Carsten Schlangen is the first German Miler who ran faster than the 3:37,00 that are required to be nominated for the European Championships this year.
On June 29th he clocked a 3:36,37 to win a meeting in Metz/FRA. Schlangen stated: “After 1.000m I was alone already. The first pacemaker did a very good job but the second one was too slow so I had to pass him early already. However, one the final stretch I had a much better kick than in my last race in Wattenscheid.”
Fellow Germans Moritz Waldmann (3:41,71 min/7th), Christoph Lohse (3:43,06 min/9th) and Georg Eberhardt (3:44,29 min/10th) were further back in the field.

Steeplechaser Steffen Uliczka surprisingly ran a 8:26,44 in his first 3.000m steeple-race of the season to qualify for the European Championships in Barcelona 2010.
In the “German Meeting” event in Cottbus he took second behind Kenyan Stephen Kiprotich. the 26-year old Uliczka stated that “the race was tailored for me”.”I’m at the beginning of my first competition period and that’s why I’m pretty surprised to have the qualification in my pocket already.” The qualification standard of the German athletics federation DLV for the steeple was set at 8:28,00min.

Five weeks after she dropped out of the London Marathon, German Marathon Record holder Irina Mikitenko ran her first race in Vienna/AUT last weekend. She won the Austrian womens run over 5km. She covered the 5K in 15:39,4 min, which was only 10 seconds slower than the course record.
Mikitenko was joined by Australian Eloise Wellings (15:48,4 min) and Latvian Jeļena Prokopčuka (15:59,6 min).
For the German it was a test for the European Cup 10.000m next Saturday (June 5th) in Maseille/FRA. Mikitenko stated that: “the body is alright, I didn’t have any problems. It was a good test.” Last time she ran 5000m was some four years ago, so it was a short and fast race for her. Now she is optimistic that she can run the qualification for the European Championships in Barcelona in next weeks 10.000.

The German Marathon Championships were part of the Mainz Marathon (results published here already). Bernadette Pichlmaier (2:40:58h) repeated last years victory in the womens category, while Dennis Pyka (2:20:09h) won his first individual title.
The 41-year old Pichlmaier started the race with the qualification time (2:33h) for the European Championships) in the back of her mind. With a first half of 1:16:51h she was not too far off and still en route to a new PB (2:35:26h). However, in the second part of the race she had to decrease the pace: After 25km the cool and rainy weather hit her legs and she was concentrating on defending the national title from that point onwards. At the end Pichlmaier still had a comfortable lead over silver and bronce medalists Fakia Hofmann (2:48:23h) and Steffi Volke (2:51:49h).
Also the mens race saw a clear and unchallenged winner. 38-year old Dennis Pyka was the pre-race favorite and won the national title with a lead of around eight minutes. With his winning time of 2:20:09h Pyka was close to his PB (2:19:14h) and ran almost even splits (1:09:35+1:10:34) on a course that has two climbs on the second half. After the race the new German Champion stated that he was also effected by the wet conditions, as he already had wet shoes before the start of the marathon: “That’s the reason why I got blisters pretty fast”. Second place was taken by Bastian Krantz, husband of the elite race walker Sabine Krantz, in 2:28:08h. Philipp Nawrocki (2:28:26h) was a lucky bronce medal winner, as it was the first individual medal for the 33-year old (same goes for Bastian Krantz).

The Kenyans Samuel Kosgei and Mary Keitany wrote history in the 30th edition of the BIG 25 in Berlin. Never before a world record was set in mens and womens category in the same road race!
In the best 25K-race ever, the top athletes used the perfect weather conditions of 12-14°C with practically no winds and overcast sky.
In the mens race a big pack of around 20 athletes passed the 5K-mark in 14:29min. After that the pace remained high and the field was reduced step-by-step until kilometer 15 (43:05min). At this point the race was down to a battle between Samuel Kosgei and Gilbert Kirwa (both Kenya). At the end it was Samuel Kosgei who had the best legs and improved the previous world record (1:12:45h, Paul Kosgei in Berlin 2009) by almost one minute to 1:11:50h. Also Gilbert Kirwa broke the previous record by clocking 1:11:58h for second place. The podium was completed by Terefe Maregu (Eth) in 1:13:16h. Altogether nine athletes ran sub-1:15h.
The womens race was dominated by pre-race favorite Mary Keitany. The dominating female road racer of 2009 ran her own race and smashed the previous world record (1:22:13, Mizuki Noguchi in Berlin 2005). Led by two pacemakers she was on course for a sub-1:20h time all the way and crossed the finish line after 1:19:53h. Around five minutes later Alice Timbilili (1:24:38) and Pasalia Kipkoech (both Kenya/1:26:47) came home for 2nd and 3rd place.
Results were published already earlier here.

Sabrina Mockenhaupt and Christian Glatting took the titles in the German 10.000m Track Championships in Ohrdruf. With Filmon Ghirmai and Musa Roba-Kinkal, two more athletes cracked the qualification time for the European Championships in Barcelona this year.
mens race:
Christoph Lohse was set as a pacemaker and did a good job, leading a big pack through 3.000m in 8:39min. At this point the lead pack was already down to seven (Glatting, Roba-Kinkal, Ghirmai, Hallmann, Zelalem, Pflieger and Dutch runner Stitzinger). Just after 8K, Musa Roba-Kinkal injected a big move, that was only covered by Christian Glatting and Filmon Ghirmai. The split for 8K was far too slow for the qualification time for the European Championships (28:45 for Germans) and most coaches already thought the game would be over. However, the trio ran a phenomenal last 4 rounds, covered the last kilometer just outside 2:40min and in the last round Christian Glatting (28:40,18min) made the decisive move with 300 meters to go. Steeple specialist Filmon Ghirmai (28:41,36min) passed Musa Roba-Kinkal (28:41,90min) on the home stretch to get the silver. Roba-Kinkal also got a title as he is still U23 and won this category. Altogether eight Germans (including three U23-juniors) plus two foreigners ran sub-30min.
Now it seems there will be a good battle for the Barcelona places in the German team. Sebastian Hallmann, who took 4th in 29:09 in the race, can also run the 28:45 standard and of course the reigning European Champion Jan Fitschen, who canceled the race due to a flu, is also in the game after some good weeks of training.
womens race:
As expected Sabrina Mockenhaupt won her 26th German Championships in a solo-effort. With her time of 32:10,31min she was well below the qualification time of 32:25,00min. Second place went to Simret Restle (33:06,84min), who profited from running with Swiss athlete Martina Strähl (33:11,21min). Third place in the German Championships went to Ingalena Heuck (33:30,25min), who just won the German Halfmarathon Championships two weeks ago. The title in the U23-category was taken by Christina Kröckert (34:07,43 min).
Results were already published earlier.
Victory ceremony for the women.
Glatting (100), Roba-Kinkal (99), Ghirmai (109) and Hallmann (22) with around 700m to go. Friedrich (18) and Schuff (76) are lapped.

For the first time in the history of the RheinEnergie Bonn Marathon saw a German winner. David Karl was the first runner to cross the line after 2:28:42h. The 23-year old has a PB of 2:23:59h, from last years German Marathon Championships where he took 3rd place. In the womens category Birgit Lennartz repeated history: She already won the 1st Bonn Marathon nine years ago!
This year was the first time, race organisers in Bonn disclaimed from inviting international top athletes, so only one Kenyan participated but faltered in the late stages of the race.
The blind Paralympics-Winner and World Record holder Henry Wanyoike (KEN) completed the halfmarathon in 1:19:44h.
