Powell in fine form.

Asafa Powell flew over the 100m at the Oslo meeting (9.72), accounting for the League diamond, but a favorable wind was deprived of the MPM 2010. Renaud Lavillenie was imperial on the help of the pole vault, as Croatia's Blanka Vlasic in height.
Powell crossed the line after running 9.72 or better than 11/100 MMP he held since the meeting in Ostrava (Czech Republic) May 27, when he improved the time of his compatriot Usain Bolt ( 9.86). Alas The tail wind of 2.1 m / s prevented the approval of the mark.
"I did not feel the wind, I thought it would be one point something ...", Told the sprinter but this did not hide his pleasure. "I like the feeling of seeing the 9.72 timing table!", He exclaimed after offering a lap of honor with the widely shared public hands tightened by tens up and take pictures with admirers. Powell, who was no longer measured Bolt phenomenon since the World in Berlin in August 2009, is now hungry: "I am ready to face anyone!", He has launched.
At the pole, the expected duel between the Australian Steven Hooker, Olympic and world champion (outdoors as indoors), and French Lavillenie Renaud, bronze medalist at the World-2009, has not occurred. The Australian walked away with zero points (three failures at the first bar at 5.40m), while in three jumps, the French have deleted as many bars and secured the victory. "I was really warming up, but during the competition, manage the wind was very difficult"Said Hooker.

Vlasic finally:
In approaching 5.80 m, only the German Malta Mohr, winner of the competition in Shanghai (5.70 m), was still head Lavillenie, but lost to the number of tests. Finally, the French had only to pass the bar and then tried unsuccessfully 5.92 m. "I am satisfied that in these conditions 5.80m"Has he commented.
The duel has however taken place at the height ladies between the American Chaunte Howard, who recently climbed to 2.04 m, and the Croatian Blanka Vlasic. The two women spent the first four bars at their first attempt at passage, and eliminated all competition. In head to head, they were deadlocked at 1.99 m to 2.01 m. to address Vlasic, who had not yet crossed the 2 meters in two competitions, this time has passed the first test, while the American would be caught. The two women then failed at 2.03 m and the Croatian necessary.
To the delight of the public, Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway has become the javelin to his final test (86.0 m). After a mind-blowing 800m on Kenyan David Rudisha has established the best world performance of the season in the 800 meters in 1 min 42 sec 04/100, less than a second world record (1:41.11).
