La pista húmeda a causa de la lluvia que cayó en la capital china impidió a [Logra Dayron Robles] atacar su récord mundial de 12.87 segundos, logrado en junio pasado en Ostrava, República Checa, sin embargo su 12.93 fue suficiente para lograr el oro.
Many-time senior representative, [Golding-Clarke] raced to a season best 7.98 seconds to win the women's 60 metres hurdles ahead of Germany's Carolyn Nytra, who did a personal best of 7.99 seconds and Kellie Wells of the United States who finished third in 8.00 seconds. The meet was highlighted by a world leading time and a meet record by the the United States' Terrence Tramell in the men's 60 metres hurdles.

[BOLT], who won three gold medals 100m (9.69) 200m (19.30) and 4x100m (37.10) all in world record times, is fancied for the award ahead of Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia, the Olympic 5,000 and 10,000 metres champion and Cuban 110m hurdles world record holder Dayron Robles, who won in Beijing. In the women's field, Ethiopia's Tirunesh Dibaba, who won the 5,000 and 10,000 double in Beijing and broke the 5,000m world record (14:11.15) earlier in the season, and Kenyan Pamela Jelimo, the Olympic 800m champion, who ran a world junior record of 1:54.01 (in Zurich in August), the fastest time in 25 years, are on the final list.
OSTRAVA, Czech Republic Cuba's Dayron Robles took the world record away from Liu Xiang, challenging the Chinese hurdler's status as prohibitive favorite going into his homeland's Olympics.

Men's 110-meter hurdles: This race showcases the current holder of the world record (Cuba's Dayron Robles, above) and the man whose mark he eclipsed (China's Liu Xiang). More intriguing, it showcases Liu himself, the reigning world and Olympic champion and the host nation's best hope for gold at the track. Shot put: There's potential for a U.S. sweep today, which gregarious, 315-pound Reese Hoffa just might celebrate with a roundoff back tuck. U.Va. grad student Adam Nelson, above, also will compete.
