have definitely run in the 12:40s.” Melak was rewarded with a big PB of 12:54.22 while Mengesha – the world U20 cross-country champion – clocked a PB of 12:58.28 for third Both 1500m races also saw impressive times winner at the recent Continental Tour Gold meeting in Ostrava set a huge PB and a world lead to win the event in a time of 3:57.33 World U20 800m champion Diribe Welteji set a national U20 record of 3:58.93 to finish second The winning time in the men’s 10,000m may not have threatened the record books World 5000m silver medallist Selemon Barega took control of the loaded field early on running uneven paces in an attempt to shake up the field U20 athlete Tadese Worku also shared the lead before fading along with the majority of the field throughout the tumultuous race As world 10,000m silver medallist Yomif Kejelcha and national 10,000m champion Berihu Aregawi creeped up on the long-time leader in the final stages it seemed as though Barega had played all his cards too soon a blisteringly fast last lap of about 51 seconds proved Barega still had room left in the tank and Aregawi battled the final 200 metres to finish in 26:49.51 The Ethiopian Olympic team is not yet finalised as this final competition fell along a series of meets in which potential competitors were given the opportunity to prove their fitness and racing ability But one thing was certainly clear: the Ethiopian Olympic team will be ready *Subject to the usual ratification procedure Amid the drizzle on a grey afternoon in the Netherlands Haile Gebrselassie’s megawatt smile lifted the gloom The 1994 edition of what was then known as the Adriaan Paulen Memorial Meeting in honour of the late Dutch Olympian who served as president of the International Amateur Athletic Federation Only the men’s 5000m remained and some bedraggled spectators chose to head for the exit in the predominantly open-air Fanny Blankers-Koen Stadion rather than wait to watch the young Ethiopian who had taken 10,000m gold and 5000m silver at the World Championships in Stuttgart the previous summer They were to miss a historic treat: the emergence of Gebrselassie as a world-record-breaking phenomenon dismal day 30 years ago – 4 June 1994 – the 1.65m (5ft 5in) East African put the unassuming Dutch town of Hengelo firmly on the global track and field map in the 2004 version of what had by then become the FBK Games – in memory of Blankers-Koen the Dutch sporting icon who won four Olympic golds in London in 1948 - Gebrselassie’s compatriot Kenenisa Bekele set his first world record the global mark for the 12.5 lap event was reduced in Hengelo from 12:56.96 to 12:37.55 by the two diminutive Ethiopian giants of the distance running game Gebrselassie further gilded the town’s reputation with a pair of world-record-breaking runs at 10,000m clocking 26:43.53 in 1995 and 26:22.75 in 1998 plus a two-mile world best of 8:01.08 in 1997 The locals took the affable Ethiopian to their hearts As the runners gathered on the start line for that 5000m in 1994 precious few folk in the FBK Stadion could have suspected that Gebrselassie was about to blaze a trail that would take him to a staggering tally of 27 global marks at distances ranging from two miles to the marathon Smiling and sharing a casual chat with fellow Ethiopian Wurku Bikila the 21-year-old looked for all the world like he was about to embark on an afternoon stroll Gebrselassie had his sights set on 12:58.39 the world record time set by the masterful Moroccan Said Aouita in Rome back in 1987 Haile Gebrselassie in Hengelo in 1994 (© AFP / Getty Images) “The only thing on my mind as I waited for the gun that afternoon was the splits I wanted to hit,” he told Jim Denison in The Greatest: The Haile Gebrselassie Story “I knew I could break Aouita’s record My training had been going so well.” “Jos was cautious,” Gebrselassie recalled believe me when I tell you I’m ready.” Hermens was in position at the 200m mark on the track ready to play a role that would become so familiar to the man from Nijmegen who in his own clock-chasing career broke the 20,000m world record twice the world hour record twice – becoming the first to run 13 miles in 60 minutes – and a world track best for 10 miles the bespectacled Hermens shouted out every 400m split as Gebrselassie running smoothly with his distinctively bouncy stride overtook the second of his pacemakers and hit 3000m in 7:50.9 – with Bikila fourth in the previous year’s world 5000m final Haile,” Hermens hollered from the infield “You need to keep running 61s.” Bikila started to drop dramatically as Gebrselassie gritted his teeth and dug in the world 10,000m champion finished 1.43 inside Aouita’s record Hengelo had its first world record – in a meeting which at that time bore the name of Paulen the first man to set a global mark at the Bislett Stadium in Oslo: 63.8 for 500m in 1924 By the time Kenenisa Bekele lined up for the 5000m at what was then the FBK Games 10 years later – on 31 May 2004 – Gebrselassie had lost the world record to Kenyans Moses Kiptanui and Daniel Komen but twice regained it taking it down to 12:39.36 in Helsinki in 1998 Like Gebrselassie in Hengelo 10 years prior Bekele was aged 21 and had won the world 10,000m title the year before He also had the first three of his five successive world cross-country long-and-short-course doubles behind him and Hermens had swapped his tracksuit for a suit and tie The Hengelo world record machine had become a notably slicker operation Kenenisa Bekele on his way to breaking the world 5000m record in Hengelo (© AFP / Getty Images) Bekele needed to run 17.6 seconds quicker than his compatriot on the same track a decade previously to replace him in the world record book he tracked the Kenyan pacemaker David Kiplak through 2000m in 5:05.47 and was 25 metres clear of the field as he passed 3000m in 7:37.34 – 12.5 seconds quicker than Gebrselassie’s 1994 split Tearing round the last few laps in sprinting mode Bekele crossed the line in 12:37.35 – 2.01 seconds inside Gebrselassie’s world record – with Tina Turner’s Simply The Best blaring over the public address system The former world record-holder happened to be watching having finished runner-up to Sileshie Sihine in the 10,000m I first set the 5000m record here and now Kenenisa has his turn,” said the magnanimous Gebrselassie “I am so pleased to see such a beautiful runner in Hengelo.” Bekele himself confessed: “I was very self-confident today I was convinced I would break the record.” Bekele broke Gebrselassie’s 10,000m world record A new Ethiopian king of distance running was ruling the global

released back into the forest similar but also dissimilar from foxes in the way they hunt their prey but are not known to be domestically inclined at all The interesting story emerged from the Netherlands of this stray wolf A veterinarian was on hand to examine the wolf after it was found lying in a barn in Hengelo for hours where it was sedated before eventually being set free again into a nearby forest where it was believed it emerged from Police received its first report in the early hours of Monday with their prompt action to cordon the entire property off with tape to nearby residents especially when they feel isolated and threatened making them not the most hospitable of animals to find in your garden It is still unclear to authorities as to why exactly the wolf lay on the floor of the barn for so many hours a wolf fell asleep in a garden in Doetinchem around 10 kilometres from the village of Hengelo and brought it back to a nearby clinic to be assessed thoroughly A wolf was also spotted back in April 2024 in Antwerp, in a story which was published by Euro Weekly News.

