Athletes’ Quotes:
Koji Murofushi, Hammer Challenge winner:
Jamaica’s Dwight Thomas won the 110mh Boris Hanzekovic Memorial Race. Excellent in the Diamond League this season, a great one, who bested the best David Oliver, proved his value. With 13.40 he came close to his season’s best by 12 hundredths of a second and he bested US hurdler Joel Brown, who had been better than him this season. Jurica Grabusic ran 13.88, 20 hundredths of a second short of his season’s best. Let us mention that the meeting record is 12.98, set by US hurdler Mark Crear back in 1999. Thomas – another big name on the list of Zagreb winners. (more…)
