Paris 2003 Day 8


Day 8 of the Paris 2003 World Track Championships, saw the running of the Men’s Marathon in the heat of the afternoon and the much awaited Women’s 5000m final.

The Men’s Marathon produced a stunning display from Morocco’s Jaouad Gharib, who in only his 2nd attempt at the distance stunned the rest of the field to win in a new Championship Record of 2:08:31, closely followed by Spain’s Julio Rey in 2nd and Italy’s Stefano Baldini in 3rd. | report and results | [ on separate page ] [Read more…]

Paris 2003 Day 7


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 |
