16.01.2006
Aleksey Drozdov won the Moscow Combined Events Championships ended yesterday with a World season best of 6129 points. The second result but not in the main final was achieved by Aleksandr Pogorelov — 6085 points.
The Russians’ results are the first claims for the participation at the 11th IAAF World Indoor Championships on 10-12 March in Moscow. In accordance with the WIC standards, for the combined events, eight athletes will be invited by the IAAF: the top 4 athletes in the 2006 Indoor Lists (as at February 20th 2006) and the top 4 athletes in the 2005 Outdoor Lists.
Aleksandr Pogorelov is fifth in the 2005 outdoor top list, so he must stay in the top 4 athletes list till 20th February or one of the 2005 top 4 athletes must refuse his participation.
Going by the last year’s statistics, Aleksey Drozdov’s result is enough to stay in the top 4 athletes list in this season.