According to NOS their strategies range from sowing division through fake news to committing violent attacks Their ultimate goal is a white ethnostate that only allows white people to be citizens The three suspects appeared in court on Monday and were remanded into custody for another 30 days The teenager’s case is being handled under juvenile criminal law The Base was founded in 2018 by Rinaldo

Blankers-Koen famously won four gold medals – three individual one relay – at the 1948 London Olympics and while Hassan came up just shy of that at the Tokyo Games – winning two golds and one bronze – the 30-year-old distance star has etched her name alongside her predecessor as one of the all-time greats of Dutch sport.  Less than six weeks after taking victory at the London Marathon in her debut at the distance – an outing rife with the drama Hassan often brings to her races – she will be back on the line at 8:30pm local time on Saturday for the women’s 10,000m before contesting the 1500m just 20 hours later.  “After the London Marathon it was of course a question of how my body would recover and respond to the track training,” said Hassan “I would like to run a 10,000m to see how I am doing.” Hassan ran a 10,000m world record of 29:06.82 at this event in 2021 which was broken by Letesenbet Gidey of Ethiopia with 29:01.03 just two days later take on a strong cast of East African athletes including Ethiopia’s Tsigie Gebreselama a silver medallist at the World Cross Country Championships in Bathurst who ran her PB of 30:06.01 behind Hassan in Hengelo two years ago Next quickest on paper is Caroline Chepkoech Kipkirui a former Kenyan now running for Kazakhstan who ran her PB of 30:17.64 to finish seventh in last year’s World Championships.  Hassan’s speed will be put to the test on Sunday as she takes on a 1500m field that includes two sub-four-minute athletes: Uganda’s Winnie Nanyondo and Australia’s Linden Hall.  will draw huge support from the home crowd as she contests her first flat 400m of the outdoor season having broken the indoor world record with 49.26 at the Dutch national championships in February Belgium’s Cynthia Bolingo and USA’s Wadeline Jonathas are among her rivals.  Femke Bol wins the 400m hurdles in Hengelo (© Dan Vernon) The women’s 100m should prove a tight contest along with Trinidad and Tobago’s Michelle-Lee Ahye and Switzerland’s Ajla Del Ponte There will be a strong Dutch presence in the women’s 200m through Jamile Samuel and Lieke Klaver though they’ll have it all to do to beat USA’s Kayla White who ran 22.38 into a slight headwind in Botswana last month.  The women’s 100m hurdles sees USA’s 2019 world champion Nia Ali take on Bahamian Devynne Charlton with Ali the quicker this year with the 12.53 she ran in April Home hopes will be carried by Nadine Visser who will run her first hurdles race of the outdoor season Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji and Denmark’s Mette Graversgaard are also in the field.  Ukraine’s Yaroslava Mahuchikh is the star attraction in the women’s high jump She remains the only athlete to go over two metres in the event this outdoor season jumping 2.01m to take victory in Rabat last weekend Her compatriots Yuliia Levchenko and Iryna Gerashchenko could prove her toughest opponents.  The women’s shot put will see Maggie Ewen square off against fellow US thrower and reigning world champion Chase Ealey Ewen tops the world lists with the 20.45m she threw in Westwood while Ealey is close behind with the 20.06m she threw in Halle Jamaica’s Danniel Thomas-Dodd is next best this season with the national record of 19.77m she threw behind the US duo last week Portugal’s Auriol Dongmo and Dutch athlete Jessica Schilder are also in the field.  the undoubted star attraction is Mondo Duplantis who’s looking for his third win at the Fanny Blankers-Koen Stadium having bettered the meeting record with a 6.10m clearance in 2021 Duplantis soared to a world record of 6.22m indoors and he opened his outdoor season with victory last week at the Los Angeles Grand Prix Pole vault winner Mondo Duplantis in Hengelo (© Dan Vernon) perhaps the leading candidate for the runner-up spot – which is all that’s usually left if the Swede brings his usual brilliance.  The long jump will see USA’s JuVaughn Harrison take on compatriot William Williams with Harrison fresh off a 2.32m high jump victory at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Doha though he was well off his long jump best of 8.47m in his sole outing in that event this year (7.62m).  Many will be keeping a close eye on rising star Mattia Furlani of Italy to see if the 18-year-old can reproduce the heroics he delivered in Savona where he jumped 8.44m with a 2.2m/s tailwind Namibia’s Chenault Lionel Coetzee is also sure to feature The men’s javelin sees German trio Johannes Vetter Julian Weber and Andreas Hofmann go up against Trinidad and Tobago’s Keshorn Walcott Weber is the best of them this season via the 88.37m he threw in Rehlingen Belgium’s Timothy Herman should also feature based off the 87.35m PB he threw in Nairobi last month Finnish duo Oliver Helander and Lassi Etelatalo are also in the field.  all eyes will be on Grant Holloway in the 110m hurdles to see if the two-time world champion can dip under 13 seconds for the first time this year He tops the world lists with the 13.01 he ran in Atlanta last month Fellow US hurdler Devon Allen will be looking to take a chunk off his season’s best of 13.25 which he ran to finish fourth last weekend in Rabat while USA’s Freddie Crittenden should also go close given his season’s best of 13.19.  Grant Holloway at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial (© Zsigmond László) USA’s CJ Allen should prove tough to stop given his recent victory at the Los Angeles Grand Prix in a PB of 47.91 while the next quickest this season is Pablo Andres Ibanez Guevara of El Salvador (48.56) and Dutch athlete Nick Smidt (48.70) The men’s 100m sees USA’s Marvin Bracy-Williams arrive in fine form having clocked 9.93 (0.8m/s) earlier this week in Montreuil Britain’s Reece Prescod and Jamaica’s Yohan Blake are also in the field.  The men’s 400m sees USA’s Vernon Norwood head the entries based on season’s best with the 44.68 he ran in Nairobi in April Also in the line-up are Dutch sprinter Liemarvin Bonevacia along with Botswana’s Busang Collen Kebinatshipi and Isaac Makwala The men’s 1500m will see Germany’s Robert Farken line up against Britain’s Elliot Giles Ireland’s Andrew Coscoran and France’s Azeddine Habz in a field with no outstanding favourite HENGELO - During his final participation in the FBK Games Churandy Martina was awarded the distinction of ‘Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau.’ Martina renowned for his performances in the 200 meters is being honored for his contributions to Dutch sports The sprinter received the medal on the track in the presence of family members who had flown in from Curaçao.  The holder of the Dutch record in the 100 and 200 meters is likely to join the relay team for his sixth Olympic Games in Paris The athletics federation will soon make a decision on this matter Martina bid farewell to his fans and fellow athletes Haile Gebreselassie – last seen winning two golds at the World Indoor Championships in Japan makes his outdoor debut on Sunday May 30 at the Adriaan Paulen Memorial in Hengelo (the Netherlands) The Ethiopian will attempt to break the world record for 2 miles he set at the same venue two years ago On that occasion Gebrselassie had been offered a $1 million bonus to be the first man to clock less than 8 minutes – and missed by just 1.09 seconds Hengelo has a special place in the Ethiopian’s heart as he is based in the Netherlands during the summer season and has been managed by a Dutch former world record holder Jos Hermans throughout his career Gebrselassie set his first world record in Hengelo in 1994 – 5000m in 12:56.96 and has tried for another every year since which guarantees a full house at the Fanny Blankers Koen stadium In 1995 he improved the 10,000m best to 26:43.53 In 1997 he successfully attacked the two miles and last year he set a phenomenal 10,000m mark of 26:22.75 Romania’s European Champion Ionela Tirlea so impressive in Maebashi where she won the 200m and in her races outdoors this season takes on the 1995 World Champion Kim Batten Kenya’s marathon ace Tegla Loroupe will test her track credentials against the likes of Anita Weyerman the Swiss athlete who won bronze at 1500m in Athens 97 and Britain’s Paula Radcliffe who won the European Challenge at 10,000m in Barakaldo last month The men’s 800m features two talented South Africans: the Olympic silver medalist Hezekiel Sepeng and the rising star

