MINSK, BELARUS, September 09-10—“The Match,” the first-ever outdoor clash between superpowers Europe and the United States, couldn’t quite live up to the hype in terms of having the cream of the sport and capacity crowds but if it was to be reviewed on TripAdvisor it would still probably get 5 out of 5 for service and value. The throws and jumps deservedly grabbed the headlines as Team USA, only 16 behind after the first day, collectively had a below-par Tuesday while Europe piled up the points across the final 19 events to triumph 724½–601½. Each event winner pocketed a check for €7000 (c$7,700). All-time dual-meet records were set in 8 events.
High jumper Maksim Nedasekau’s =world-leading 7-8½ (2.35) clearance gave the local fans plenty to cheer on the opening day and the high jump provided the highlight of the second day as three women went over 6-6 (1.98) or better. Ukraine’s Yulia Levchenko PRed with 6-7½ (2.02) and her compatriot Iryna Herashchenko took 2nd with 6-6 (1.98) only being allowed one attempt at 6-6¾ (2.00) owing to the meet’s vertical jump protocol limiting each jumper to just 8 attempts in total – while favored Mariya Lasitskene could also go no higher and finished 3rd, her first loss in 11 outdoor competitions this year.
The shots saw two US victories with Doha-bound Darrell Hill winning the men’s event with a season’s best of 73-4 (22.35) in the second round after he had opened with 72-7¼ (22.13) although the US quartet was missing the likes of Ryan Crouser and Joe Kovacs, the pair passing up a potentially good payday in order to fine-tune their World Champs preparations. Bouncing back from a 3-foul disappointment in the hammer, Maggie Ewen also rose to the occasion in the women’s shot with a PR 63-10½ (19.47). That solidified her hold on No. 10 on the all-time U.S. list.
Pan-Am champion Kara Winger caused something of a surprise when she launched her spear out to 212-0 (64.63) in the final round, just short of her recent season’s best in Lima, to usurp the local favorite and former European champion Tatsiana Khaladovich’s 211-4 (64.41). On the men’s side Germany’s ’17 WC gold medalist Johannes Vetter looks set to put up a good defense of his title after early season injury problems following his 295-4 (90.03) toss to go to No. 2 on this year’s world list, with Estonia’s Magnus Kirt runner-up at 291-8 (88.91). Michael Shuey PRed at a U.S.-leading 273-0 (83.21) in 4th, moving to No. 11 on the all-time U.S. list.
Another reigning world champion, Croatia’s Sandra Perković, bounced back after her Brussels DL loss and got a good discus win with 221-11 (67.65) while Russia’s Anzhelika Sidorova confirmed the impression that she’s the marginal favorite ahead of Doha by winning the vault at 15-11 (4.85).
Truthfully, the track performances didn’t compare to what was going on in the field but Kate Grace won an entertaining 1500 in a PR 4:02.49, edging in front of Shannon Osika with a furlong to go and holding the pole position all the way to the line, with the latter 2nd in 4:04.92. Ben Blankenship also had an impressive win in the 3000, attacking at the bell and holding off Spain’s Adel Mechaal down the home straight to win in 7:57.48. For the Oregon TC runner, it proved to be a profitable weekend in the Belarus capital as he also finished 3rd in the 1500 on the first day.
The question now is where next for the brainchild of the European Athletics president, Svein Arne Hansen, who remembered the famous USA-USSR duals that began in the ’50s and wanted to create an event with a similar sense of excitement and thrills? The initial plans were for it to be every four years with an American host to be found for the next edition, but Belarus president Aleksandr Lukashenko jumped the gun at the opening ceremony when he announced that Minsk could stage The Match again in ’21 and that looks the most likely scenario, especially considering logistics and money.
The latter perhaps needs to be ramped up to ensure more of the world stars are in attendance—Noah Lyles, Michael Norman, Dalilah Mohammed and Keni Harrison being just a small selection of those missing from the US side—and an appropriate spot in the calendar, remembering Oregon will stage the ’21 WC, needs to be found.
But there would be few objections from members of the American contingent for a return to Minsk.“This stadium is beautiful, it’s super-nice,” said shot winner Hill. “The only difference is we don’t get to train in stadiums like this in the US but we compete in stadiums of this size for the World Championships and Olympic Games. Stadiums like these bring out our best performances.”
