NIje miting ali da ubacim ovde. Na americkim kvalifikacijama za OI, Eston Iton oborio svetski rekord u desetoboju. Klej u prvoj trci sa preponama napravio gresku na devetoj i bio diskvalifikovan, zatim u disku prestupio tri puta, tako a mu ni usojena zalba za trku sa preponama nije pomogla.
The 24-year-old produced a stunning display in gruelling weather conditions at Hayward Field, Eugene, Oregon to score 9,039 points, 13 more than Roman Sebrle's 11-year-old world record.
Eaton's triumph came on the track where he trains and the support he received in the final 1,500 metres leg of the 10-event competition, had made the record so special, he said.
"That is when the crowd really lifted me," he said. "That last 600 metres I was not running with my own legs. It was incredible.
"I don't care what anyone says, there is magic here," the world silver medallist said of the University of Oregon's Hayward Field.
The sense of occasion was heightened by the presence of many of the United States' greatest decathletes, including Dan O'Brien, Bruce Jenner and Rafer Johnson, who were at the trials to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first Olympic decathlon.
Already the world indoor pentathlon record holder, many had tabbed the Oregon native to be the next holder of the decathlon record.
Eaton, himself, said he expected to become the second man to top 9,000 points in multi-event competition.
The weather provided an obstacle but Eaton won seven of the 10 events for a massive 646-point victory over world champion Trey Hardee, wiping out O'Brien's 1992 national record of 8,891 points in the process.
He had already set the best ever marks in decathlon for the 100 metres and long jump legs on Friday and capped off the competition with a gutsy 1,500 metres.
"I knew the possibilities (of the world record) after the javelin, maybe the pole vault, so I just kind of went with it," he said.
Eaton said there was more to come.
"The great thing about this is, I feel like I have not maximized yet," he said. "I am just getting going.
"I feel like I can still run faster, jump higher ... and clearly I can throw farther."
Na 100metra za zene jos se ne zna ko ce kao treca da ide na OI
100-METER DRAMA Moments after the women’s 100-meter final, Carmelita Jeter, Tianna Madison and Jeneba Tarmoh talked about having made the United States Olympic team as the top three finishers.
Allyson Felix, who was said to have finished fourth, was despondent. “Fourth is the worst,” she said. About an hour later, however, a spokeswoman for USA Track and Field said Tarmoh and Felix had finished in a dead heat for third place, both officially listed as having run a time of 11.068 seconds.
With only three spots available on the Olympic team, organization officials were in discussions as to how the tie should be broken. A USATF spokeswoman said, “We don’t have a procedure in place” and, as a result, no option has been ruled out, including a runoff.