leave while her compatriot Tanja Damaske is the favourite in the women’s javelin overtaking Chris Nilsen for the world lead Various other Olympic champions were also in action at the Continental Tour Gold event Picture by USA TODAY SportsBy ZK GohMondo Duplantis looks in unstoppable form already On Monday (6 June) in Hengelo, Netherlands, the world record holder overcame wet, cold, and rainy conditions at the FBK Games Continental Tour Gold meet to set a new 2022 world lead of 6.01 metres to overtake Christopher Nilsen, the Olympic silver medalist, as the world leader. Duplantis was never really tested by his rivals, and despite the dreary weather conditions looked in good nick, not once failing in any of his four attempts at 5.50, 5.70, 5.80, then 6.01 metres. Indeed, the Swede was the only man to even clear 5.80, as home vaulter Rutger Koppelaar and Belgium's Ben Broeders both missed out at that height. ExclusiveArmand Duplantis: Tokyo2020 Medal MomentsPole vault sensation Armand Duplantis won Olympic gold in amazing fashion at Tokyo 2020 Sweden's Duplantis cleared 6.02 metres at the first attempt a vault that saw him go over the bar by an incredible distance The 21-year-old was the only athlete over 6 metres with Christopher Nilsen of the USA taking silver and Brazil’s Thiago Braz taking bronze Duplantis was one of a number of stars on show in Hengelo Yohan Blake of Jamaica won the men's 100m in 10.11 seconds while Great Britain's Daryll Neita took the women's race in 11.19 into a headwind Kenya's Faith Kipyegon scored her season's best time in the women's 800m by winning in 2:00.36 Grenada's Anderson Peters – who has already cleared a mammoth 93m this season – went beyond the 90m mark again with a 90.75m to break the 36-year-old meeting record Olympic champ Peruth Chemutai of Uganda won the women's 3000m steeplechase in 9:14.00 flat clinched victory in the women's long jump with a 6.65m effort Champions League: ‘Calamity keeper’ or ‘human wall’ – which Donnarumma will Arsenal face Bye Bye Anfield: Alexander-Arnold leaves as modern Liverpool great – but fans will feel hurt Wenger says Europa winners should not get Champions League slot Group starts initiative to support legendary Musa Otieno’s Presidential honour Ivory Coast name Fae as permanent head coach after AFCON miracle Song and dance in Abidjan as Ivory Coast go on an AFCON Trophy parade Haller scores winner as Ivory Coast beat Nigeria to clinch AFCON title AFCON 2023: Grand finale awaits as Nigeria Ronwen Williams main man again as Bafana clinch AFCON bronze Groundbreaking but controversial – new IOC president Coventry ‘I’m not going anywhere’ – Khelif on legal action Coe and six rivals pitch to be new IOC president UK Sport invests record £330m for 2028 LA Games Horse abuse sanctions strengthened after scandals Olympic Medallist Kerley Says Arrest Was Down To ‘Misunderstanding’ Tough Outing For Omanyala In Shanghai Diamond League As Simbine Flies High   Shame As Olympic 100m Medallist Kerley Arrested In Miami new PB top Wanyonyi’s wishlist for 2025 season Kipruto fueled by Tokyo Marathon defeat in hunt for new success Liverpool announce Premier League victory parade Liverpool crowned Premier League champions with thumping win over Tottenham Man City wipe pain of losing league title with FA Cup final qualification NBA Play-Off: Knicks comeback stuns Celtics in semi-final opener NBA Play-off: Curry helps Warriors claim decider against Rockets New Court Supports NBA Africa’s Commitment to Build 1,000 Basketball Courts on the Continent Over the Next Decade Petro de Luanda Kriol Star Advance to 2025 BAL Playoffs in South Africa Petro de Luanda win third games to top Sahara Conference Jul 4 – African 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala will head to the FBK Games in Hengelo a World Athletics Continental Gold Tour meet in the Netherlands on Sunday for his final competition before switching energy and focus to the Olympic Games in Paris Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp Omanyala has told Capital Sport that this sojourn in the Netherlands will be crucial in chiselling out his final program for Paris where he hopes to knock on the door of history by doing better than Tokyo 2020 when he reached the semis “Hengelo for us will be like a time trial so I will go there and push hard so that I know where we are before we head to the pre-Olympic camp in Miramas It will be like a designer for our program heading to the Olympics,” Omanyala said He added; “It will help us to know where we are our strengths and weaknesses and this will be very important for our preparation for the Olympic Games.” Hengelo will be Omanyala’s sixth race of the season and the 26-year old says the fact that he has limited himself to fewer races this campaign means that he has more in the gas His coach Geoffrey Kimani believes that he is at a better space currently and they have done much of the work already this season going into Hengelo will be like a map towards Paris “Hengelo will give us a clear indication of where we are and that informs the training program going into Miramas We have done much up to now and that makes the work easier going into the final round of preparation Omanyala currently has the second fastest time this year having run a hitherto world lead of 9.79 at the Team Kenya Olympic Trials at the Nyayo National Stadium three weeks ago Jamaican Kishane Thompson currently has the world leading time of 9.77 clocked at the Jamaican Olympic trials in Kingston last Friday “Running 9.79 was a shock to me because we didn’t expect that too early But it also means that I have a lot of speed in the tank I didn’t want to run that fast in Kenya; I wanted to do it outside But it is number two in the world now and we take it,” Omanyala says He adds; “It gives me more confidence moving forward because it is the fastest I have run since 2021 and it means we are on course.” Omanyala’s biggest ambition remains winning an Olympic medal and he says he feels his body is peaking at the right time and will be in line to battle for a podium finish in the streets of Paris Oct 27 – DStv and GOtv subscribers are in for a treat of the world’s best football this week as the 2020-21..

sell-out for the first time since the glory days of Haile Gebrselassie” for the Fanny Blankers-Koen Games a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event A full house on the return of spectators to the traditional cradle of Dutch track and field would be fitting in every respect the stadium and the meeting named in honour of the greatest athlete of all time from the Netherlands the wonder woman who bagged four gold medals at the 1948 Olympic Games in London will be graced by several of the rising Dutch stars who contributed to a national record haul of eight Olympic medals in Tokyo last year – not least Femke Bol who makes her 2022 debut over 400m hurdles just six days after smashing the 300m hurdles world best in Ostrava Then there is the likelihood of this tranquil town in the east of the Netherlands being turned into a small corner of East Africa once again as Gebrselassie’s compatriots chase selection for the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 – and threaten to rewrite the world record book too which doubles as the Ethiopian trial for Oregon features three of the top six women on the world all-time list raising the prospect of the kind of fireworks Gebrselassie produced when he earned the moniker ‘Mr Hengelo’ with his world record feats at the FBK Games over 5000m in 1994 Kenenisa Bekele also broke the 5000m world record at the 2004 meeting and on 8 June last year Letesenbet Gidey set the current women’s 10,000m world record of 29:01.03 in the Ethiopian Olympic trial race on the Hengelo track two days after the Ethiopian-born Dutch-naturalised Sifan Hassan had set the all-time global mark at 29:06.82 in front of empty stands in the 2021 FBK Games.  In the aftermath Gidey spoke of “trying to run maybe 28:56” and the Olympic 10,000m bronze and 2019 world silver medallist might have to emulate Emil Zatopek to prevail In June 1954 the great Czech soldier took the men’s world record through the 29-minute barrier with a 28:54.2 clocking in Brussels Letesenbet Gidey sets a world 10,000m record in Hengelo (© Global Sports Communication) Gidey has raced just once since her sensational 62:52 half marathon world record run in Valencia last October A touted attack on her 5000m world record at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Eugene on 28 May fell short when the 24-year-old tailed off in the last 1000m finishing a distant runner up (14:24.59) to fellow-Ethiopian Ejgayehu Taye world indoor bronze medallist over 3000m in Belgrade in March A near-novice at the distance is Gudaf Tsegay The world 1500m and Olympic 5000m bronze medallist who clocked 3:54.21 as runner up to flying Kenyan Faith Kipyegon over 1500m in Eugene recorded 29:39.42 on her debut at the distance in Maia in May last year – the sixth fastest of all time The field also

