10000m Men Winner Jose Manuel Martinez Spain Time 27:47.65
\nJose Manuel Martinez of Spain held on to win the Men’s 10000m from Germany’s Dieter Baumann. The German made a late dash for victory and was unable to catch the Spaniard, however he was able to pass Martinez’s team-mate, Jose Rios, over the final 20 meters.<\/p>\n

The Spanish are creating a nation of distance runners who believe in the ethics of teamwork and a win for one Spaniard is a win for all. Martinez’s victory was seen as a success for Rios who displayed a huge smile on witnessing his team-mate take the title.<\/p>\n

Below is a ‘capping’ of the Women’s 800m and Men’s 3000m S\/Chase semi final.<\/p>\n

Men’s 3000m steeplechase
\nAntonio Jimenez of Spain, the favourite for gold, and his team-mate controlled heat one with a time of 8:27.60. Time-to-Run’s favourite to win the final is the French athlete, Bouaddellah Tahri, who was content to finish in 3rd qualyfing spot. Holland’s Simon Vroemen, the new European record holder ran a controlled race to easily take the second heat.<\/p>\n

Women’s 800m
\nKelly Holmes, the Commonwealth Games champion over 1500m, ran a controlled and comfortable race to qualify for the final. The Brit only moved to the front over the last 100m. Jolande Ceplak cruised into the final and looks a good bet for the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
