...Wariner dominates 400m

Jeremy Wariner began the competition with a ride, along with Powell and Marek Plawgo, in a horse-driven-cab. On the field none of his rivals were even close. The American started with a fast pace and didn’t slow down until the final metres to clock 44.43. Second was Darold Williamson, Wariner’s training partner, in 46.05, who in the beginning of his career beat Wariner 14 times.

The fastest of six Poles was Plawgo, the Osaka 400m Hurdles bronze medallist, who because of the cold ran in his tracksuit and clocked 46.63. Plawgo complained about the high number of competitions after the World Championships, but hoped to run under 49 seconds at the IAAF World Athletics Final.

Powell continues his dominance as well

The men’s 100m race with World record holder Asafa Powell. The Jamaican won easily in 10.12, from Slovenia’s Osaka finalist Matic Osovnikar (10.37), Mike Rodgers and 2003 World Champion Kim Collins (SKN), with both running 10.38.

Running in heavy rain last year, Powell clocked 10.02 this time it was the cold that slowed him. After the race Powell confirmed his busy late season schedule.

After this weekend’s World Athletics Final in Stuttgart, where he’ll contest the 100m, he’ll wrap up his season with 200m races in Shanghai and Yokohama.
