The magical seven seconds

From 1985 to 2006, the 60 metres was a fixed part of the programme at INDOOR MEETING Karlsruhe. During this time, almost everyone gave their long legs the credit for their fast race times, be it Merlene Ottey or Irina Privalova, who both became the first women in the world to run the race in under seven seconds in Madrid on the 14 February 1992. Both were also winners at the INDOOR MEETING. Ottey won in 1995 and Privalova, who had meanwhile improved the still valid world record to 6.92 seconds, claimed victory in 1996. The 7.04 seconds she ran back then are still the Meeting record. From 2010 on, a German athlete, Verena Sailer, also joined the mix. The 100-metre European champion in Barcelona in 2010 has always been at the front of the race and was only defeated by Bulgarian Ivet Lalova through a photo finish at the Meeting in 2013. Both finished the race within the same time of 7.19 seconds. In 2014, she was then able to win at the INDOOR MEETING for the first time. Verena Sailer is no longer competing, having retired in 2015. It took as many as three INDOOR MEETINGs for a German female athlete to triumph again in 2018. Following Great Britain's Dina Asher Smith (7.12 seconds in 2015), the Netherlands' Dafne Schippers (7.08 seconds in 2016), and Jamaica's Gayan Evans (7.14 seconds in 2017), this year's winner was Tatjana Pinto, with 7.10 seconds, the starting shot for a great year. In addition to her victory at the INDOOR MEETING, she also secured the title of German Indoor Champion in the 60 and 200-metre races and the bronze medal in the 4 x 100-metre relay race at the European Championships in Berlin. Last year, Ewa Swoboda won the women's race with the same time (7.10 seconds), a victory early in the year that set the tone for a successful year for her. The Polish sprinter followed up this gold medal with another at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow. In the most recent edition of women's 60 metres at last year's event, Dina Asher-Smith from Great Britain managed to clinch victory. With a time of 7.08 seconds, she edged out Orlann Ombissa-Dzangue from France (7.16 seconds).

Haile´s World

"Over 5,500 people are stomping and screaming at the top of their lungs, muffled drums are booming in a rhythm that everyone has to join in on, a fresh breeze is flowing from outside through the open roof and it's not summer and we're not in Rio at carnival. It's January, it's cold outside and it takes some imagination to explain to someone who happens to come into town why you have to open the roof of a hall. Trying to explain why the 5,500 inside make such an infernal noise is certainly not something you should do, but maybe you should try it with a name. A bit tongue-twisting, admittedly, but at least familiar to those connected with athletics and even more so to those who know that the very greatest is a little man from Ethiopia who goes by the name of Haile Gebrselassie." With these lines begins a text that appeared in SONNTAG on January 17^th, 1999 and referred to the top event at the then 15^th INDOOR MEETING KARLSRUHE. The 3000 metres with the Ethiopian running legend Haile Gebrselassie, who won this distance in the Europahalle a total of five times (1997, 1998, 1999, 2003 and 2004) and ran a world record once. Of course, the 1998 time of 7:26.15 minutes of the two-time Olympic champion over 10,000 metres is still a meeting record and the 3000 metres a legendary distance, because Dieter Baumann, who won this distance twice, also ran the European record here in 1995 at the meeting in 7:37.51 minutes. A time that is still the German indoor record. At every edition of the 3000 metres, the atmosphere in Karlsruhe is unbrokenly high. This was also the case in the new arena, where the middle-distance discipline was held in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2020. In 2021, when the event returned to the Europahalle due to the pandemic, the Kenyan Bethwell Birgen won in a personal best of 7:34.12 minutes, just like the year before. In 2022, the middle-distance runners will compete again in the athletics arena at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Centre. It will be interesting to see who will win the race then.