31-year-old Scot broke Paula Radcliffe’s 19-year-old European 10km road record with 30:19 in Manchester on 23 May and will doubtless be looking to take her track PB (30:58.94) closer to Radcliffe’s 20-year-old European record of 30:01.09 who struck gold over 5000m and 10,000m in Tokyo last year will be a notable absentee from the home contingent competing in this 41st edition of the FBK Games but Bol will be firmly in the spotlight following her sensational season opener in Ostrava If the Olympic 400m hurdles bronze medallist can clock 36.86 over three-quarters of the distance first-time out obliterating Zuzana Hejnova’s nine-year-old global mark by 1.30 then what might she do over a full lap backed by a raucous home crowd?  The European record figures Bol set in Tokyo There will be no Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Muhammad blasting ahead at world record pace this time but the 22-year-old world indoor flat 400m silver medallist will be fuelled by the roars of the home crowd and the adrenaline of her gold-topped performance in the Golden Spike meeting “The time in Ostrava was a crazy surprise,” Bol said “I hit two of the hurdles a bit on the way and had to say to myself “The first race of the season over 400m hurdles is always exciting There are 10 hurdles and in training I never train beyond seven.” There were seven over the 300m distance in Ostrava and Bol did not clear them all in text-book fashion she will face 2015 world silver medallist Shamier Little of the USA and Ukraine’s Anna Ryzhykova The meeting features four Olympic champions across the sixteen events: Mondo Duplantis in the pole vault Milaika Mihambo in the long jump and Peruth Chemutai in the 3000m steeplechase there are three other reigning world champions: Anderson Peters (javelin) Nia Ali (100m hurdles) and Hamila Nakaayi (800m) Duplantis also happens to be a world record-holder The organisers have taken out insurance of 25,000 Euros in case the 22-year-old Swede improves on the 6.20m he vaulted at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade in March I’ll do everything I can,” Duplantis said when asked about the possibility of a global mark at the track where he nailed the highest outdoor vault of 2021: 6.10m “I know from last year that Hengelo has everything you need to jump high “I only have three meetings before the World Championships – Hengelo then the Diamond Leagues in Oslo and Stockholm – so I’m going to try and hit it as hard as I can.” Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis (© AFP / Getty Images) will be among those hoping to push the young Superman of the vault who cleared 5.91m to win on his outdoor debut in Eugene the only Duplantis dip below 6.00m thus far in 2022 The young Swede arrives in Hengelo on a roll of 10 victories outdoors and in Peters is unbeaten in five javelin competitions out of five in 2022 The Grenadian returned to the scene of his 2019 World Championships success to nail a 93.07m area record in the opening Wanda Diamond League fixture of the year in Doha on 13 May and backed that up with an impressive 87.88m in Ostrava Germany’s 2017 world champion Johannes Vetter has withdrawn from the field but Trinidad and Tobago’s 2012 Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott and European silver medallist Andreas Hoffman are both in the line-up Hoffman’s German teammate Mihambo leads the long jump world list with the 7.09m that took her victory in the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Birmingham on 21 May Olympic and European champion has a PB of 7.30m and the only other 7.00m-plus jumper in the field is Australia’s Oceania record-holder Brooke Buschkuehl (7.05m) her only previous competition in the Netherlands having been the 2016 European Championships in Amsterdam where she took bronze behind Ivana Spanovic “That was

With the outdoor season as his main focus in 2022, Tamberi will compete at the Wanda Diamond League meetings in Doha and Birmingham before heading to Ostrava – all key stepping stones towards the World Athletics Championships Oregon22. In Ostrava Tamberi will face Commonwealth champion and Oceanian record-holder Brandon Starc, Olympic finalist Tom Gayle of Great Britain, Czech champion Marek Bahnik and European U23 champion Jan Stefla, also of the Czech Republic. Organisers of the meeting are hopeful that, after two years of pandemic measures, spectators will return in full to the City Stadium. Organisers of the Fanny Blankers Koen Games have announced that Olympic bronze medallist Femke Bol will contest her first 400m hurdles race of the season at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting in Hengelo on 6 June. Last year Bol set a European 400m hurdles record of 52.03 when finishing third at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, making her the third-fastest woman in history in the discipline. More recently she took 400m silver at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade. “I am over the moon to finally race in the Netherlands in front of a full stadium,” said Bol. “Because of all the Covid regulations in recent years, I’ve not yet had this opportunity. As a child I always went to the FBK Games as a fan and now I get to race in front of the amazing fans. I am already looking forward to 6 June and hope to run a beautiful but mainly fast race in lead-up to the World and European Championships.” In other Continental Tour Gold news, organisers of the Seiko Golden Grand Prix Tokyo have confirmed the participation of Japan’s leading jumpers for the competition on 8 May. Olympic finalist and 2018 world U20 champion Yuki Hashioka will take on Shoutarou Shiroyama, who holds the national record at 8.40m, in the men’s long jump. Elsewhere, Naoto Tobe will face Tomohiro Shinno and Yuto Seko in the men’s high jump, while Sumire Hata will compete in the women’s long jump. Japanese record-holders Izumiya, Terada and A...

