Yamauchi's road to London begins in New York
After finishing second at the 2009 London Marathon, Mara Yamauchi suffered a foot injury that sidelined her the remainder of the year. Now healthy and eying a win in London next month, she will tune up at the New York City Half-Marathon. Read about her aspirations for this weekend and beyond, then watch the race LIVE Sunday on US TV and online at 7:30 a.m. ET.
Vlašić succeeds amid great expectations
These days, Blanka Vlasic can't seem to avoid questions about world records. But the Croatian manages the extraordinary expectations better than almost any athlete on the professional track and field circuit. It is that ability, on top of her myriad physical gifts, that have made her the greatest high jumper in the world, and could eventually lead to greater heights.
Masterful Lagat wins 3000m gold in Doha
No American runner has mastered the art of winning quite like Bernard Lagat. In Doha, the 35-year-old won the 3000m at the World Indoor Championships, becoming the first U.S. champion in the event and the oldest man ever to win gold at the meet. In the process, he also served as a role model for young teammate Galen Rupp, who finished fifth in a personal-best time.
Another Worlds of failure for Isinbayeva
For the second straight time at a global competition, Yelena Isinbayeva failed to win a medal of any color. With the Russian not a factor, Fabiana Murer won the women's pole vault, earning Brazil's first gold medal in 23 years at the World Indoor Championships. Afterward, Isinbayeva was at a loss for what has gone wrong and appears to be in crisis mode.
