Who could stop it? Who would stop it? Liu Xiang, of course. For the 12.97 seconds it took the former Olympic champion and former World record holder to establish he has a huge chance of taking a second Olympic gold medal in the 110m hHurdles in London later this year, the rain pretty much disappeared.

The same rain had persisted – sometimes in the form of drizzle, sometimes in torrential squalls – throughout the day. But not even the weather gods dared rain on Liu Xiang’s parade.

Not that any of the crowd packed into Shanghai stadium would have cared had it kept raining. Through a miserable night, they had waited patiently for the hurdles, the final event on the program.

It could have poured, it could have hailed, the wind could have blown in a typhoon – none of it mattered as long as Liu delivered the win. And he did.

China had two winners on the night, a totally expected – no, make that demanded – victory by Liu and an equally unexpected one in a loaded men’s pole vault field by Yang Yansheng.

Yang came into the meeting with a personal best of only 5.75m, one of the lowest-ranked of the field. But he cleared 5.65m on the first attempt on a miserable night to win on countback from German veteran Bjorn Otto.

It could so nearly have been three wins for China, too, Zheng Xingjuan almost pulling off another upset in the women’s High Jump, which she lost in a jump-off to World indoor champion Chaunte Lowe.

The pair both cleared 1.92m at the second attempt before failing at 1.95m to finish in a tie.

The jump-off started at that height, then moved down to 1.93m, 1.91m and 1.89m without either jumper being able to register a clearance in the driving rain.

Finally, at 1.87m, Lowe went over and when Zheng could not, the win was hers.

Liu Pretty Well Perfect

Liu’s 12.97 was his first sub-13 since 2007 and a full tenth of a second faster than his winning time in the Shanghai SDL last year.

He was off the blocks quickly and finished a metre-and-a-half clear of David Oliver (13.13) and 2011 World champion Jason Richardson (13.16). Both men ran season’s bests, Richardson saying he had made some mistakes in the second half of the race, “but I’ve never run this fast this early.”

Liu said that he had never thought of backing off, given the wet conditions.

“As I said yesterday, I decided to give my full play (i.e. effort),” said Liu. “Shanghai is my home and I love running here. I always try to deliver what I have on the day.”

Liu said that running so fast so early in the season did not make him think of regaining the World record.

“Whatever the circumstances, I never think of breaking the World record. What I care about is to keep my great form and deliver my training form into my races.”

Dibaba the younger and Gebrhiwet lead new Ethiopian generation

Any other country, any other night, any other meeting, Genzebe Dibaba would have taken the headlines with her Ethiopian record 3:57.77 performance in the women’s 1500m.

This night, however, she had to be content with second billing, but with her 18-year-old countryman, Hagos Gebhriwet, plus the performance at women’s 800m in Doha last week by Fantu Magiso (19) and in Daegu by Mohammed Aman (18), the 21-year-old sister of Tirunesh is clearly in the vanguard of the next generation of Ethiopian champions.

Dibaba showed her talent at 1500m with her win in the World indoor championships in Istanbul and here she followed the pace through 800 metres in 2:08 before powering on to her national record. Not that far behind her was 21-year-old teammate Abeba Aregawi in 3:59.23.

Eunice Sum of Kenya, who had set a brief world lead at 4:05.99 in Daegu, was 0.09 seconds quicker than that only to find herself some 50 metres back in seventh place.

The men’s 5000m was run in quite the worst of the conditions, with the pace progressively slowing as the runners splashed their way around the track.

In the end, though, it was Gebrhiwet who had the most powerful finish, a 54.35 final lap taking him to victory over Thomas Longosiwa, 13:11.00 to 13:11.73.

John Kipkoech was third in 13:12.66 with big names Kenenisa Bekele (fifth in 13:13.89) and Augustine Choge (seventh, 13:15.50) buried back in the pack.

Campbell-Brown again prevails over stumbling Jeter

Headlining the sprints was the meeting over 200m between Daegu 2011 100m champion, Carmelita Jeter, and 200m champion Veronica Cambell-Brown.

