BEKELE WINS IN PARIS; STAYS ALIVE IN GL JACKPOT

PARIS-ST.
DENIS (17-Jul) -- What was to be a tactical test for Kenenisa Bekele
over a shorter distance largely turned into yet another time trial for
the triple Olympic champion at the Meeting Areva on a wet track in
front of a crowd of 46,500 at the Stade de France here tonight.
By
the time he entered the fourth lap of the 3000m, his
eagerly-anticipated face-off with double world champion Bernard Lagat
turned into a lopsided victory for Bekele to stay very much alive in
the chase for a chunk of the $1 million ÅF Golden League Jackpot.
“The
race was hard because of the wind and rain,” Bekele said, but that
hardly showed when he threw down a 58 second final lap en route to his
7:28.64 win, more than four-and-a-half seconds ahead of Lagat. Bekele
had a four-meter lead with 1600m to go, and extended it to nearly 20
two laps later.
“I still have some work to do on my
endurance,” explained Lagat, who was nonetheless pleased with his
7:33.15 career best at age 34. “What I mainly need now are races before
Berlin,” he said, adding that a pair of final tune-ups --a mile in
London next weekend and a 1000m race in Stockholm on July 31-- will
help him decide whether he’ll defend both of his world titles at the
World championships next month.
Further back, Mourad Amdouni of
France was third in 7:37.50, the fastest by a European this season, and
American Chris Solinsky ran near his personal best with a 7:37.72
clocking in fourth.
The rain which began to fall during the
men’s 3000 picked up significantly by the time the starter’s gun
sounded the start of the steeplechase. It quickly became evident that
Frenchman Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad’s hopes to join the event’s sub-8
club would have to wait for another day.
The Frenchman did,
nonetheless, collect a significant victory over Kenyan Ezekiel Kemboi,
8:13.23 to 8:15.27, with Finland’s European champion Jukka Keskisalo
finishing third in a personal best 8:15.59.
American Anna
Willard took home the highest profile win of her career with a come
from behind victory in the 800m. Running in the middle of the track,
Willard, the former U.S. record holder in the 3000m steeplechase,
chased down the field over the final 100 meters to win in 1:58.80, her
second sub-two minute performance of the season in as many attempts at
her least-run distance. She edged Italy’s Mediterranean Games champion
Elisa Cusma (1:58.99) and Russian Oksana Zbrozhek (1:59.13). The first
seven women all dipped under two minutes with season’s best times,
while Shannon Rowbury, the USA 1500m champion, also improved her
personal best to 2:00.94 in eighth.
Unlike the women’s race, the
men’s two lapper was bereft of any drama with Olympic silver medalist
Ahmed Ismail winning comfortably in 1:45.85 off of a slow first half
(51.61), well ahead of Algerian Nadjim Mansour (1:46.31) and
Berlin-bound American Khadevis Robinson (1:46.47).
The
conditions weighed heavily throughout the program, but didn’t dampen
the Jackpot aspirations of the other three remaining contenders
–American Sanya Richards who won the 400m, Jamaican Kerron Stewart who
took the 100m, and Russian Yelena Isinbayeva who won the pole vault in
just one jump.
Meet poster boy Usain Bolt of Jamaica won the 100
with a season’s best and meet record 9.79, despite a poor start and the
wet track. Second place Daniel Bailey of the Netherlands Antilles set
a national record of 9.91,
After a six-week break, the ÅF Golden
League series resumes with the Weltklasse in Zurich on August 28 after
the IAAF World Championships in Athletics concludes in Berlin.

PARIS PREVIEW: BEKELE VS. LAGAT IN 3000m; MEKHISSI-BENABBAD GUNNING FOR SUB-8:00
By Bob Ramsak
(c) 2009 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved
PARIS
(16-Jul) – First-year Meeting Areva meet director Laurent Boquillet may
have scored a major coup by managing to bring Usain Bolt to the French
capital for tomorrow night’s fourth stop of the ÅF Golden League, but a
race he’s equally looking forward to the first-ever 3000m contest
between double world champion Bernard Lagat and triple Olympic champion
Kenenisa Bekele.
Bekele arrives in Paris as one of four
remaining contenders for a slice of the $1 million ÅF Golden League
Jackpot, and after fending off all challengers in three successive
5000m races, Lagat is seen as a possible spoiler when the event moves
down in distance by five laps. The 34-year-old arrives in good spirits
after a solid 3:32.56 1500m victory in Tangiers four days ago, but
Bekele insisted today that Lagat’s entry won’t change his game plan one
bit.
“I’m concentrating on my race and my time,” Bekele said,
adding that he’s shooting for a fast performance as well. If not an
assault on Daniel Komen’s legendary 7:20.67 world record set nearly 13
years ago, then perhaps an improvement on his own career best of
7:25.79 set two years ago.
“Maybe I’ll try for a world record,” Bekele said. “If not, then maybe for my personal record. It’s 7:25, so it’s not easy.”
Bekele laughed off a suggestion by a reporter who asked if he requested a fast pace in order to knock the kick out of Lagat.
“The fast pace is for me,” he said after a hearty laugh. “But if someone else wants to follow, that would be good, too.”
Olympic
steeplechase champion Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad is also asking for a
brisk pace, one that will help propel him into the event’s
still-exclusive sub-eight minute club.
“My dream is to run under
eight minutes,” said the shy, somewhat enigmatic but extremely
confident 24-year-old Frenchman, who has produced career bests over
four distances already this season. “And I believe in my dream. Most
important Friday will be the time. Even if I finish second and run
under eight minutes, that will be okay.”
His target also means
an assault on compatriot Bob Tahri’s 8:02.19 European record set just
13 days ago in Metz. Mekhissi-Benabbad has already improved his career
best this season, clocking 8:06.09 in Hengelo on June 1, where he was
edged, just as in Beijing, by Kenyan Brimin Kipruto. His chief rival
this weekend will be 2004 Olympic champion Ezekiel Kemboi who improved
his PB to 7:58.85 this year, the fastest in the field.
The
requested pace will bring the leaders through the first kilometer in
2:40 and the second in 5:20. “If they do a good job, I should get
under eight minutes,” Mekhissi-Benabbad said.
The headline act
this weekend is, of course, the meet poster boy Bolt, whose appearance
at a press conference here on Wednesday attracted nearly 150
journalists, a number virtually unprecedented for a one-day meet. His
star power is expected to draw some 50,000 fans to the Stade de France
--the top tier of three will not be open-- the massive stadium just to
the northeast of Paris which hosted the World championships in 2003.
There
is a ‘Bolt Factor’ downside, though. Bringing the 100 and 200m world
record holder takes a large chunk of the meet budget resulting in
thinner fields across the board. That fiscal reality hasn’t escaped
Paris.
The program also includes a pair of 800s, with Olympic
silver medalist Ismail Ahmed Ismail starting as favorite in the men’s
contest. The 23-year-old from Sudan dipped under 1:44 for the first
time in his career with his runner-up finish to Asbel Kiprop in Athens
on Monday, where he clocked 1:43.82. Also arriving in the French
capital in good shape is Berlin-bound American Khadevis Robinson, who
ran a solo 1:44.47 in Santa Monica last weekend.
In a wide open
women’s race, three of the entrants have dipped under two minutes this
season --Mediterranean Games champion Elisa Cusma of Italy, Frenchwoman
Elodie Guegan, and American steeplechase specialist Anna Willard. USA
1500m champion Shannon Rowbury, who ran her PB over the distance here
last year, is also in the field to test her speed.
