area champion (+update)

A medalha de ouro mais sofrida, porém, foi alcançado por Luiz Alberto Araújo no decatlo. Com o título sul-americano praticamente garantido, ele entrou nos 1.500 m, a última das dez provas das combinadas, para correr em menos de 4:26 e assim tentar o índice B para o Mundial. Apesar de todo o esforço - e ajudado pelo companheiro Anderson Estevão Venâncio, que puxou os 1.500 m -, Luiz não conseguiu. Ele ganhou o ouro, com 7.944 pontos, seguido do argentino Román Castaldi (7.545) e do venezuelano Georni Gregório (7.051).

On a cold but sunny second day in the SAC, the best performance was produced by Brazilian Luíz Alberto de Araújo (BM&F Bovespa, Sao Paulo), who won the Decathlon with a PB and Championship record of 7944 points. De Araújo, a finalist in the 2006 World Junior Championships, winner of the “2010 Campeonato Iberoamericano” and the first winner from South America in an IAAF Multi Event Challenge namely Deszenzano Multistars 2011, built further on his personal best first day with strong second day results a PB in the Discus Throw (45.97m)and descent pole vaulting (4m60cm).
His 7944 mark moved him to the fourth place on the South American all-time lists and got him closer to second place on the Brazilian all time ranking.

Dat eerste bericht staat te lezen op de site van de federatie. Een overzicht ontbreekt van de onderdelen. Jammer. Dan maar zo: 10.84/7.15/14/14/197/4908//14.52/45.97.4.60/52.85/4.35.31= 7944 (1)
Mooie prestatie met uiteindelijk slechts iets te kort voor de magische grens van 8000. Maar die gaat geslecht worden. Vorige week nog heel veel op hem ingepraat en bijgestuurd via de coach; mooi resultaat.
Nu nog kijken of we het voor elkaar krijgen dat hij in Daegue meedoet.....
