Les principaux résultats
* Saut à la perche : Record du monde, 6.24m, pour le phénomène Armand Duplantis (voir ICI)
I feel very good. It's my first time ever to be in China, and I win as well as I could have imagined. Amazing stadium, amazing crowd, great energy and great weather. In the beginning we were a little bit worried about the rain, and then it stoped and everything worked out.
This result is more than what I wanted it to be, so I was very excited about it. You know this my first time to jump in China. You always get a bit nervous when you jump in front of a new crowd, because it's people that haven't seen you do what you can do. So I really want to show the people here.
They are trying to have something extra special becuase they've never seen me jump in person. So I wanted to make sure to show them something in the pool. Fact that I was able to do that. I got used to pressure.
I know that every competition I go to, there's gonna be very high expecatations and everybody's gonna be expecting. I think that myself too. I expect a lot of things out of myself. I want to have high all the time and I want to keep jumping high. My expectations on myself always outweigh everything else.
* 400m dames : Belle performance pour Marileidy Paulino (DOM) victorieuse en 50'08
* 100m haies : Jasmin Camacho Quinn (PUE) s'impose en 12'45, Cyrena Samba Mayela troisième en 12'55 avec record de France à la clé.
* 5000m hommes : Victoire de Lamecha Girma (ETH) avec un excellent 12'58"96
* Triple saut hommes : Pedro Pichardo (POR) bondit à 17.51m
"It was good in the beginning to the end, the atmosphere of the competition was very good. All of us tried our best.
As for Olympic games, I think that's the most important thing in everty athlete's career and we are working to see what happens."
* 800m hommes : Gros chrono pour Marco Arop (CAN) vainqueur en 1'43"61
"Tonight was great. It was great out there. The environment is awesome. The atmosphere is great. I only did a couple of indoor races to hold my body and know where we were at.
Now it is great to finally open up in the 800 outdoors and get a good idea of where I am now. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
I know I've accomplished a lot up to this point, but I'm not satisfied with everything that I've done. I still have to work even harder to get to where I want to be."
1500m dames : Gudaf Tsegay (ETH) signe tout simplement le 3e temps de l'histoire et s'impose en 3'50"30, une performance extraordinaire.
"I am very happy. I tried my best. Tha's surprising. I know I am in good shape. Next is Olympic, it's every athlete's dream."