Back in the stadium where she set her European 10,000m record of 29:36.67 last October Sifan Hassan continued to make history by smashing the world record with a time of 29:06.82* in Hengelo on Sunday (6) Racing at the FBK Games – a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting – and with the world record always in her sights the double world champion took more than 10 seconds off the 29:17.45 global mark for the 25-lap event which had been set by Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio the Dutch star began behind pacemakers Diane van Es and Jackline Rotich with Van Es taking the leaders through 1000m in 2:56.12 but soon after Hassan was clearly wanting to push the pace With 19 laps to go she had passed the pacemaker and was following the Wavelight technology She went through halfway in 14:38.75 and continued to get quicker running a 2:45 final kilometre and lapping the entire field which included seven other athletes who would go on to achieve the Olympic qualifying time of 31:25.00 Crossing the finish line with 29:06.82 on the clock Hassan raised her hands to the air and then sank to the track in delight to run this world record here today in Hengelo is something I could only dream of,” she said “It's the perfect confirmation of the hard work we've put in getting ready for Tokyo I am so happy to share this record in front of my Dutch fans Hassan adds this latest mark to her world records in the mile she also holds European records in the 1500m More than a minute and a half behind her were Kenya’s Irine Jepchumba Kimais and Daisy Cherotich with Kimais narrowly claiming the runner-up spot – 30:37.24 to 30:37.31 Their compatriot Joyce Chepkemoi Tele was fourth in 30:59.01 The women’s 10,000m had been the first track event on the main programme and it ensured that celebrations for the 40th FBK Games started in superb style Innovations at the event – which welcomed 1500 fans to the Fanny Blankers-Koen Stadion – included a live ‘second screen’ broadcast and a virtual audience connected by Zoom and fans were treated to even more record-breaking performances as the meeting went on World pole vault record-holder Mondo Duplantis had been looking to return to winning ways after a rare loss at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Gateshead but he didn’t stop at just securing victory eventually clearing a world-leading height of 6.10m and attempting a world record of 6.19m Although the world record was not to be this time the 21-year-old’s third-time clearance of 6.10m – a height only he and Sergey Bubka have ever achieved outdoors – was hugely impressive It also added 19 centimetres to the two-year-old meeting record which had been set by two-time world champion Sam Kendricks who handed Duplantis that defeat in Gateshead “Since Sam wasn’t going to be here and I was just coming off a loss to him to take his meeting record away from him,” Duplantis said with a smile “I haven’t checked my phone yet but I’d imagine I’ll have a text from him.” he added: “I felt really motivated coming to this meet I haven’t felt like that in a pretty long time – that I really had something to prove Today I wanted to show everybody that I can still jump really high.” Sweden’s Duplantis had opened his competition by easing over 5.50m first time and he also achieved 5.74m and 5.86m on his initial attempts The competition was won at that point but the world silver medallist also managed a world-leading 5.92m on his first try and then soared over six metres on his second attempt Asian champion Ernest Obiena and Dutch record-holder Menno Vloon finished second and third respectively with both athletes having cleared a best of 5.80m World leader Jasmine Camacho-Quinn now has three of the four fastest 100m hurdles times in the world so far this season as she followed her world lead of 12.32 set in Florida in April with a dominant 12.44 meeting record in Hengelo she powered away in the second half of the race to finish clear ahead of Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska The time was a pleasant surprise for Puerto Rico's Camacho-Quinn who hadn’t expected to run so fast having felt tired after arriving in Hengelo the day before “I just wanted to get a good race in,” said the two-time NCAA champion who moved to equal seventh on the world all-time list with her run in Gainesville earlier this year The women’s 100m delivered another dominant performance with Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith achieving her first sub-11.00 time of the season after a similarly strong run two weeks earlier in a very wet and windy Gateshead Conditions were more favourable this time and the world 200m champion clocked 10.92 (0.8m/s) to win ahead of Nigeria’s world and Olympic medallist Blessing Okagbare (11.02) and improve the meeting record of 10.94 which had been set by two-time world 200m gold medallist Dafne Schippers in 2015 “It was nice to run without a gale-force wind!” said Asher-Smith “I’m happy to have put together a good race and won today but it will come when it wants to come.” Home favourite Schippers was also racing and clocked 11.15 in fourth after winning an earlier race in 11.22 Britain’s Daryll Neita ran a PB of 11.04 in third The meeting record also fell in the women’s 400m hurdles with Femke Bol securing victory on home soil The 21-year-old European indoor 400m champion ran 54.33 in what was her first 400m hurdles race of the season holding off Ukraine’s European silver medallist Anna Ryzhykova (54.59) Jamaica’s Olympic champion Omar McLeod came close to Grant Holloway’s world 110m hurdles lead of 13.07 clocking 13.08 (1.7m/s) to win ahead of the USA’s Devon Allen (13.32) while the men’s 400m hurdles was won by Qatar’s world bronze medallist Abderrahman Samba in 48.56 A well-judged race by Britain’s Jake Wightman led to an impressive 1500m victory as the European and Commonwealth bronze medallist kicked off the final bend and looked strong down the home straight to win by almost a second His time was 3:34.67 ahead of Kenya’s Abel Kipsang with 3:35.63 There was also a British winner in the women’s 800m as Jemma Reekie front-ran her way to lead a GB top three clocking 2:00.77 ahead of her training partner Laura Muir with 2:00.95 and Ellie Baker with 2:01.02 Uganda’s world champion Halimah Nakaayi was sixth in 2:02.52 in her first race since last August The men’s 800m was won by Poland’s European indoor silver medallist Mateusz Borkowski in 1:47.02 from France’s Benjamin Robert (1:47.15) and Britain’s Elliot Giles who ran 1:47.22 in his first 800m race since his 1:43.63 indoors in Torun Back racing his specialist distance after recent 9.91 and 9.96 100m runs the USA’s Fred Kerley won the men’s 400m in 44.74 ahead of Dutch duo Jochem Dobber (45.51) and Liemarvin Bonevacia (45.77) Victory in the women’s race was claimed by Belgium’s Cynthia Bolingo in 51.16 ahead of Britain’s Laviai Nielsen (51.44) and the Netherlands’ Lieke Klaver (51.46) Botswana’s Isaac Makwala ran 20.37 (0.6m/s) to win the 200m ahead of Italy’s Eseosa Desalu (20.63).  Cuba’s world discus champion Yaime Perez continued her unbeaten record this year with a 65.91m throw which secured her the win by 11 centimetres ahead of Croatia’s two-time Olympic champion Sandra Perkovic Portugal’s Liliana Ca was third with a throw of 65.07m A close men’s long jump contest was won by France’s Augustin Bey as he leapt a PB of 8.16m with South Africa’s Ruswahl Samaai second thanks to a leap of 8.10m Australia’s Chris Mitrevski was third (8.04m) and Italy’s Filippo Randazzo fourth (8.01m) European indoor champion Maksim Nedasekau of Belarus won the high jump thanks to a 2.24m clearance NX Filtration has signed a purchase option for a 24 000 sq m plot of land at the High Tech

Championships in Apeldoorn last month to break the almost 41-year-old world indoor record of 49.59 The mark is faster than Bol's outdoor PB of 49.44 that she set to win the European title in Munich last year part of a gold medal treble that also included titles in the 400m hurdles and 4x400m and is a time that only 20 other athletes have ever beaten outdoors She went on to achieve a second consecutive golden double at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul winning the 400m in 49.85 and then anchoring the Netherlands team to 4x400m success in 3:25.66 “I am very excited to be at the FBK Games again this year,” said 400m hurdles specialist Bol who won world silver over the barriers in Oregon last year and claimed Olympic bronze in Tokyo just like my first time running in the main programme “I can't wait to run again in a full stadium in the Netherlands with the help of my (Dutch) fans.” World 400m fourth-place finisher Klaver claimed European indoor 400m silver behind Bol

