World record-free victory for Duplantis in the pole vault and Warholm is beaten by McMaster in the 400 hurdles.
The Swede Armand Duplantis celebrates his victory in Zurich.PHILIPP SCHMIDLIEFE
Tired, unmotivated, Mo Katir finished in thirteenth place in the 1.500 of the Zurich rally, the prestigious Weltklasse, eleventh appointment of the Diamond League, with an infamous, improper mark: 3:40.11. None, no matter how bad, can erase their successes of the season. But, in those circumstances, the trip was left over. TO Mario Garcia Romo, tenth with a time of 3:32.12, had something more to offer than a race ridden for Josh Kerr to break the British record (3:28.81), held by Mo Farah for 10 years. It was not possible. Kerr (3:30.51) lost in the last meter the victory in the final “plongeon” of Yared Nuguse (3:30.49).
As usual, Armand Duplantis won the jump with pole (6.06). And, also as usual, he attempted 6.23, the world record. He didn’t make it. Probably, he won’t take long to achieve it, but each time, logically, it is more difficult to overcome those levels. At least, among women, the Australian Nina Kennedy (4.91) became the leader of the year.
the defeat of Karsten Warholm in the 400 hurdles (47.30) against Kyron McMaster (47.26), of the British Virgin Islands, it was a relative surprise. The Norwegian has been winning with less and less ease for some time. He is in a form trough or some kind of psychological interval. With all security, he will return to his previous benefits.
ShaCarri Richardson, in his winning inertia, took the 100 with 10.88. And, in the same wake of herself, Shericka Jackson “drew” with the 200
at 21.82, an excellent mark, although far from his 21.41 in the World Cup. The magical moment that allowed him to get a little closer to Florence Griffith happened, after the peak of form at the World Cup and the consequent “deflation”. After her peak, the season languishes. And many athletes with her.
Yulimar Rojas, also somewhat inferior to herself, but always superior to the rest, scored the triple jump with 15.15. AND Yemif Kejelcha the 5,000 meters with 12:46.91. Going below 13 minutes has been a routine for a long time. But running under 12:50 still has a lot of merit.
They also had it, within dry good records, Miltiadis Tentoglou in the long jump (8.20) Mutaz Essa Barshim in the height (2.35) and Danielle Williams in the 100 meter hurdles (12.54). All three, champions in Budapest.
The 200, the climax of the meeting, put another champion, triple gold, Noah Lyles, on the track at the peak of his stardom and his exaggerated? ambition to break Usain Bolt’s record (19.19). He won with 19.80. and in a hurry to Erriyon Knighton (19.87). It is also saturated.
