First to appear at the front of the field were Holland’s Luc Krotwaar [PB 2:10:59] and Angola’s João N’Tyamba [PB 2:11:40], who were closely followed by Spain’s Julio Rey [PB 2:07:27] A year before, during the Marathon at the Munich European Championships, the Spaniard had underestimated the ability of the front-runner. On that occasion the athlete did not come back and Rey had to settle for 3rd place. He was certainly not going to allow this to happen to him again. When Swiss runner, Viktor Röthlin [PB 2:10:54] , appeared in front and forged a slight lead, Rey was right there. [Read more…]

Day 7 of the Paris 2003 World Track Championships, saw the running of semi-finals in the 800m Men and 1500m Women.
The big shock here was Andre Bucher not making the final. The Swiss athlete had hoped to make the final after returning to competition this season after a lengthy period of problems. | results |
In the Women’s 1500m Süreyya Ayhan displayed tactics and composure that will surely have given her competitors hope for the final. Very strange tactics to try at such an important time | results |
