New York’s Anselm LeBourne shadowed Great Britain’s Steven Smith at the Radiomaki (radio mast) track for all but 210 meters of their M50 1500 final track at Lahti worlds Then he kicked like crazy, winning by about 40 meters. Check out this video, one of dozens likely to appear in places like Flotrack and YouTube in coming days. One is already a classic — an impressionistic montage of action and reaction shots at the main Lahti stadium. Super-professionally done, it can be seen here. Featuring a jazzy French singer as background, it includes brief looks at Becky Sisley in the javelin, Charmaine Roberts and Renee Henderson among several Americans in the sprints, the 101-year-old Austrian thrower — and moi at the finish line, hat on backwards.

What a great piece of video. Really captures the atmosphere of the main stadium in Lahti. All shot on Monday 3 August, as far as I can tell. Hope there will be more like it.
More videos (including hurdle races) are posted here:

Thanks to Lahti javelin champ Linda Cohn for the link and the camera work!
Give each clip a chance to download.
Thanks for the compliments for my video. Yes, it was all shot on Monday the 3 August. It was a real pleasure to shoot in the stadium! I have so much of great videomaterial, but the french song is too short for it 🙂
I shot a documentation about the 10000 meter run of my father on Tuesday, and this clip in the main stadium is a short part of it…
Enjoy and keep on running
Greetings from Germany
