The Gun Of Bavaria Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6622I420100703 Tired Gay succumbs to Dix in 200 meters By Gene Cherry EUGENE | Sat Jul 3, 2010 7:39pm EDT EUGENE Oregon (Reuters) - Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix edged out Tyson Gay in the former world champion's hotly-anticipated return to the 200 meters at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting on Saturday. In the 110 meters hurdles, American David Oliver recorded the fourth fastest 110 meters hurdles of all time with a 12.90 second run. Gay, who has been battling a nagging hamstring problem for seven weeks, ran his first 200 of the year in 19.76 seconds to finish just shy of Dix, who took control coming off the bend and stayed in front to win in 19.72. "It wasn't bad, but I was a little fatigued toward the end," Gay said. "I tried to stay relaxed and bring it home, but it wasn't enough." Dix, who won the 100 meters and placed second at the U.S. nationals last weekend, said his race experience had helped, "but I'm a little beat up, too." "I was a little sloppy out of the blocks, but I was able to hold on," he added. "Tyson gave me great competition." Oliver, the Olympic bronze medalist, equaled Dominique Arnold's national record with his second consecutive lifetime best. He ran 12.93 to win the U.S. championships last Sunday. Only world record holder Dayron Robles (12.87) of Cuba and China's Liu Xiang have run faster. "I didn't get a great start but I brought it home," Oliver said. The American left countryman Ryan Wilson (13.16) well behind in second spot. Jamaican Veronica Campbell-Brown, the Olympic 200 champion, surprised a talented 100 field with a personal best and season-leading 10.78 seconds to leave her thinking she might double at next year's world championships. Olympic 100 gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser trailed in 10.82, just ahead of American Carmelita Jeter (10.83). Three other season-leading marks were set. American world champion Christian Cantwell used a last-effort throw of 22.41 meters to win the shot put, and world indoor 800 meters champion Mariya Savinova of Russia clocked 1:57.56 to beat Olympic 1,500 gold medalist Nancy Langat of Kenya at the shorter distance. Sudan's Abubaker Kaki added a fifth season-leading mark when he took the infrequently run 1,000 meters in 2:13.62. Kenyan Olympic 1,500 champion Asbel Kiprop just missed another when he won the mile in 3:49.75. Olympic long jump champion Irving Saladino of Panama pulled a mild surprise as he used a wind-assisted leap of 8.46 meters to beat U.S. world gold medalist Dwight Phillips (8.41). Brazilian world indoor gold medalist Fabiana Murer also came out on top, winning the women's pole vault over Polish world champion Anna Rogowska. Both cleared 4.58 meters. U.S. world leader Jenn Shur failed to clear a height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBacker Prime Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Not really. Gay thought he had Dix licked, and Dix thought Gay sucked. But Dix got Gay in the end. Oh I see, Dix had Gay beaten off the line, and right from the start Gay was trying his hardest to get Dix from behind.

Maxman Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Could you imagine the radio broadcast of this? The gay runner jumps out. Dix is looking good right now and springs ahead. As they approach the final lap the question remains, will gay get the dix he wants? It is a photo finish. It is dix by a nose. Post race commentary: The running styles between gay and dix is amazing. Dix runs fully erect, while gay has a more colorful style about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryK Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 The sports reporter, Helen Byrne, said the story initially involved a third party, Cox...and that Gay Dix and Cox are similar and hang out together. But what their team really needs is the rookie Harry Butz. Most insiders agree Gay Dix and Cox want the young Butz, and they'd push hard to get Butz. Personally I think such a team would be bottom heavy. You might see Gay Butz or Dix Butz, but getting Harry Butz near Gay Dix and Cox will be difficult. If they do get together, who are they going to tell? One person. Gay Cox Dix and Butz are going to go to Helen Byrne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
