AMSTERDAM -- Kenyan-born teenager Yasemin Can clinched a long-distance double for Turkey at the European Championships on Saturday, dominating the 5,000 meters with spectacular running from the front, much as she had done during the 10,000 three days earlier. Ricky Wagner Jersey .Can, 19, was only cleared to run for Turkey in March and made the most of this with a devastating kick after two kilometers -- and never letting up -- to win in a slow 15 minutes, 18.15 seconds, beating defending champion Meraf Bahta of Sweden by 2.39 seconds. She had won the 10,000 in much the same style.Can qualified for both Olympic events but said the daring front-running tactics would change when she faced the best in the world, mostly from her continent of birth.I am not going to run alone there. I will follow someone, Can said.It was the fourth gold for Turkey at the championships, and all won by athletes who were foreign-born. With Russia not competing because of a doping ban, the medal table was bound to look different. But few would have expected Turkey to do this well, especially after finishing the Euros two years ago with a single bronze.In the pole vault, Greeces Ekaterini Stefanidi wiped the championship record of Yelena Isinbayeva off the books by 1 centimeter, clearing 4.81 meters when gold was already assured. The Russian is still trying to make it to the Rio games under a special exemption.Anouk Vetter gave the Netherlands a third gold medal at the championships with victory in the heptathlon.Vetter dominated the two-day, seven-event competition and won with a national record of 6,626 points, breaking the old mark of heptathlete turned sprinter Dafne Schippers. Antoinette Nana Djimou of France was second.The Dutch 4x100 relay squad kept 100 champion Schippers in the hunt for a second gold when it qualified for Sundays final. Schippers skipped the first round of the relays because of a tight hamstring and is still unsure to run Sundays final. Schippers is a favorite for Olympic gold in the 200 and also stands a good chance in the 100 next month and does not want to endanger her fitness now.Can was not the only 19-year-old to win Saturday. German Max Hess did likewise in the triple jump with a Europe-leading effort of 17.20 meters. Hess already proved his credentials when he took silver at the world indoors in March.In the biggest upset of the evening, double Olympic javelin champion Barbora Spotakova failed to successfully defend her European title and finished fifth, well behind winner Tatsiana Khaladovich, who won with a Belarussian record of 66.34 meters. Teez Tabor Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. Cheap Authentic Lions Jerseys . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games. http:///...-akeem-spence-jersey . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Set The Bar High may turn out to be aptly named.Even before a winning debut at Warrnambool earlier this month connections were thinking high.Trainer Symon Wilde is already looking ahead to the South Australian Derby in the autumn but first Set The Bar High will attempt a city victory in the Planet Ruler Handicap (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday.Win, lose or draw the three-year-old is likely to be put aside after Saturday with Wilde keen to map out a Derby program..The Set The Bar High story dates back to his dam, Youthful High, who was trained by Wilde and his father Bill to win seven races for the pair after starting her career in South Australia with Tom Dabernig.We raced the mother years ago and she was a really good mare for us, Wilde said.We ended up selling her as a broodmare when her career had finished but we ended up buying a couple of the foals back which were Itz A Debacle and Set The Bar High.Some of the same owners of Youthful High have bought into this horse.It was a good little journey with Youthful High and this horse looks like hes got her ability, more so than what the older ((half) brother has. Kasey Redfern Jersey. ilde considered running Set The Bar High over 1600m at Flemington last week but reasoned an extra week would be more beneficial.He also saw enough speed in the three-year-old in his debut win to suggest Saturdays 1400m trip was ideal.But long term he has his eye on longer races as Youthful High was adept over a middle distance and was placed at 2600m at Flemington.The mare was a stayer and I reckon this bloke is similar, Wilde said.We were surprised with how much speed he showed at Warrnambool where he sat up on the pace and we thought an extra week and a fortnight between runs might suit him a bit better.Stablemate Sister Kitty Mac will try to extend her winning sequence to three when she lines up in the Isca Handicap (1100m) following victories at Dunkeld and Werribee.Shes a speedy, very quick horse and I think thats played into her hands in her two wins, Wilde said.She is talented. Not many win their maiden and then a (benchmark) 64. NFL Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
