The 2002 European Marathon Champion and Finnish marathon record holder Janne Holmen announced earlier this week that he will quit his competitive running career.
The biggest achievement of Janne Holmen was without doubt the performance in the 2002 European Championships in Munich/GER where he won the Gold medal with a time of 2:12:04h. Four years later in the European Championships in Gothenburg he placed 7th with 2:13:10h. In the IAAF World Championships 2007 Holmen became 9th in 2:19:36h. He also competed in two Olympic Games (2004: 22nd place and 2008: 19th place). Holmen set the current Finnish marathon record of 2:10:46 in the Rotterdam marathon 2008.
The 31-year old doctor of philosophy and father of two children stated that his work and family responsibilities and aims make it almost impossible to continue a professional running training and lifestyle.

Two 1500m-runners were the positive German surprise in the running events of last weekends Golden league meeting (ISTAF) in Berlin. Both Stefan Eberhardt and Carsten Schlangen set new personal bests in a race that was won with a world leading 3:29,47min by Augustine Kiprono Choge.
Stefan Eberhardt came into the race with a PB of 3:37,51 and improved to a great time of 3:33,92min (5th place in the race). With this time he went straight to 8th place in the German 1500m All-time list. At the same time it was the best performance since the era of Dieter Baumann some 12 years ago. “Right from the gun just everything was perfect” he commented the race.
For Carsten Schlangen the ISTAF was again a good place. After improving to 3:34,99min in last years race he could now cut off another 0,39 seconds to come home in 3:34,60 for 10th place overall. “The training went well and I just needed the right race to run the PB” he stated afterwards.
Both have now ran faster than the required world championship qualification mark of 3:36,20 min and are almost qualified. Wolfram Müller will for sure be motivated as well by the times of his two compatriots but still it remains to be seen if he can match those performances and qualify for the home world championships.

Britains Athletic Federation (UK Athletics) nominated 3 women for the road events of the IAAF World Championships 2009 in Berlin.
The two fastest ever female marathon runners Paula Radcliffe and Mara Yamauchi are joined by the UK’s fastest ever female walker Johanna Jackson. Officials stated, that the target is on getting individual medals and therefore no complete teams were nominated for the World Cup team competition. Another factor for the small team are the World Half Marathon Championships 2009 that will take place in Birmingham later in this year. UK Athletics wants to nominate a team for male and female events for this competition on home soil.
Radcliffe was selected based on her victory in last years New York City marathon (2:23:56). The 35-year old holds the marathon world record and won the world championships title in Helsinki 2005 and is now eager to regain the title after a recent operation on her toe.
Mara Yamauchi was 6th in last years Olympic Games and finished this years London marathon in 2nd with a PB of 2:23:12h. In the last world championships the 35-year old finished 9th in Osaka/Japan, the country where she currently resides.
The youngest member of the team will be race walker Johanna Jackson (24). Jackson holds the UK record at 20K race walking with 1:31:16h and collected Olympic experience by finishing 22nd in last years Beijing Games.

3 Germans men were present in the middle distance races of the Fanny Blankers-Koen Games in Hengelo/NED on 1st of June. Given the fact that the season is still young the performances were pretty good and raise hopes that there will be several middle distance runners in the home World Championships in Berlin.
In the 1.500m race Stefan Eberhardt clocked a 3:37,10min for 5th place in a competitive race which was won by Olympic Silver medallist Asbel Kiprop (KEN) in 3:34,45min. This time is a new personal best for the reigning German 1500m Indoor Champion. However, he just missed out the A-qualifier of 3:36,20min that was set from German Athletics Federation (DLV).
In the 800m-race the youngsters Robin Schembera (20) and Sebastian Keiner (19) represented Germany. Robin Schembera ran a PB of 1:45,63min for 6th place in his first individual race since July 2008! He only missed the A-standard (1:45,40min) by 23 hundreds of a second. Sebastian Keiner came home in 8th place with a time of 1:46,30min and missed his PB by only half a second. Both definitely have the talent to make the German team for the World Championships.