This was another race run in the heaviest of the night’s rain. Wet or dry, however, the result was the same as in Daegu last year, Campbell-Brown holding off Jeter, 22.50 to 22.62. Jeter stumbled a few steps short of the line appearing to injure herself, but she walked through the athletes-media mixed zone without a noticeable limp.

The wind in the women’s 200m was officially +2.8, but it can’t have been much help in the wind and rain.

Asafa Powell won the men’s 100 in 10.02, comfortably clear of Michael Rodgers (10.08) and Nesta Carter (10.16) and there was a third Jamaican sprint victory in the women’s 400 when world leader Novlene Williams-Mills finished over the top of World champion Amantle Montsho, 50.00 to 50.83.

Perkovic NR and Idowu’s series highlight field action

Croatia’s Sandra Perkovic loves Shanghai – she won here last year, too. But her 2012 victory was the more memorable for bringing a national record 68.24m on the final throw.

Perkovic would have won with her third round 64.89m, but her final effort was just 65 centimetres short of the world lead of 68.89m by Nadine Muller of Germany.

“It was perfect. Last year I was first and I threw 65 and this year I am again first and I threw 68. I like Shanghai. The weather was a problem in the beginning, but at my last attempt there was no rain.”

Beijing 2008 champion Stephanie Brown-Trafton of the U.S. took second with 64.20m with Berlin 2009 World champion Dani Samuels equalling her season’s best of 62.34m in third.

Phillips Idowu did his prospects of winning gold at his home Olympics no harm with an outstanding series, given the conditions, to win the men’s Triple Jump.

Idowu went 17.00m, 17.24m, 17.09m, 17.13m, 16.96m and a pass to defeat the only other man over 17 metres, Istanbul 2012 World indoor champion Will Claye, who reached 17.12m. Daegu 2011 World champion Christian Taylor was third with 16.96m.

Reese Hoffa left it until his last throw – a 20.98m effort – to take the lead in the men’s Shot Put, narrowly beating Dylan Armstrong (20.93m) who had led from the first round.

Janay DeLoach likewise left it late in the women’s Long Jump, her 6.73m final effort taking her from seventh to first and pushing Blessing Okagbare back to second place with 6.64m.

Milcah Chemos won the women’s 3000m Steeplechase in 9:15.81, Leonard Kosencha took the men’s 800m – run in possibly the worst rain of the night – in a slow 1:46.04, and Vitezslav Vesely was commendably close to his best to win the javelin with 85.40m, ahead of such luminaries as Matthias De Zordo, Andreas Thorkildsen and Tero Pitkamaki.

Len Johnson for the IAAF

Brazilians Maurren Maggi and Fabiana Murer appear to be the top names of the event that will take place at the venue of the 2016 Olympic Games: the “Estádio João Havelange”, also known as “Engenhão”.

For the 35 year-old Maggi, the 2008 Olympic champion at Long Jump, the event will be a chance to extend her good momentum coming on the heels of her 6.85m season’s best at the São Paulo meet on 16 May. “I had a perfect jump under cold conditions. I’m hoping to do even better in Rio,” said the South American record holder at 7.26m (1999).

The veteran from São Carlos will face strong opposition in her compatriot Keila Costa (6.68m in São Paulo, as well) and in American Brianna Glenn (6.50m in 2012). Costa needs to jump 6.75m in order to qualify for the London Olympic Games. The 29-year-old Brazilian holds a personal best of 6.88m (2007), while Glenn’s best is 6.87m (2011).

Murer, the other star of Brazilian Athletics, is also looking forward to Rio, but in contrast to Maggi, Murer needs to erase the doubts created from her bad day at the São Paulo meet.

The 2011 World Pole Vault champion was defeated in her season’s debut (16 May) by Cuban Yarisley Silva 4.65m to 4.50m.

Now it’s time for Murer to amend her poor performance from Wednesday, and to send a strong message to her toughest competitors, such as the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Champion, Russia’s Elena Isinbayeva.

