110 m haies (vf: 1,2 m/s):
1. Terrence Trammell (USA) 13.22
2. Ladji Doucouré (FRA) 13.52
3. Robert Hughes (USA) 13.60
...
6. Allen Johnson (USA) 14.19
...
Dominique Arnold (USA) abandon
Was there a collision between Arnold and Johnson? Great early run for Trammell may be his early speed work for the indoor season is still hanging around. Is this Doucouré opening race?
Actually Ladji was very impressive during this race. Trammell moved in the blocks during the set command and disturbed everybody. His start looked like a Flying and Ladji, 0.400 Reaction Time, though it would be called a false start. He still ran but was some 2 or 3 meters behind the pack before the first hurdle. Johnson and Arnold were obviously disturbed and probably lost focus as they hit bally many hurdles, Arnold even falling down. The gap between Doucouré and Trammell at the first hurdle was about the same as the gap on the finish line.
True, Ladji hasn't posted fast times yet, but that's the first time of his career that he competes in April.
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Obea Moores appearance in the 400m...
Completely missed it, not that 47.69 is cheery news. I imagine there's so much sludge in his system from the layoff that this 'comeback' is well nigh impossible, but I admire the attempt.
