N KOLAY ISTANBUL HALF-MARATHON, April 30

In windy conditions, Purity Komen was the surprise winner overtaking fellow-Kenyan and race favourite Ruth Chepngetich as she set a PB of 66:30. Course record-holder Chepngetich (who led through 5km in 15:16, 10km in 31:09) followed in second with 67:18 while Evaline Chirchir made it an all-Kenyan podium with 67:31.

“My body did not respond after the early part of the race. I don’t know why, but I assume that may be the race came a bit too soon after the Nagoya Marathon in March,“ said Chepngetich. “I have not yet decided if I will run the World Championships’ marathon or an autumn race. The big goal is the Olympic Games next year and I hope to be selected for the team.”

Purity Komen

Komen said: “This victory was unexpected. I was surprised when I suddenly saw Ruth in front of me and was then able to pass her,“ said Purity Komen. “I had hoped to achieve a 65 minutes time, but it was too windy today. I now plan to run my marathon debut next year.”

After 10 athletes passed 10km in 28:22, Daniel Ebenyo of Kenya was the men’s winner of with 59:52 from Hicham Amghar (59:58) and Haftu Teklu (60:03).

CORKY CROFOOT SHOUTOUT, Lubbock, USA, April 28-29

Taking advantage of the 3000 feet altitude, James Dadzie clocked a Ghanaian 200m record and world lead of 19.79/1.3 ahead of Courtney Lindsey (19.94) and under-20 Issam Asinga (19.97) which moved him to fifth all-time in the world junior lists.

Courtesy of a stiff 3.2m/sec tailwind, Asinga achieved a wind-assisted 9.89 for 100m which was matched by Dadzie with Briton Adam Clayton running 10.08 in fourth. The Scot’s legal best is 10.30 but a 6.63 60m during the winter suggests his 100m time is due for major revision.