Murer (31) is the South American record holder with 4.85m; Silva (24) is the Cuban record holder with 4.75m.

The men’s Triple jump competition also has great potential. Twenty-two year-old Cuban Osviel Hernández, the 2012 world list leader with 17.49m (Havana, 3 February), will face the number two in the lists, 20-year-old Brazilian Jonathan Henrique Silva. The latest exponent from the rich Brazilian Triple Jump school has jumped 17.39m (São Paulo, 31 March).

Both of them come from disappointing results on the Tour. Hernández was third in Uberlândia (16.34m) and second in São Paulo (16.31m), while Silva won in São Paulo (16.41m) and was fourth in Uberlândia (16.24m). Cuban Alexis Copello, the winner from Uberlândia (16.63m SB) and seventh at the 2012 World Indoor Championships, will also jump in Rio along with compatriot Yoandri Betanzos (two-times World Championships silver medalist in 2003-05) and Brazilian Jadel Gregório (World Championships silver medalist in 2007 and South American record holder with 17.90m from 2007).

Another highlight for Sunday will be both the Hammer Throw contests which are also part of the IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge.

In the men’s event American Kibwe Johnson, the 2011 Pan-American Games Champion (and fifth in last year’s world lists with 80.31m) will encounter Tajikistan’s Dilshod Nazarov, tenth in Daegu 2011 and winner of the São Paulo GP with 76.61m. The women’s field will be lead by German Kathrin Klaas, a finalist from the past two World Championships who has thrown 75.31m this season. She will be up against American Jessica Cosby (73.71m in 2012), Argentina’s Jennifer Dahlgren (72.79m in 2012) and Moldova’s Marina Marghieva (71.75m in 2012).

The men’s 100m will also bring an interesting battle. Trinidad and Tobago’s Marc Burns won the distance in São Paulo and will face the winner from Uberlândia and Belém, his compatriot Emmanuel Callender. Burns has run 10.08 this season, and Callender 10.16. Both were members of Trinidad and Tobago’s 4x100m Relay quartet that won the silver medal in Beijing 2008.

The event will also represent a great opportunity for many Brazilian and South American athletes to reach qualifying standards for London 2012.

Eduardo Biscayart for the IAAF

Powell has run under 10 seconds for the premier track sprint more times than any man in history. He has a margin of over 20, and still counting, over the next most prolific in that regard, Maurice Greene.

But Greene is just one of many sprinters over the Powell era who has the one thing Powell still lacks – a gold medal in a major world title.

On the eve of the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix, the second in the 14-meet Samsung Diamond League series, the Jamaican is confident he has the right stuff to rectify his glaring career deficiency.

“I know for sure if I go out and do what I’m supposed to do, I will be very hard to beat,” said Powell of his London chances.

Powell one of several with points to prove

Powell lost to Justin Gatlin in the first leg of the Samsung Diamond League in Doha a week ago. In a race all too familiar to Powell-watchers, he led all the way only to be caught by Gatlin on the line for a 9.87 to 9.88 loss.

Gatlin won again at the IAAF World Challenge meeting in Daegu on Wednesday, but he is not in the field in Shanghai where Powell’s opposition is headed by Michael Rodgers, Daegu 2011 World championships bronze medallist Kim Collins and Michael Frater.

Chinese eyes will be diverted from Xiang Liu for a moment as they watch Bingtian Su, winner in the Kawaskai World Challenge stop in a wind-assisted 10.04 earlier this month. Su is aiming to become the first Chinese athlete to break 10 seconds for 100m and believes he can do it soon.

Several other recent World and Olympic champions find themselves in the same position as Powell, that is, of trying to prove they are not spent forces. Their Shanghai performances will be one of the most interesting aspects of the meeting.

Topping the list, at 6.06 metres above ground level, is reigning Olympic and 2009 World champion in the Pole Vault, Steve Hooker.

Injury reduced Hooker from the invincible force which had conquered Beijing 2008, Berlin 2009, Doha 2010 and the Continental Cup 2010 to the man who could barely clear a height just a few short months ago.

