10 pm – Bolt crowns himself King of Bislett

The Women’s 5000m race was – as expected – dominated by the Kenyans who place five athletes on the first five spots. Winner was Meseret Defar with a Season’s best of 14:37.32; runner-up became Sentayehu Ejigu (14:37.50), third place went to Genzebe Dibaba (14:37.56).

Kenya’s runner dominated also the ExxonMobil Dream Mile with a one-two of Asbel Kiprop (3:50.86) and Haron Keitany (3:51.02). Ethiopian Mekonnen Gebremedhin (3:51.30) got third place.

During men’s High Jump, Kyriakos Ioannou (CYP) got first place in front of Andrey Silnov (RUS) anf Raul Spank (GER). All three athletes cleared 2.28m.

Men’s Long Jump was won by Godfrey Mokoena (RSA(8.08m) who was in the lead from the first to the last round. Morten Jensen (DEN) jumped 8,01m and was second, Louis Tsatoumas (GRE/7.96m) third.

And than it was finally the moment of “Lightnig Bolt”! When the moment of the 200m competition arrived, the rain was stillfalling.  heavily But Bolt promised what he said in the last days: “I’ve achieved nice results also under the rain!” The shot, his breakout of the starting blocks, the cheering of the crowd – all that happened just in the twinkling of an eye. Bolt was already clear in the lead when he entered the last hundred meters and he won easily in the new 2011 World Lead time of 19.86. Jaysuma Saidy Ndure (NOR) was second (20.43), mario Forsythe (JAM) third (20.49).

After his race, Bolt cheered back to the spectators, gave “High Fives” and wrote autographs despite the rain. Bolt didn’t only win the race, he made a lot of new friends in Oslo!
