Being able to host this final match is a wonderful accolade for the Channel Islands and I am confident that the men, with the help of their supporters, will be able to maintain their promotion position in the league. It would of course be nice to finish with a victory over our very strong rivals City of Glasgow, we will see.”

Guernsey athletes competing this weekend are Steve Dawes, Lee Garland, Glenn Etherington, Dale Garland, Tom Druce, Matt Loveridge, Lee Merrien, James Brehaut, Leo Rice, Nathan Stevens, Hywel Robinson, Ben Fiore, James Menhenitt and Ross Hanley.

Jersey’s athletes are Zane Duquemin, David Martin, Ross Jeffs, Jason Fox, Tom Brown, Toby Edwards, Elliott Dorey, Peter Irving, Sam Dawkins, Calum Forrest and Donnie Rockett.

Yet another mile stone by ‘Blade Runner’

Filed under: athletic gear, athletic goods, athletics equipment, athletics shop — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 1:44 am

"A world record is always a good thing to finish the season off on," Pistorius told AFP.

The 23-year-old clocked 47.04 seconds improving his global best by 0.45 seconds.

Pistorius, known as “The Blade Runner” because of the prosthetics he uses for running, set the previous record in Beijing in 2008.

Pistorius set a 46.02 personal best in Italy last month and 46.93 in the B-race in London on Friday night, both against able bodied competition.

But his performance on Saturday easily bettered his previous T44 standard as he continues to stretch the gap between himself and the rest of the world in his class.

“A world record is always a good thing to finish the season off on,” Pistorius told AFP.

“I learned a lot from Friday’s race where the rainy conditions were not what I am used to.”

World Championships 1500m semifinalist Peter van der Westhuizen, 25, fell more than 10 seconds short of his personal best in the men’s mile on Saturday to finish last in 4:05.52.

Commonwealth 400m hurdles champion LJ van Zyl was below his best on Friday when he finished, also last, in 50.64 seconds for his event. This was almost three seconds slower than his career record.

The next Diamond League meeting, the penultimate of 14 this season, will be on August 19 in Zurich.