Now, Hooker believes he is back again. After rebuilding his jumping almost literally step-by-step, he cleared 5.72m last week to ensure his selection to defend the Olympic title. The jump was done in his special-purpose indoor training centre in Perth so the Diamond League atmosphere in Shanghai will represent a big step up in competitive pressure.

Also in the vault field is Brad Walker, the Osaka 2007 World champion whose problems started in the same place Hooker’s glory run began, at the Beijing Olympic Games, where Walker failed in qualifying. Walker is a little more advanced in his comeback, having taken the silver medal at the Istanbul 2012 World Indoor Championships.

Heading the competition facing the two returnees are German duo Malte Mohr and Bjorn Otto, Beijing bronze medallist Denys Yurchenko and Greece’s Konstantinos Filippidis.

Kenenisa Bekele is the most decorated of the something-to-prove crowd, having won the 5000/10,000m double at both Beijing 2008 and Berlin 2009. After a so-so race over 3000m in Doha a week ago, he will line up in the 5000m against the winner of the Doha race, Augustine Choge, Yenew Alamirew and a host of other top African runners.

Stephanie Brown-Trafton won the Olympic gold medal in Beijing but has not done much in women’s discus since. She recently improved her personal best to 67.74m and comes into Shanghai on an upward curve. So, too, does Dani Samuels, who is showing encouraging signs of a return to something like the form which made her the youngest-ever World champion in the event in Berlin in 2009.

Kiprop drops down to 800

Olympic and world champion at 1500m, Asbel Kiprop, drops down in distance to contest the 800m. A 1:43.15 personal best suggests he will be pretty competitive, too, especially as the 2012 world leaders David Rudisha (1:43.10 in Doha) and Mohammed Aman (1:43.51 in Daegu) are both absent.

Kenyan Leonard Kirwa Kosencha, who beat Aman to win last year’s World Youth Championship and was second to him in Daegu, and former World champion Alfred Kirwa Yego are in the field, however.

World Indoor champion Genzebe Dibaba heads the women’s 1500m field on reputation, though not yet on time. The latter accolade rests with Eunice Jepkoech Sum after she narrowly defeated Meskerem Assefa and Kaila McKnight in Daegu on Wednesday. So there will be plenty of competition in this event.

The 3000m Steeplechase also makes its 2012 Samsung Diamond League debut with Milcah Chemos, twice a World championships bronze medallist, heading the line-up.

Jeter v Campbell-Brown at 200, plus Liu Xiang v the World

US sprinters made a statement of intent in Doha, with Allyson Felix and Gatlin (both in the 100) and Walter Dix (200) all savouring wins over Jamaican rivals.

Jeter gets a chance to make an even more emphatic statement here when she fronts up to Veroncia Campbell-Brown in the 200m. Jeter holds the world lead at 22.31 but that means little in a race between these two. Campbell-Brown’s 10.94 behind Felix indicates she is in decent form.

In the 400m, World champion Amantle Montsho goes up against 2012 world leader Novlene Williams-Mills, Debbie Dunn, Francena McCoroy and Shericka Williams.

In the men’s 400m Hurdles, 2012 world lead Bershawn Jackson will get a test of his form against Angelo Taylor (sub-45 for the flat 400 in Doha), LJ van Zyl and Isa Phillips.

There is also another sprint event, the men’s 110m Hurdles in which one Xiang Liu goes up against World champion Jason Richardson, World indoor champion Aries Merritt and U.S. record holder David Oliver.

Throws and jumps complete the feast

Ryan Whiting memorably threw 21.97m to take the gold medal at the Istanbul 2012 World indoor championships. He will be tested if he is to maintain his supremacy in Shanghai, however, as his opposition includes former World champions Reese Hoffa and Christian Cantwell, Dylan Armstrong and Adam Nelson.

Daegu 2011 World champion Mattias de Zordo threw only 79.39m on his return to the scene this week. He will need something better to be competitive with dual Olympic champion Andreas Thorkildsen and the like in the men’s Javelin Throw.

