The roaring sound shook the sky and the stadium was filled at the ‘Colorful Daegu Pre-Championship Meet 2008’, Sept. 25 at Daegu Stadium, as Korean Augmentation to the United States Army and U.S Soldiers from the 19th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) traveled to the stadium to watch and enjoy the huge event.
200 participants from 32 countries participated in the meet. Star athletes from the Beijing Olympics and other world-class competitions gave high-quality performances. Lauryn Williams, fourth place finisher in the women’s 100 meter sprints at Beijing, won the women’s 100 over Torri Edwards. Wilfred Bungei, Beijing Olympics gold medalist from Kenya, won the men’s 800 meter sprints. Tatyana Lebedeva, Beijing long jump silver medalist, won her event with a record jump of 6.65 meters.

The climax of the event was definitely the appearance of Yelena Ishinbayeva, the women’s Olympic pole vault champion and world record holder. Her efforts seemed relatively flat compared to her world record of 5.05 meters, and she called it a day with her winning attempt of 4.60 meters.
