Carina Horn, a South African sprinter mentioned earlier this year, ran a very good 100m in Austria today beating a field of American, Jamaican, and Nigerian sprinters:
100m (-0,1) 1/ Carina Horn 11.21
At the same meet, Laura Roesler won her first professional race since leaving Oregon.
Meanwhile in Poland, a new name to me - Jakub Krzewina - ran a 45.11 in winning the 400m. Hope there's more to come from this new Pole.
We usually talk about the sprints here, but there was an incredible performance in the 800m this wkend.
Pierre-Ambroise Bosse of France ran an amazing time of 1:42.53 for 2nd place in Monaco. He was closing fast on the winner, and with a few more meters would have taken 1st place.
In any event, this is the 4th fastest 800m time by a European ever.
It's also the fastest time by a European since 2001.
Bosse is 22 yrs old.