The men’s Triple Jump is headed by Daegu 2011 medallists Christian Taylor, Phillips Idowu and Will Claye and also in-form Henry Frayne of Australia.

Chaunte Lowe, the only woman in the field to have cleared two metres this year, headlines the women’s High Jump while Daegu 2011 silver medallist Janay DeLoach stands out in the women’s long jump.

Len Johnson for the IAAF

May 9, 2012: Procter & Gamble division Gillette this week will unveil a pair of TV commercials, each with a member of Team USA scheduled to compete in the 2012 Olympics.

The spots feature track and field star Tyson Gay and swimmer Ryan Lochte, respectively, who are part of a group of 24 athletes from 18 countries who will represent the male grooming brand at the Summer Games in London.

Gay and Lochte are the only athletes from the U.S, on the Gillette roster, which also includes tennis icon Roger Federer (Switzerland), NBA star Manu Ginobili (Argentina), badminton great and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Lin Dan (China) and premiere cyclist and three-time 2008 gold medal winner Sir Chris Hoy (Great Britain).

Gay’s commercial, “Mind Games,” and Lochte’s spot are the first salvos in Gillette’s Olympic umbrella campaign, which in turn is part of P&G’s support of the 2012 Olympics that encompasses more than a dozen brands, such as Tide, CoverGirl, Duracell, Head & Shoulders, Bounty and Pantene.

In “Mind Games,” we follow Gay as he prepares for a 100-meter event, in which he will compete in London. “You get in the zone long before the race,” states a voiceover. “Get your head right, in focus. On race day, you don’t leave anything to chance.”

As Gay and the other athletes take off from their starting blocks, the scene cuts to a bathroom, where Gay is shaving with a limited-edition gold handle Gillette Fusion ProGlide.

“Get set every morning with Gillette Fusion ProGlide,” the voiceover continues. As Gay crosses the finish line ahead of the competition, we are told, “Great starts begin with Gillette Fusion ProGlide.” (See the full spot here.)

Gillette will support with print, Internet and dedicated social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Gillette’s lead agency is BBDO, New York.

Gay competed in the 2008 Olympics but failed to medal due in part to a hamstring injury. He has won numerous gold medals in world championship, world cup and world athletics events.

Lochte won two golds and two bronze medals in Beijing (but was overshadowed by the eight gold medal performance of teammate Michael Phelps).

P&G has been aligned with the Olympics for about 75 years. The consumer products company is now entering it’s first Summer Games as an official top tier global partner with the International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic Committee and second overall following the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. The company’s current deal with the IOC runs through the 2020 Olympics.

“We think Gillette’s program is the perfect start to P&G’s Olympic Games program,” Marc Pritchard, P&G global marketing and brand building officer, said in January when the Gillette roster of athletes was unveiled “[Among] them, these athletes have earned 18 world records and 55 world championships and they embody the commitment to excellence that inspires us as a company.”

“These athletes have earned 18 world records and 55 world championships and they embody the commitment to excellence that inspires us as a company.”

According to GIllette, Gay, Lochte and the other athletes “exemplify [the brand's] conviction that in athletics, and in life, a great start can make all the difference” and that the key to success in many sports “can be linked to proper preparation and an athlete’s action in the first milliseconds, not necessarily the final moments of the contest.”

Gillette said it intends to inspire future generations of Olympians by “telling powerful, personal stories that illustrate the importance of a great start from the athletes’ perspective.”

The men’s grooming division also said it wants to “reinforce Gillette’s role in helping more than 800 million men around the world begin their day with a close, comfortable shave, a key part of their grooming ritual that helps them give them a great start to their day so they can look, feel and be their best.”

Ohuruogu’s key target will be 2009 World champion Sanya Richards-Ross, who claimed the World Indoor title in Istanbul in March. The field also includes solid European opposition with Czech 2011 European Indoor champion Denisa Rosolova (50.84), Italian record holder Libania Grenot (50.30), former European sprint champion Muriel Hurtis of France who switched to the 400m (51.41), another Briton Shana Cox (50.84), and Ukrainian Barcelona 6th placer Antonina Yefremova (50.69).