Kerley and local heroes fire up a revived Mel... April 23rd marked a major milestone in the F126 project in Hengelo in the Netherlands. The German Navy, the BAAINBw, Thales and other F126 project partners, such as Damen Naval, prime contractor for the F126 project, inaugurated the “extended Thales Testing Centre”, a system testing and integration facility dedicated to the project. Here, project partners and the BAAINBw will work together with the German Navy on this extraordinary project. Last year, Thales has already doubled its local production capabilities in the Netherlands by expanding its own testing and integration facilities. Through to this experience of successfully ramping-up activities, the Group was able to deliver the German Navy and BAAINBw the ‘Extended Thales Testing Centre’ dedicated to the F126 project on time. As part of the project, the extended Thales Testing Centre will function as a collaboration hub for various project partners, to whom the facility offers a physical environment to collaborate, innovate and co-create solutions that address the customer’s needs. Additionally, the system testing and integration will take place in this facility. The building is equipped with multiple testing positions for the ships’ sensors and other hardware. Furthermore, the integration of the mission system into Combat Management System TACTICOS will be validated here. “By inaugurating the extended Thales Testing Centre today, we reach a great milestone in the F126 project. Together, we have created a collaborative environment that will enable our colleagues, partners and customer to work together on the innovative solutions for the F126 frigates.” said Dirk Jan de Bruijn, VP Above Water Systems Thales. By Evelyn Watta 10 October 2020 17:41 GMT+03 min readThere was no world record at the FBK After Summer Competition in Hengelo, Netherlands, on Saturday (10 October) as overcast, cold and rainy weather prevented Faith Kipyegon and Sifan Hassan from achieving their targeted fast times Double world champion Hassan broke the 10,000m European record as she crossed the line in 29:36.67 - the fourth fastest run in history - beating Paula Radcliffe's continental record of 30:01.09 set in Munich in 2002 "I am so happy to have run a new European record especially a record that has stood for so long by such a strong athlete as Paula "It was a very difficult race today as it was so cold and wet I was feeling really strong today and wished for a bit better conditions but this record gives me a lot of confidence." The Dutch runner was well inside world record pace at halfway She had 'Wavelight' technology to help her with pacemaking but deteriorating conditions saw her fall behind her goal That means Almaz Ayana's mark of 29:17.45 set in the final at Rio 2016 remains intact. Ayana crushes Women's 10,000m world recordA damp track did not deter Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana from crushing the 23-year-old women's 10,000m world record by 14 seconds Hassan finished a long way clear of Ethiopia's Tsehay Gemechu who took second in 30:57.73 Hassan who also holds the one-mile and 5km road world record covered 18.930km beating the previous world record of 18.517km She now heads to Poland where she will make her debut at the World Half Marathon Championships in Gdynia on 17 October Reigning Olympic 1500m champion Kipyegon was denied in her attempt at Svetlana Masterkova’s 24-year-old 1000m world record of 2:28.98 clocking 2:32.82 in her third try this season She was just 0.17s shy of the Russian's mark at the Monaco Diamond League on 14 August and also broke 2:30 in Brussels last month The 1000m record is one of the two long-standing female middle-distance world records with Jarmila Kratochvilova’s 800m mark of 1:53.28 standing since 1983 Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon wins gold for Kenya in the women's 1500m final in Rio 2016 The men's 5000m was billed as a clash between 2019 world silver medallist Yomif Kejelcha and Australia's Stewart McSweyn clocking 13:12.84 with McSweyn just over three seconds behind the world record for the women's 10,000m stood at 30:13.74 courtesy of Ingrid Kristiansen The sport was stunned in the summer of '93 when Wang Junxia of China took a huge chunk off the mark with 29:31.78 and then Almaz Ayana of Ethiopia sliced a further 14 seconds off the record with 29:17.45 On Sunday (June 6) at the latest World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting in Hengelo Hassan ran 29:06.82 to take almost 11 seconds from Ayana’s mark Cruising through each kilometre in about 2:55-56 – passing halfway in 14:38 – and knocking out the final 1000m in 2:45 the 28-year-old Dutch runner added to the world mile record that she already holds she has set world records in the one-hour run and 5km too After winning the world 1500m and 10,000m titles in Doha in 2019 she will now go into the Olympics as strong favourite to win whichever events she chooses to compete in to run this world record here today in Hengelo is something I could only dream of," said Hassan who lapped the entire field despite her closest pursuers beating the Olympic qualifying standard "It's the perfect confirmation of the hard work we've put in getting ready for Tokyo I am so happy to share this record in front of my Dutch fans!” These 40th FBK Games are named in honour of Fanny Blankers-Koen The Dutch athlete was one of the stars of the 1948 Olympics but at those Games the longest running race for women was a mere 200m The 10,000m was introduced into the Olympic programme for women in 1988 and Hassan is around three minutes quicker than the early female pioneers of the event in the late 1970s and early 1980s Mondo Duplantis was also in terrific form and won the pole vault with 6.10m – the second highest mark he has ever achieved outdoors – before attempting a world record height of 6.19m “I felt really motivated coming to this meet I haven’t felt like that in a pretty long time – that I really had something to prove," said Duplantis "Today I wanted to show everybody that I can still jump really high.” British athletes also had a successful meeting led by Dina Asher-Smith Asher-Smith clocked 10.92 (0.8) to beat Blessing Okagbare of Nigeria by one tenth of a second with GB team-mate Daryll Neita third in 11.04 and that moved her to second in the all-time UK rankings “It was nice to run without a gale-force wind!” said Asher-Smith referring to her opening race of the season on May 23 in Gateshead where the weather was a lot wetter and windier “I’m happy to have put together a good race and won today Reekie led a GB

Rijkswaterstaat is investigating how it was possible that so much water remained on the A1 and A35 motorways in Enschede and Hengelo on Sunday night but I cannot yet say anything about the exact cause of the amount of water on the highways." Twente was struck by heavy rainfall on Sunday night The motorways were closed off in both directions because there was a lot of water on the road A still unknown number of road users were stranded because of this The spokesperson said people were climbing on their cars to avoid the highly rising water A flooded adjacent road may have caused the nuisance but Rijkswaterstaat is now investigating whether that was the only reason Contractors have drained the water since the incident The roads were accessible for traffic again on Monday morning Only the entrance and exit of the provincial road N735 at De Lutte and parking garages were also flooded in Enschede Although most of the water troubles in Twente are over so we are still receiving some calls," said a spokesperson "We are increasingly confronted with extreme weather But we have not seen this much water at many times," the spokesperson said The fire brigade has mainly been focused on removing the acute danger and the spokesperson said that "cleaning up and emptying cellars is up to the people themselves." The weather also caused damage to the train tracks with a subsidence A spokesperson for ProRail said on Monday that the damage is "quite big" and that an engineering firm and a contractor are currently investigating how and when it can be repaired there have been fewer trains between Sittard and Maastricht for the last day Images show that a hole has appeared in the subsurface between the rails and the fences next to the track near Lutterade in Geleen Express buses have been set up to replace the problems on the track The ProRail spokeswoman said the tracks must be "out of service" when the repair work starts no train traffic will be possible between Sittard and Maastricht ProRail tries to plan such work at night where possible Where many companies have closed their R&D playgrounds Thales’ own Natlab is very much alive and kicking Johan de Heer is leading the applied research into brain-computer interfaces Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have a very sci-fi ring to them Images pop up of people controlling systems with their minds A BCI can also be used for more down-to-earth applications This is what Johan de Heer and his team are looking into at Thales Research & Technology (TRT) in Hengelo “We’re measuring people’s brain activity while they’re working signaling they need to take a break or someone else needs to take over.” “The company as a whole comprises 6 global business units delivering solutions varying from scientific exploration technologies in space to addressing cybersecurity attacks from the deep dark web Each of these GBUs consists of business lines Orthogonal to this structure is a corporate research organization which is the one I’m heading,” explains De Heer “We run all kinds of advanced research projects relatively independently but always focused on producing results to benefit our GBUs Like Philips once had its famous Natuurkundig Laboratorium – you could say we’re the Natlab of Thales.” “Although a relatively small research topic within Thales BCIs are on the radar of our top executives,” notes De Heer gave a speech to one hundred of our top managers He presented six technology areas that he thinks are highly relevant to the company and brain-computer interfaces was one of them I’m organizing a BCI hackathon with students from the University of Twente and our group CTO has agreed to come over on a Sunday on his way from his home in Germany to our HQ in Paris “They’d just decided to set up new expertise areas I immediately proposed to do something radically different from what they’d been doing for the past five years I called it cognitive engineering,” recalls De Heer “They liked the idea and made me the head of this new expertise group we started looking into how humans and systems can be better aligned so that they reinforce each other’s capabilities One of the applications we built was a proof-of-principle of a security camera system that could autonomously zoom in on regions of interest for closer human inspection.” two years before the Telematics Institute was to become the now-defunct Novay a new business opportunity presented itself – although not the one De Heer had set out for “My plan was to start my own company in cognitive engineering and I approached an old acquaintance at Thales to land them as a launching customer The ten minutes he gave me turned into five hours of discussion he asked me to take over his director position at TRT in Enschede TRT was involved in a collaboration with the University of Twente they were focusing on virtual reality in a wide range of settings we professionalized the organization and shifted our focus to serious gaming The partnership existed for another ten years: in the first five we looked at gaming technology to accelerate collaborative decision-making processes in the second five at using it for educational purposes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thales providing game-based learning solutions.” The new program was kicked off by a feasibility study and collaborations with bio-sensing hardware and software suppliers We started thinking about what setups would best fit our purpose and context One cleverly positioned sensor is clearly much more user friendly than a headset with 256 wires coming out of it How do we translate them into an assessment And then there are the privacy aspects of gathering personal data and the ethical aspects of interfacing with the brain.” The team’s current efforts focus on applying BCIs in human-machine teaming “Capturing brain signals to accurately interpret someone’s mental state visualizing that and providing neurofeedback to reduce the stress levels – that’s basically what we’re doing we’re putting people in a crisis management situation with these devices on their heads we’re measuring their mental workload in real time indicating that an intervention is required These are the kind of applications we’re looking at now.” “It’s also possible to feed an electrical signal back into the brain Studies show that this can improve cognition The US Navy is already looking into such a bidirectional BCI deep brain stimulation has become an accepted treatment for tremors it does contribute to the technology’s appeal I would like to stress that every experiment we run has been extensively vetted by ethical committees.” “Exploring cutting-edge technologies like brain-computer interfaces without the pressure to deliver immediate business impact – there aren’t many companies where you can do this kind of applied research anymore,” concludes De Heer there are limits to what we can do and yes but Thales still offers the freedom to look many years into the future of technology.” Want to learn more about what it feels like to work at Thales?

