White wins 200; Team USA women win 3 medals Thursday PARIS – Kelli White became the first American woman ever to win the 100 and 200 meters in the same World Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Thursday, taking the 200 going away in a world-leading and personal-best time of 22.05 seconds at the Stade de France. It was the highlight for Team USA’s most successful evening of the Championships thus far. White (Union City, Calif.) got out well in the race, quickly establishing a lead on the field on the curve and never giving her competitors a chance to close the gap in the final 100 meters. Her 200m gold comes after she won the 100 on Sunday night and is her second personal best of the Championships. Teammate Torri Edwards (Los Angeles, Calif.) also won her second medal of the meet, placing third in 22.47 seconds in the 200. Edwards finished second to White on Sunday in the 100 meters. Russian Anastasiya Kapachinskaya overtook Edwards in the final meters for second in a personal-best time of 22.38. Sandra Glover (Sugar Land, Texas) added a silver to Thursday’s medal totals in the women’s 400-meter hurdles. The two-time fifth-place finisher at the World Championships had a strong stretch run, moving past world record holder Yuliya Pechonkina before the final hurdle to win silver in a season-best time of 53.65 seconds. Jana Pittman of Australia won the gold in 53.22, with Pechonkina third in 53.71. The U.S. men will look for similar success as their distaff counterparts Friday in the finals of the men’s 200 meters, when for the first time in World Championships history, they have three runners in the final. Darvis Patton (Fort Worth, Texas) won the first semifinal heat on Thursday in a personal-best time of 20.03 and looked very easy doing it; J.J. Johnson (Garland, Texas) was fourth in the same race to advance. John Capel (Gainesville, Florida) won the second semifinal in 20.18 to set up the U.S. onslaught on the final. Americans also found success in the amputee 200 meter race on Thursday, with Marlon Shirley scoring a huge win in the race with his time of 22.93 seconds. American teammate Danny Andrews placed second in 23.60. In other finals Thursday, Derek Miles (Jonesboro, Ark.) and Tim Mack (Knoxville, Tenn.) tied for sixth in the pole vault with a clearance of 5.70m/18-8.25. Both men had their only miss at 5.50m/18-0.5 before missing all three attempts at 5.75m/18-10.5. The competition was won by Giuseppe Gibilisco of Italy in a national record 5.90m/19-4.25. Team USA showed why it is the world’s #1 110-meter hurdling power as four American men advanced to Friday’s semifinal round. Allen Johnson (Irmo, S.C. – 13.42), Larry Wade (Canoga Park, Calif. – 13.49) and Chris Phillips (Maumelle, Ark. - 13.26 personal record) all won their quarterfinal races, while Terrence Trammell (Columbia, S.C.) overcame a horrendously slow start (reaction time .258 seconds) to place third in his heat in 13.51 and automatically advance. Anna Mahon (Orange, Conn.) fared well in her first World Championship, placing seventh in the women’s hammer throw with a toss of 68.45m/224-7. Melissa Price (Lincoln, Neb.) was 12th (62.34/204-6) in a competition won by Cuba’s Yipsi Moreno (73.33m/240-7). Grace Upshaw (Redwood City, Calif.) had the 10th-best jump of the day in women’s long jump qualifying with 6.55m/21-6 and will compete in Saturday’s final. Jorge Torres (Boulder, Colo.) will compete in Sunday’s final of the men’s 5,000 meters after making the final cut as the last qualifier. Torres was ninth in the second of two semifinal races Thursday, finishing in 13:42.43 to post the 12th-fastest time among all competitors on the day. The men’s 800 meters 1st round provided plenty of drama for Team USA. With eight heats being run, World Indoor champion David Krummenacker (Tucson, Ariz.) finished fourth in his heat in 1:45.84 and had to wait to see if he would be among the eight fastest finishers who did not place in the top two of their heats. In heat 3, Khadevis Robinson (Santa Monica, Calif.) came off the final curve in first but was running in fourth place heading into the finish when Mouhssin Chehibi of Morocco tangled brief briefly with Robinson’s arms as he passed Robinson. Chehibi was disqualified, but Robinson’s third-place time of 1:47.85 wasn’t enough to move him to the next round. Team USA managers filed a protest, however, and Robinson was advanced to the semifinals. In heat five, Sam Burley (Philadelphia) ran out of his lane and was disqualified. Kim Kreiner was 12th in Group A in women’s javelin qualifying. She threw 54.84m/179-11 and did not advance. Team USA Thursday quotes Women’s 200 meter final Kelli White: It is great and I’m happy. I’m ready to go to bed. I’m not feeling very good right now. I guess I needed more training from the indoor season and that’s what I did, I got in more training and dedicated myself to doing well here. We were all nervous before the start and we gotta get over that. Torri Edwards: Of course, I would’ve liked to come out of it with a better medal, but overall it’s pretty good. I mean, after eight rounds, what can you say? I didn’t have too much left that last 100 meters. Turn 2 is kind of tight, but that’s okay. You have to deal with it. This makes two medals for me and I’m pretty pleased with it. This gives me confidence going into the Olympics. I’m going to go back home, work hard and hopefully come out on top next year. Women’s 400-meter hurdles final Sandra Glover: My coach told me to sprint in the end. Coming off hurdle 7, I sprinted home and that was all that was on my mind. My husband had told me that they would probably get out hard. My thing was to stay close, run within myself, and finish hard…and that’s what I did. Men’s Pole Vault final Derek Miles: I wasn’t quite as snappy