Henriette Jaeger of Norway wins the women's 400m at the Rome Diamond league in a great time of 49.60. I believe that is the #4 time in the world. She is a little dynamo.
Kelly Hodgkinson, the #1 800m runner, came 7th with a PB of 51.14.

Finally he does it. He flirted with that sub 13 for a long time. He was so close a few times but now he has done it. This is great
and I hope he gets him his confidence and swagger back from college. He was almost unbeatable at Florida State. He just may
have the talent to make a run at the world record. The first step is to run sub 13's more often. I'm happy for Trey.

Italian Sprinter Samuele Ceccarelli ran a time of 10.20 +1.7 yesterday. Not blazing but a step back into respectability. Many of us here
and in Italy had such high hopes for his potential but he has mostly regressed from about 3 or 4 years ago. Regardless it's good to see
him get a nice wind legal time to build his confidence early in the summer season.

That's a big 400 PB for Keely. She is in the best shape of her life, and targeting the 800m world record this summer. It's the oldest in track and field, held by one of the old communist druggies.

Yannick Wolf got a horrible start today but still managed a 2nd place in a time of 10.14 +0.8 He should have went sub 10.10 but maybe next time. Youngster Heiko Gussmann ran a 10.19 in his first race of the year.
Konstantin Krylov opened up his outdoor season with a 10.17 0.0 wind. Not too bad for his first outing.

I truely believe that she can run in the mid to high 11.80's in peak form. She is an amazing talent!

He will be in the Diamond League 100 Meters tommorow. If the pressure doesn't get him I can see another new personal best time!

Sub-1:43 in the 800 is like sub-10 in the 100: world class. Britain has a great tradition of middle distance runners, from Coe, Ovett and Cram who captured the nation in the 80s, to Kerr, Wightman and Burgin today.

Amy Hunt is amazing. A Cambridge University graduate in addition to a top-tier athlete. And in the UK there's no system of sport scholarships; she got there on academic merit. Not bad looking either! Elite human capital.

Hodgkinson plays her cards wrong and gets beat in the 800m even though she set a new PB and NR.

The key is staying healthy along with hard work. Happy it worked out for her as she has had elite talent since she was a teenager. Amy Hunt was hurt alot early on and I wasn't sure if she would ever stay on the track long enough. Glad her body has held up as she is one of our favorite female sprinters to watch now.
It's too bad Charlie Dobson hasn't done the same. The talent is there but injuries & other factors seem to have kept him from what he
could have been. Dobson is still a way better 400 meter runner than Boling any day of the week despite the injuries. Dobson in my opinion would have been better off sticking just to the 200 meters. I think it's easier on your body that the 400.