defines the brand-mix aside from the ageless appeal you described earlier accessories and gifts – some of our key brands are Paige Denim Olivia Burton watches and Ortigia lifestyle products.  The brands are all contemporary and easy to wear for working women with families and busy lives Photo: Hengelo Hengelo from outside Will you add any new names to the assortment for SS18 We’ll be expanding our resortwear collections for SS18 as this is an area that we see increasing demand for and this is an area we are looking to develop in 2018 we’re always on the lookout for new accessories brands What are the criteria when considering new brands and designers whilst the brand must appeal to a wide range of women and be within the right price point for our customer We don’t take fashion too seriously so we look for brands that are fun and easy to wear Which types of pieces have sold well so far this season Velvet has done extremely well this season and anything animal-printed We sell lots of denim and we have really seen this category develop in recent years fraying and embroidery have contributed to the widening appeal of jeans – they’re so much more than a wardrobe staple these days We’ve done extremely well this year with Donna Ida’s denim collection which we’ll expand in-store next year How do you source new labels – trade shows and we sometimes discover brands online via social media and we like to constantly change and add brands so that our customer never gets bored Who’s the customer and how do they typically shop Most of our customers are women between their late 30s to late 70s They all want quality clothing that is contemporary and well designed – something that’s easy to wear from day to night And no matter what our customer’s shape might be How do you stay in touch with your consumers We contact our customers regularly with updates online and in-store and we regularly hold brand events in the boutique We’re very active on social media – it’s a great way to give our brand more of a character and widen the exposure It’s not just about the products but who we are and what we represent Tell us a little about the store interior – who designed it so the design was not entirely ours – we bought the shop and all the stock within it and over the years we’ve made changes transforming it into a high-quality boutique We’re located in a country town and the boutique reflects this environment with wooden floors and luxurious changing rooms How important is e-commerce and how does it complement the physical space E-commerce is vital to our business and our main area of focus It complements the store as many people browse online and then come in to see us we can show them additional products that are available online The website definitely enhances the customer experience for the physical store We’re planning to develop our website further in 2018 currently reviewing the whole site to ensure that we invest more in order to enhance the customer

particularly in hard-to-abate sectors such as cement Aker Carbon Capture is a world-leading pure-play carbon capture technology company delivering ready-to-use CO2 capture plants serving various industries with carbon emissions Aker Carbon Capture’s unique post-combustion capture technology has been developed in a comprehensive R&D programme over eight years where the performance of numerous solvent mixtures was tested and compared DNV-GL has qualified the amine-based carbon capture technology and the capture plants offer several advantages CCUS is essential in addressing the growing challenge of reducing CO2 emissions and Aker Carbon Capture’s flagship projects can be accelerators in the CCUS industry landscape Hard-to-abate sectors contribute significantly to the world’s CO2 emissions and their emissions are expected to increase in the coming years cement production accounts for approximately 7-8% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions and the transport sector has proliferated in recent years reducing emissions from these sectors becomes critical to mitigating the climate crisis Carbon capture utilisation and storage is a technology that captures CO2 emissions from industrial processes and stores them underground preventing their release into the atmosphere or uses CO2 as a resource to create products and services As around two-thirds of the CO2 emitted by cement plants are associated with the calcination of calcium carbonate these ‘process emissions’ are impossible to avoid through fuel switching or electrification and can only be addressed with CCUS the cement industry is featured heavily in current plans to deploy carbon capture utilisation and storage at scale in industrial regions This would reduce the emissions generated during cement production and could provide a new revenue stream for cement manufacturers as captured CO2 can be sold as a feedstock to other industries the waste-to-energy industry can benefit significantly from capturing their emissions Around 40-60% of the incinerated waste streams are of biogenic origin which offers prominent potential to provide CO2 removal through BECCS to provide CO2 removal through BECCS – bioenergy combined with carbon capture – which can generate high-integrity carbon removal credits The emitter can also sell the biogenic CO2 to PtX users Both options will significantly improve the plant’s current and future business case the European Commission published its Carbon Removal Certificate proposal which will likely guide the future generation of carbon removal certificates and provide crucial frameworks and revenue in Europe Aker Carbon Capture’s proprietary patented technology has been developed over 20 years and is validated through close to 60,000 operating hours and verified for several applications which can be applied to existing plants or new builds The process uses a biodegradable mixture of water and organic amine solvents to absorb the CO2 and has a market-leading HSE profile Aker Carbon Capture is delivering a standardised Just Catch™ modular carbon capture to a project that will capture 100,000 tonnes of CO2 per year from the end of 2023 at Twence’s waste-to-energy plant in Hengelo The plant will reduce CO2 emissions associated with energy generation from the incineration of non-recyclable waste The captured CO2 will be used to boost production in nearby greenhouses This is a unique example of the circular economy Aker Carbon Capture was proud to be selected by Norcem Heidelberg Materials for the Brevik CCS EPC delivery the world’s first large-scale carbon capture plant at a cement facility The plant will have superior heat integration with the existing cement Facture and will capture 400,000 tonnes of CO2 annually with several key milestones achieved and all major purchase orders placed including all nine Waste Heat Recovery Units The Brevik CCS project is part of Longship the Norwegian Government’s full-scale carbon capture The carbon capture utilisation and storage market is changing This is due to high levels of activity from the private sector and increasing expectations from civil society to reduce emissions in addition to government policy that is increasingly supportive of carbon capture utilisation and storage Global governments have rolled out impact schemes for industry such as direct funding What all these initiatives need to have in common is to incentivise actors that act first by providing the most attractive support early or in a limited time frame Examples include the Danish CCUS strategy and announced funding tenders and announced funding tenders for CO2 capture which focus on hard-to-abate sectors the Dutch SDE++ subsidy Contract for Difference approach The CCUS project cost depends greatly on the size of the project and proximity to necessary infrastructure and permanent storage Aker Carbon Capture recognises the opportunity to achieve significant cost reductions through technology development Many carbon capture utilisation and storage projects are highly reliant on cross-border interaction and often must manoeuvre different levels of national legislation and policy domains which can restrict the overall feasibility of the project and generate uncertainty on critical aspects of the business case National climate legislation and cross-border policymaking should instead facilitate projects that demand co-operation between countries and regions The EU ETS has been hovering around €90/tonne of CO2 over the past months and is set to increase exponentially over the coming years Its forthcoming changes under the Fit for 55 flagship EU climate policy package will continue to drive decarbonisation in Europe It will also hold global exporters accountable for their emissions through the incoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism these changes are materialising and solidifying their impact towards the latter half of the decade; the climate crisis does not have that time to spare The US Inflation Reduction Act takes a different approach to make CCUS a viable economic option for emitting industries by generating tax credits and payouts – embodying a carrot approach carbon capture utilisation and storage is a crucial technology to address the growing challenge of reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating the climate crisis Focusing on hard-to-abate sectors such as cement They contribute significantly to the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are expected to increase in the coming years The deployment of CCUS in these sectors can serve as a model for other industries demonstrating the viability and cost-effectiveness of the technology actual projects that start capturing CO2 and either store or utilise it will take us closer to crucial global climate goals Projects such as Twence CCU and Brevik CCS are leading the way But we need many more of these to make a difference https://www.linkedin.com/company/aker-carbon-capture/

Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) and blasting equipment manufacturer Leering Hengelo have announced the launch of two new de-powdering systems for 3D printed parts Available to order immediately, the PostProDP platform and larger PostProDP Pro machine have been tested by customers throughout Europe and the United States The new systems are said to be automation-ready and have been designed in a bid to help users of powder bed fusion additive manufacturing systems save on costs and time when post-processing printed parts AMT and Leering calculate that up to 60% of the manufacturing costs of 3D printed parts can be attributed to highly manual post-processing steps. Supplementing AMT’s offering of vapour smoothing platforms the PostProDP series is material agnostic and works with all powder-based 3D printing systems Both of the de-powdering machines have been CE and ATEX certified and use ionising units to reduce the static electricity generated during blasting and leave parts free of excess powder in a process that takes around ten minutes the PostProDP's PLC controller is pre-loaded with ‘recipes’ for common material combinations allowing users to seamlessly and quickly integrate the platforms into their workflow The machines are also equipped with tumble baskets which can be adjusted and removed to optimise the cleaning of parts and minimise the leakage of fine particulate powders after processing “AMT’s vision is to develop fully automated safe and sustainable post-processing solutions to enable the industrial production of additively manufactured parts at scale,” commented AMT CEO Joseph Crabtree “We first achieved this with the successful commercialisation of the PostPro3D vapour smoothing system De-powdering is the next key bottleneck in the post-processing chain and PostProDP goes a long way to mitigate many of the current issues with cleaning AM parts We are delighted to be partnering with industry experts Leering on this industry critical mission.” Leering boasts 80 years’ experience and deep expertise surface finish and treatment The company offers a range of blasting cabinets and systems and is enthusiastic about its collaboration with AMT “The partnership with AMT will allow us to strengthen each other’s positions in additive manufacturing and offer joint customers globally the best solution for their post-processing needs,” added André Gaalman “We’re excited to offer our customers each other’s solutions and bring a next-generation of post-processing solutions to the market.” Get your FREE print subscription to TCT Magazine Exhibit at the UK's definitive and most influential 3D printing and

Challenge meeting in Hengelo on Sunday (11) The world indoor champion came tantalisingly close to her own Dutch record of 3:56.05 proving that her move to the USA in the winter of 2016 was a good decision Hassan followed pacemaker Jenny Meadows for the first 800m She then proceeded to pull away from the rest of the field for the remainder of the race forging ahead to the finish line unchallenged to win by almost five seconds Ethiopia’s Besu Sado was second in 4:00.98 Now fit again after the injuries that hampered her performance at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Hassan has high hopes for the IAAF World Championships London 2017 whose lifetime best of 3:56.05 was set in the race in which Genzebe Dibaba broke the world record Maria Lasitskene also set a world-leading mark in Hengelo The world high jump champion wrapped up the victory with her first-time clearance at 1.94m a height that no other woman managed to negotiate She then sailed over 2.00m and a PB of 2.04m at the first time of asking before three unsuccessful attempts at a would-be world record of 2.10m The last time a woman jumped higher than Lasitskene’s winning mark was at the 2012 Olympics Oksana Okuneva and Marie-Laurence Jungfleisch both jumped 1.90m for the second place while Olympic champion Ruth Beitia was only fourth with 1.85m With four excellent jumps – the last one of 8.62m – Luvo Manyonga was the outstanding winner of the long jump The Olympic silver medallist had jumps of 8.60m 8.40m and 8.46m before he finished his series with the winning distance of 8.62m It was the first time since 2009 that a long jumper had achieved two jumps of 8.60m or farther within the same series South African compatriot Ruswahl Samaai was second with 8.34m and Damar Forbes third with 8.29m The only other athlete who surpassed eight metres was Michel Torneus with 8.10m World silver medallist Fabrice Lapierre recorded fouls with his first three jumps and so took no further part in the competition In the 30 minutes following Hassan’s 1500m triumph two other Dutch victories came in quick succession World 200m champion Dafne Schippers won the 100m in 11.08 (-1.3m/s) but was pushed all the way by Blessing Okagbare South Africa’s Carina Horn placed third in 11.35 “For now it’s OK,” said Schippers but that was with the wind in my back.” Schippers will run at the IAAF Diamond League meetings in Oslo and Lausanne in the weeks to come Adopting a different tactic to his usual front-running style 2015 European indoor bronze medallist Thijmen Kupers came through strong on the home straight to win the 800m in a PB of 1:44.99 Kenyan newcomer Wycliffe Kinyamal was second in 1:45.65 and Britain’s Kyle Langford was third in 1:45.91 As was the case in the women’s event the world-leading mark fell in the men’s 1500m Bahrain’s Alsadik Mikhou clocked a PB of 3:31.34 to defeat a strong field World indoor 3000m champion Yomif Kejelcha was second in 3:32.94 and Ronald Musagala was third in a Ugandan record of 3:33.65 Olympic silver medallist Sandi Morris won the pole vault with 4.75m Olga Mullina was second with the same height and Robeilys Peinado third with 4.55m Daniel Talbot was the fastest man in the 200m the Briton defeated world bronze medallist Anaso Jobodwana (20.62) and Adam Gemili (20.64) European indoor bronze medallist Justyna Swiety took a big chunk off her PB by winning the 400m in a meeting record of 51.15 the fastest time by a Polish woman since 1986 while Lisanne de Witte of the Netherlands also set a PB Fresh from his African record of 13.11 in Prague last weekend South Africa’s Antonio Alkana won the 110m hurdles in 13.47 (-1.4m/s) with Aurel Manga second in 13.49 and Jonathan Cabral third in 13.52 European indoor bronze medallist Pamela Dutkiewicz won the women’s spritn hurdles in 12.86 (-0.7m/s) USA’s Kristi Castlin was second in 12.92 and Nadine Visser third in 13.00 European champion Tatsiana Khaladovich beat world champion Katharina Molitor in the javelin Khaladovich had two throws beyond 63 metres producing her best of 63.90m in the final round Christin Hussong was second 61.25m and Margaryta Dorozhon third with 60.63 Lithuania’s Andrius Gudzius once again came out on top in the discus The Olympic finalist threw 66.34m to defeat world leader Fedrick Dacres World silver medallist Philip Milanov was fifth with 64.04m The Ethiopian federation incorporated their trials for the World Championships within the FBK Games the highlight came in the women’s 3000m steeplechase where 2012 Olympic silver medallist Sofia Assefa produced a dominant run to break her own national record with 9:07.06 Birtukan Adamu was a distant second in 9:28.67 world U20 bronze medallist Getnet Wale won comfortably with a world U18 best of 8:12.28 Diriba Tesfaye was in second place as he entered the finishing straight but was overtaken by Tafese Soboka (8:13.22) and Chala Beyo (8:13.24) The top four finishers all set PBs and now occupy places four six
