8 September 2010 - A performance which proved more nerve-wracking than any she had endured before was enough to bring Samsung Diamond League Ambassador Barbora Spotakova the Trophy she had been set on winning all season – despite the elbow injury which undermined her form in the latter part of the season. That night in Zurich was one the Olympic champion will never forget.

7 September 2010 - New Haven, USA - Sean Quigley and Magdalena Lewy Boulet took the men's and women's titles Monday (6) at the USA 20 km Championships hosted by the Stratton Faxon New Haven 20K.

5 September 2010 – Split, Croatia – Bernard Lagat made history tonight at the IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup and also added plenty of evidence to the argument that at the moment, there may not be a better tactical middle distance racer in the world.

Robert Harting may have missed out on gold at the European Championships, but a late-season peak has given him the confidence to break the magical 70 metres barrier next year.

Split, Croatia - Poster girl Blanka Vlasic’s appearance in the High Jump was expected to first pack, and then bring down, the proverbial house. Nearly 30,000 vociferous fans did turn out, and the double World champion didn’t disappoint, capping her starring role with a competition record of 2.05m in what will go down as one of the most memorable moments in IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup history.

By the time of the final event, Team Europe had already bagged the IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup team trophy, but there was no lack of competitive spirit on Team Americas’ behalf as an all-star team cruised to a Competition Record.

After David Oliver, Blanka Vlasic and Andreas Thorkildsen, World record holder David Rudisha of Kenya was yet another outstanding pre-event favourite who lived up to the fans’ expectations with a superb showing to win the men’s 800m at today’s IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup here in Split.

Andreas Thorkildsen has won it all. You name it, he’s won it. World Championships, Olympic Games, European Championships, World Cup…understandably so the season’s World leader and only man this year to break the 90-metre barrier came into the IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup as relaxed as ever.

Wallace Spearmon came into today’s IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup as the defending champion, and finished it as a two-time winner of the 200m, leading Team Americas to maximum points.

With a dominating run, Aleksandra Fedoriva of Russia led a 1-2 finish for Team Europe in the women’s 200m.

Triple Jump winner Olga Rypakova of Kazakhstan came oh so close to completing an unprecedented double at the IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup as the Asian record holder found herself solidly in the lead in today’s Long Jump final when the order was reverted for the fourth and final round.