as I was for the prelims. I think I probably put a little too much into the prelims, but that’s what you have to do to be safe to make it into the finals. I did try to get on one of the bigger poles in my bag. It didn’t work out as well as I would have hoped. But, I have a learning experience on that pole. Especially at a meet like this where people just continue to raise the bar and jump on the first. It was an exciting meet to watch and I’m just honored to be a part of it. Maybe next year I’ll make sure I get a little bit better. Tim Mack: I had a lot of fun. I was just one or two steps away from making that jump to 5.8, 5.85. The things I’ve been working on are coming though, but I wish I was here maybe four or five weeks ago. So, then I’d have a little more time. Next year is going to count a little bit more. I think I’ll be ready for sure. Women’s Hammer final Anna Mahon: This year was kind of a building year and I’ve learned a lot, so I’m happy. Everybody was within about a meter or two of everyone else, so it was anybody’s game. It was a fun competition. I felt okay. I was a little off and on, and at times I was a little bit slow. I feel like I did a good job here and I feel pretty confident. Men’s 200 meters semifinal J.J. Johnson: Running in lane 3 didn’t bother me at all. I can’t worry about that. I was kinda slow coming out as usual, and the ending wasn’t as good as I would’ve liked it to be. From here on in it’s all mental preparation. Darvis Patton: I wasn’t trying to PR, I’m just trying to take it round by round. I didn’t really want to go that fast today. I did feel good. I knew that everybody was going to bring their “A” game, so I figured I better bring my “A” game too. John Capel: I’m just here to have fun. Didn’t I tell you all that I was here to have fun? Tomorrow I’m planning on having some more fun. I think someone is going to have to run 19 seconds to win. Even Maurice gave me motivation today. He said, ‘come on Capel, I’m down and y’all got to take care of it,’ and I respect him for saying that. He’s a great sprinter and I’d like to follow in his footsteps. Men’s 5,000 meters semifinal Jorge Torres: I went out there and said ‘this is my final, I’m going out there and trying to qualify for the final round just so I can get the experience.’ If I got to the final round then it was going to be a plus to my career here. I’ve got to take some steps, some small steps and this is one big step moving into the final round. So, I’m pretty excited. I’ve definitely learned that at this stage in the game there are no softies out there. It’s do or die, if you lose ground you can’t get it back. It’s tough. Men’s 110 Hurdles quarterfinals Terrence Trammell: I noticed all meet that the blocks have been an issue. I was a little sluggish coming out, I didn’t expect the gun to be so quick. I got through, made it to the next round and the next one will be a lot better. It took me a minute to get going, that’s all. This is my first meet in a long time. I’ve been battling hamstring injuries. I actually feel healthy. I’m not worried. I expect to make the final and be on the podium. Allen Johnson: The first round is typically not nearly as stressful as the finals or semifinals. This was my first race in about three weeks, it felt good. Hopefully I can have a performance similar to what I had a few months ago when I ran 12.97. I’m excited, I’m confident. Larry Wade: It was a little shaky. I think it was a little shaky for everyone. At this point, I just enjoy going out there. I did what was told of me: get out, try to run three or four hurdles and I had to select which three or four I wanted it to be. I did that to qualify for the next round. I don’t think any of the whole race was smooth. I was just trying to feel my way through. It’s been an up and down season, I haven’t had a whole lot of races. For me to sit out the last week and a half and not really go through any races, it was kind of difficult. So, now I’m kicking off the rust and looking forward to the next round. Chris Phillips: It felt real good, I just wanted to work on my technique in the first one, stay smooth. Things have been coming together, I hope that they stay together. I’m pretty pleased because I wasn’t expecting a PR, I just wanted to get through it. It just felt so good, I thought I’d just go a little bit to just see where I was. I didn’t really want to push it, but wasn’t a hundred percent, hopefully I’ve got some more left. Men’s 800m heats David Krummenacker: It was pretty good, a little fast out there the first lap. I knew we were in for a hot one after that, so I told myself just to stay relaxed. Whatever the time was I felt the second lap would be pretty safe to get through on time. It got a little dicey towards the end, but I have to roll with the punches and hope for the best. Khadevis Robinson: I’m just cursed. I had the lead, then one kid went past me…we just got kind of tangled up. I was in the perfect position, coming off the curve. I felt good. It’s like my form breaks down. I need to maintain my form a little bit better. Samuel Burley: It went pretty well, I felt pretty well out there. I felt pretty smooth and confident through about 500 (meters). Then, I went outside and got bumped around a bit more. Women’s Long Jump qualifying Grace Upshaw: It’s a bit nerve-wracking. I’m the final, that’s all that matters. It felt quick (on the runway). I’ve got to get used to it a little bit. It’s just so exciting, you can get swept up in it very quickly. I’ve got some work to do, but I’m ready for Saturday. 9th IAAF World Championships in Athletics Paris - 28 08 2003 Results Official Results - 200 METRES AMPUTEE - Men - Final Qual. rule: Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 18:00 Wind:-0.5 m/s Official Results - 400 METRES CEREB.
