Marcell Deak-Nagy of Hungary broke his own National Jr. record yesterday, this time dipping under the 46 seconds, to 45.74.
Looks like he may be a contender in years to come.
I found this photo of him. Looks like a kid - well he is.

By the way, in the same race, Brent LaRue, ex-Wake Forest 400m hurdler, was right behind him in 45.75.
I don't know that we ever talked about Brent because it seems his coaches at WF weren't using him in the 400m, and had him running hurdles and working on the decathlon.
It seems his true talent lies in the 400m.
Well now that he has a huge PB, I'm sure he's anxious to see how far he can go in this event.
Me too.

Sally Pearson just won the 100 hurdles over a handful of Jamaican man-women. Nice run. It was interesting to see the lineup. There were five Jamaicans and Americans, all with massive steroid-pumped frames and the kind of deltoids you used to only see on a heavyweight boxer. Then there was little Sally, a lovely Swiss miss, and delicate Derval O'Rourke of Ireland. One glance at the lineup and you knew who the roiders were.
In other results (so far), Kevin Borlee finished second in the 400 with a respectable 45.37. On the disappointing side, Jordan Boase continued the decline that started last week at the USTAFS. And David Gillick, who has absolutely fallen off a cliff this year, was Disqualified.
In the 110h, Andrew Turner ran a personal best 13.22, but it was only good for fourth.
Lewandowski beat some awfully good runners to finish second in the 800 with a 1:45.01.

Women's 1500 meter--finally a race to celebrate!
A 1-2-3 finish. American Morgan Uceny (looking in magnificent shape and coming off a US championship) blows the field away. Mischenko second. And France's Dehiba third. A perfect sweep, with all the Ethiopians and Kenyans left in the dust (also Caster Semenya in last).

I wouldn't call Sally "little" LOL. She has plenty of muscles and big shoulders (a la Melinda Gainsford)but not quite such definition. More subcutaneous fat I guess.
But her coach said she was in 12.50 form so spot-on. And since excess wind pushes a hurdler into the hurdles a bit too closely (causing the runner to chop back a bit)I was stoked with 12.47

meanwhile Mancini, the young Swiss sprinter looks pretty pedestrian ... I don't expect anything big from him; lots of gym muscles but no top end speed.

that was a great run by Sally!
Some good news from Holland. Craig Mottram, still trying to regain form after two years of Achilles tendon injuries that kept him from training, won a 1500 in 3:37 (Also, Jordan Boase showed signs of coming back from the disastrous end to his US season and won the 400. There is an interview with him talking about his problems on Flotrack):

wow! Borzakovskiy breaks into the 1.43s at 30.. Hope he's legit
Lots of good results from the meet in Switzerland, but take them with a big, fat grain of salt.
The meet is at 1000m altitude, plus good winds, which is why there were so many good times there, which won't easily be repeated -
Cerruti 10.22 (10.45 last wk in the Italian championships)\
10.26 DiGregorio
10.29 Pickering
Reto Schenkel 20.51
Richard Kilty 20.53 (21.16 last week)
Arnaldo Abrantes 20.61

I hope we see a good time out of Jeremy Wariner today. we really need him back to sub 44 times. I would love to know whats going on with him. does anyone know if he is hurt?

matteo galvan will do the 200m in daegu
and the relay if he is selected (4*100 or 4*400)
i think he might be close to 20 seconds
maybe he can do the final

Okay, seeing as no one else has posted on it, I suppose I will take up the sad duty of describing how dreadful Wariner looked today. Absolutely awful. He was left way, way, way back with the also-rans, and it wasn't even a fast race. He finished fourth. By all indications, he's done. He doesn't even have the speed to dominate the 800 now--Rudisha would clobber him in a 400--so there's not even any point in him attempting to move up.
The good news out of the race was that Borlee (I forget which one) was one of the runners who annihilated Wariner. I don't think the Borlees will ever be as good as Wariner used to be, but they are awfully good.

Kevin Borlee ran a 44.75 which puts him in the medal hunt at the World Champs. It's up for grabs and I would never count out Wariner. He has time to get things fixed.

I believe that puts him at the top of the list for fastest 400m in the world this year.

I think he is injured or is sick because there is no way that Wariner would lose that much endurance in the final 100 of a 400 meter race. If it was a speed issue he wouldn't be near the lead coming off the bend. I also think Wariner has peaked out but if he could get close to his form in 04' through 07' he would still dominate this event as nobody has stepped up to fill the void at the top of this event.
