The first edition of the ISTAF INDOOR in D\u00fcsseldorf produced world-class athletics in the ISS Dome. Pole vault star Armand \u201cMondo\u201c Duplantis crowned the premiere with a dominant performance, establishing a world lead and a strong meeting record of 6.01 m. Only when he tried to improve his own world record by a centimeter to 6.19 his high flying show finally came to an end. Behind the Swede Torben Blech of Germany achieved a huge personal best of 5.86. Britain\u2019s Dina Asher-Smith won the 60 m dash in 7.12 seconds while Germany\u2019s Malaika Mihambo took a very close long jump contest with 6.74 m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An unexpected duel between Germany\u2019s Torben Blech and Sweden\u2019s Armand Duplantis developed with the former improving to 5.86 m. However Duplantis was superior and once more confirmed his position as the world\u2019s number one. Securing victory with 6.01 he immediately went for 6.19 m. However the world record height was too much for today. Duplantis ran through at his first attempt and then retired. \u201eIt was a great competition. I have a special relationship to D\u00fcsseldorf, because it was here where I cleared six meters for the first time. I am not sure why, but in Germany it is always going great for me,\u201c said Armand \u201cMondo\u201c Duplantis. Second placed Torben Blech commented: \u201eIt was great. The music, the atmosphere, the performance – I was in a flow and relieved that I finally was able to show what I am capable of. I always like being in D\u00fcsseldorf. And now I am really looking forward to the ISTAF INDOOR in Berlin on Friday.\u201c<\/p>\n

Dina Asher-Smith fastest woman at the ISTAF INDOOR in D\u00fcsseldorf<\/strong><\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s Dina Asher-Smith took the 60 m premiere in D\u00fcsseldorf in 7.12 seconds. \u201eIt was good. I am happy to be back running again. It has been quite a long time since my last race in 2019. I am looking forward to the next ones,\u201c said Dina Asher-Smith. Germany\u2019s fourth placed Rebekka Haase, who clocked 7.24, was thrilled with the set-up in D\u00fcsseldorf\u2019s ISS DOME: \u201eThe arena is impressive. I really liked running here. I am happy with my result and look forward to Berlin,\u201c she said.<\/p>\n

Arthur Ciss\u00e9 leaves domestic sprinters behind<\/strong><\/p>\n

German sprinters were left trailing in the 60 m. Arthur Ciss\u00e9 of the Ivory Coast flew away in 6.54 seconds. \u201eIt was a fantastic start into the season for me. My race was not perfect. So I hope to run faster in five days in Berlin. It was great what organizers put together here and I would really like to experience this with spectators next year,\u201c Ciss\u00e9 said. Germany\u2019s Kevin Kranz took second in 6.61.<\/p>\n

Long jump World Champion Malaika Mihambo confirms position as favourite<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a very close affair but Malaika Mihambo took the long jump of the ISTAF INDOOR with 6.74 m in the city of sport, D\u00fcsseldorf. Khaddi Sagnia of Sweden achieved 6.74 as well but had to settle for second place since Mihambo\u2019s second best attempt was superior.\u00a0 \u201eThe ISTAF is always great, also in D\u00fcsseldorf. The music and the atmosphere was fantastic. I now have to stabilize my performance level. I am looking forward to Friday and want to jump a bit further in Berlin,\u201c said Malaika Mihambo.<\/p>\n

Photo finish in men\u2019s 60 m hurdles<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can not really get closer: Damian Czykier just edged the 60 m hurdles in a photo finish. The Pole was given an exact time of 7.64631 seconds while Aaron Mallett of the US ran 7.64639. \u201eWith the light show and the fireworks organizers of the ISTAF managed to create a great atmosphere even without spectators,\u201c said Damian Czykier.<\/p>\n

Nadine Visser takes women\u2019s hurdles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nadine Visser of the Netherlands was the fastest in the 60 m hurdles in D\u00fcsseldorf. She took the event at the ISTAF premiere in 8.00 seconds from Alina Talay. The Belorussian clocked 8.01 while the Netherlands\u2019 Zoe Sedney was third in 8.04. \u201eTo be honest I am not quite satisfied with my result. I will relax a couple of days and then hope to improve at the ISTAF INDOOR in Berlin on Friday,\u201c said Nadine Visser.<\/p>\n

\u201eFinally we had live sport back in the sports city of D\u00fcsseldorf. We saw a first edition of the ISTAF INDOOR in the ISS DOME with six top athletics events. There were close contests and a thrilling duel in the pole vault with Torben Blech and Armand \u201cMondo\u201c Duplantis. We are very happy that we were able to make possible this great sports event in cooperation with the ISTAF-Team,\u201c said Lars Wismer, the Director of Sports at D.LIVE.<\/p>\n

\u201eTo stage the ISTAF INDOOR during these difficult times was a great experience for all those involved. We have shown what a great sport athletics is. However our biggest success was that our hygiene concept worked without faults. Everyone behaved in an exemplary manner. All our 800 corona tests turned out to be negative. I thank everyone who contributed to make this ISTAF INDOOR happen,\u201c said meeting director Martin Seeber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
