German indoor NC

Re: German indoor NC

Sinafan, I'm not so sure some of these performances were that surprising. I think Moguenara was defiantely heading for something good after her opening meet of over 6.6m after just two weeks training and she did say she was in the form to jump 6.8 at the nationals. Nytra has shown this potential, but perhaps 7.89 was a little more than expected. I really hope she can bring that form to Doha. Kroger needs to take fewer jumps. It may be she needs a few to get into her rhythym, but she's exhuasting herself for the big jumps. Storl and Bartels have been on fire this season. I was impressed too by Swillims 400m after his injuries. My biggest disappointment was the women's 400m with Tilger just going out too hard and the winning time being outside 54 secs!! Awful! I stil ldo not know why Hoffman is messing about with the 800!

Friedrich's first 2,06 attempt was great, it was hard to see why the bar fell, the following ones weren't equally good. But anyway Kröger managed to steal the limelight a bit from Friedrich. you could already see in Berlin that she has huge potential, but lacks the technical finesse.

After a sleepy indoor season with few highlights it was surprising to see this fireworks from Storl, Bartels, Günther, Kröger, Friedrich, Gadschiew, Hingst, Reif, Moguenara and Nytra.

Martin Gunther, the 2003 World Youth champ, set a huge PB of 2.30m to win the men's HJ. His previous best was 2.24m and his SB before today was 2.22m. In his last comp before today, he jumped 2.14m!

Friedrich missed her first 2m attempt, but fired back with a perfect 2,02 clearance, she now goes for 2,06 WL ...

Silke Spiegelburg is ill and withdrew from competition.

Hurdlers Alexander John and Helge Schwarzer both ran 7.65 in the heats, thereby meeting the qualifying standard for Doha. Same goes for Nadine Hildebrand (8.05).
