The 2008 World Indoor Champs in Valencia, Spain, delivered a numerous amount of fantastic performances and displays of why this sport is great.
It also delivered its fair share of surprises and upsets from Tamsyn Lewis over 800m to Sudan's stunning win over the Men's 800m by Abubaker Kaki Khamis.
Also worth mentioning was the gutsy and determined performance of Belgium's Tia Hellebaut in the Women's Pentathlon .
In some instances it was business as usual for the likes of Russia's Yelena Isinbaeva in the polevault and the affirmation that New Zealand's Valerie Vili is the real deal in the Women's shotput.
The new World Record established by Yelena Soboleva for Women over 1500m confirmed Yelena is a good name to have.
There was also the winning of Ethiopia's Tariku Bakele in the Men's 3000m where the brother to the more famous and successful Kenisisa Bekele emerging slightly from the daunting shadow of the King of Track Distance running. This performance augers well for the future attacks on the world 5 and 10000m records as this success should surely boost Tariku to higher levels. The younger Bekele has assisted his brother in his attacks on records and now with an extra boost shall surely be able to take him further down the line in those attempts.
One of the grand specatacles at the end of every games is the 4x400m relay finals and boy is it normally a bun fight, well indoors its an accident waiting to happen. Great entertainment again but not so for Russian Men's 400m team.
A great championship and a spectacle of the highest order
