preliminary rounds
5000 meters women:
Konstanze Klosterhalfen has reached the final over 5000 meters at the World Athletics Championships in Doha. The 22-year-old finished second in her lead after 15: 01.57 minutes. Monk Halves apparently ran unimpressed by the doping scandal surrounding star coach Alberto Salazar, whose Nike Oregon project to the US has been training them since last year.
"It was not that fast, in the beginning it was very slow, so you have to stay calm at some point I thought, we are still quite a lot, I had to put on a bit," said Klosterhalfen on ZDF. The defending champion and World Year Fastest Hellen Obiri (14: 52.13 / Kenya) is also in the final. Hanna Klein retired with her 15: 28.65 minutes chance.

Decathlete Niklas Kaul: So far, no optimal competition
Decathlon:
Germany's decathlon hope Niklas Kaul has to improve again for a medal on the second day. The U23 European champions put in the first five disciplines solid performances, but overall remained somewhat below its potential. With 4164 points, Kaul is at eleventh place at halftime and is currently heading for a good 8,500 points. Best placed German after the first day is Kai Kazmirek in seventh place with 4315 points.
World record holder and top favorite Kevin Mayer from France has lost track of his 9126-point mark and ranks third (4483). The 27-year-old has not played a full decathlon this year.
Canada's Olympic bronze medalist Damien Warner (29), who scored 8711 points in Götzis, is in the lead with 4513 points. Strong on the road are also Lindon Victor (Grenada) and running as a neutral athlete Russian Ilja Schkurenjow, both of which are currently aiming for about 8600 points.