Russian Tatyana Lysenko, the 2011 World champion, has been added to the already strong women’s Hammer Throw field which boasts both Betty Heidler and Anita Wlodarczyk, the current and past World record holders, respectively, and both former World champions.

In the women’s 100m Hurdles, where organizers are hoping for an assault on one of the meetings oldest records – 12.65 from 1980 – the newest names are 2011 European indoor champion Carolin Nytra of Germany, UK record holder Tiffany Porter, and this year’s US indoor champion Kristi Castlin. Kellie Wells, Priscilla Lopes-Schliep and Lolo Jones, who’ll be making her season debut, have been previously announced.

A special addition to this year’s meet will be men’s 4x100m Relay with South Africa, Canada, Poland and home team Czech Republic taking part. There may also be a Jamaican foursome and an all-star team added as well. For national teams the opportunity provides a good possibility to achieve quality times for olympic qualification.

Organisers for the IAAF

The men’s 400m headlines Kirani James of Grenada, who won the World title in Daegu last year as an 18-year-old. James has already made a path of gold: 2009 World Youth gold, 2010 World Junior gold, 2011 World Championships gold. An Olympic gold in London would make him the first teenager to accomplish such a feat since Steve Lewis of the U.S. in 1988. In Daegu yesterday (16), he affirmed his fitness with a nearly one-second win in 44.72 over an international field.

At Pre, James will contend with four other Olympic or World championships gold medallists, led by the reigning Olympic champion, LaShawn Merritt of the U.S. Merritt and James waged a memorable duel last year at the World Championships, with James better by just 0.03. Merritt, also the 2009 World champion, seeks to reclaim the top spot.

American Jeremy Wariner, 2004 Olympic gold medallist, had an “off” year in 2011 but has more gold than anyone in the field.

The Pre 400 field isn’t nearly finished. Completing the sweep of medallists from last year’s World Championships is Kevin Borlée of Belgium, who took bronze. He is also the reigning European champion.

American Angelo Taylor has beaucoup gold, two in the 400m Hurdles at the 2000 and 2008 Olympics. As outstanding as he has been in the Hurdles, he has quite a resume in the 400m and is the defending Prefontaine Classic 400 champion.

Christopher Brown of The Bahamas is another gold medallist confirmed. He is a three-time Olympic veteran and the 2010 World Indoor champion. Bahamian countrymate Demetrius Pinder, silver medallist at this year’s World Indoor Championships, will join him. Brown and Pinder aim to mount a charge to challenge the U.S. in the 4x400m Relay in London.

Montsho and Richards-Ross to square off

Returning to Eugene will be the top-rated women’s 400m runner in the world, Amantle Montsho of Botswana. Montsho won the gold medal at last year’s World Championships in Daegu after a series of years knocking on the door and not giving up. The gold in Daegu was her first, and still only, global medal at any level and her best is 49.56 from last year.

But Montsho has many of the world’s very best looking to move ahead. Prime among them is American Sanya Richards-Ross, the 2009 World champion. Richards-Ross, among those vanquished in Daegu by Montsho last year, is looking to return to No. 1 form. She proved she is once again healthy by winning World Indoor Championships gold in Istanbul in March. Her PB is 48.60 from 2006.

Another of the world’s best, Anastastiya Kapachinskaya of Russia, will challenge the field. She’s the bronze medalist at last year’s World Championships and posted a 49.35 PB in 2011.

Jamaica’s Novlene Williams-Mills set off a sound-alarm in early May when she defeated Richards-Ross at the Jamaica Invitational in 49.99, not far off her best of 49.63 from 2006. She has eight Olympic or World Championships medals, but none gold – she aims to change that statistic.

Fueling the U.S.-Jamaica rivalry is Shericka Williams, the 2008 Olympic and 2009 World Championships silver medallist, with a 49.32 career best from 2009.

American Debbie Dunn (49.64) and compatriot Natasha Hastings (49.84) round out the field, meaning every entry so far has broken 50 seconds in her career!
