Duel Ottey-Khabarova at Russian Winter
11.01.2007
The meeting management has received a confirmation of Merlene Ottey’s participation in the Russian Winter meeting on 28 January in Moscow. Merlene Ottey who was a medalist of 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow is ready to make happy Russian fans. She always is welcome at Russian meetings; furthermore Ottey is a meeting record holder in the women’s 50 meters (6.00sec).
Ottey returned to the sprint after an injury last year. One of her main rivals at the meeting will be Russia’s Irina Khabarova who met Ottey on track many times.
Their last rivalry was in the women’s 100m semifinal at the last year’s European Athletic Championships in Gothenburg. Khabarova finished second and Ottey was fifth (she needed just 0.03sec for the final).
This season, Irina Khabarova managed 7.24sec in Yekaterinburg to become a season leader. Ottey is preparing in Los Angeles and is going to go to Europe in mid-January and on 28 January in Moscow.
