Six World-Leading Marks in Dusseldorf

Published by IAAF on January 29, 2015

Six world-leading marks were among the highlights of the 10th PSD Bank Meeting in Dusseldorf on Thursday (29), with St Kitts’ evergreen sprinter Kim Collins showing there is still plenty of zip in his legs despite near veteran status.

Collins, now 38, sped to a 60m win in 6.52 and beat Great Britain’s European 100m champion James Dasaolu, who was given the same time, while USA’s 2010 World Indoor Championships silver medallist Michael Rodgers was third in 6.58.

Collins had shown he was the man to watch with a time of 6.55 in his heat less than an hour earlier.

Kenya’s Nixson Chepseba won the 3000m in a world-leading 7:44.72, showing his strength on the final lap to hold off his compatriot Paul Kipsiele Koech, who was second in 7:45.79.

American pair Ryan Whiting and Christian Cantwell, who between them have won five of the past six world indoor shot put titles, had a duel that will be repeated again on German soil on Saturday at the IAAF Indoor Permit meeting in Karlsruhe.

 

Whiting showed that he is in good form when he sent his shot out to a world-leading 20.83m in the fourth round. All three of his valid throws were better than Cantwell’s best of 20.53m.
