Third Day`s Finals

Aleksey Sergeyev (at foto) produced a brilliant series in the men`s triple jump, highlighted by - not one, but two! - first-ever 17 m plus leaps (17,02 and 17,23). It was the latter effort that brought him victory. Danila Burkenya managed to conquer the 17-meter barrier in the last round (17,03), only to be edged by a centimeter a few minutes later by Victor Gushinskiy (17,04).

It was victory that Anastasiya Kapachinskaya focused on - and that she
deservedly got in 22,90 - in the women`s 200 m final. The strategy was
dictated by the absence of recovery time following last night`s semifinal
and this morning`s 100 m final (11,40).
