Tyson Gay won the battle of 100m world leaders and Blanka Vlasic cleared 2.02m to highlight the 60th Anniversary edition of the Hanzekovic Memorial in Zagreb, the final IAAF World Challenge meeting of 2010.

It was 50 years ago to the day. Queenslander Hector "Hec" Hogan and his wife Maureen were in Brisbane Hospital listening to the live radio broadcast of the final of the 100m sprint at the Rome Olympics.

Despite putting two world records under his belt in seven days, world 800m holder and Africa champion David Rudisha will skip the Commonwealth Games due in Delhi next month, citing fatigue.

Usain Bolt's life story hits the bookshops this week, but the athlete everyone is talking about right now is David Rudisha. The Kenyan improved the world 800m record twice in one week with scintillating runs in Berlin and Rieti. Aged only 21, there looks like there is more to come too.
