Zürich felt like a hangover. Ok, some good performances like Isinbayeva and Thorkildsen and a few more. But Bolt, Stewart, Frasier etc. looked tired or uninspired. With Brüssel coming up next friday and a few more meetings, I was wondering, will there be another World Record this year?
Maybe Isinbayeva can set a new WR, she seems either in shape or just pissed off coz she lost in Berlin
Maybe that loss motivated her in a good way.
I think if Usain get good conditions with warm weather etc. that he can improve record, especially if Powell can push him like he did in Zürich.
Maybe Melaine Walker can set a new WR, she was very close in Berlin, but for some reason the best times in women 400 hurdles comes in the championships !?
I don´t think the female HJ will see any WR this year. Friedrich and Blasic don´t look like WR-shape.
I think also that the men´s 3000 steeple can give us a new record. Many runner with possibilitie to go under 8:00 and with right pace in the start and many still in the run with 2 laps to go or so, then they might push each other close to the WR. I think Tahri might be the one that set the new record, he look hot now.
Other possible WR with right conditions might be set in men´s Marathon or women´s Hammer Throw.
But... to answer my own question, I think that Caster Semenya will be the next WR holder. I think if someone invite her she will set a new WR next time she run. Just give her a good pace-maker for the first 400 meter and with the right weather-conditions... Caster can crush the WR! I would not be surprised if she get under 1:50 one day, that race in Berlin was one of the most impressive performance I have seen. I hope she is not a man as some say and I don´t think she is either.
