Kluft, Adere shine in Paris

Sweden's Carolina Kluft and Berhane Adere of Ethiopia were in record-breaking form on the first day of the world athletics championships on Saturday but while the latter already has gold the former has a hard day ahead of her on Sunday if she is also to be crowned world champion.
While Berhane won the women's 10,000m in a championship record of 30min 04.18sec, 20-year-old Kluft set four personal bests in the heptathlon to take a lead of nearly 200 points over local heroine Eunice Barber into the decisive day.
Ecuador's Jefferson Perez was also in record-breaking form as he set a world best in the men's 20 kilometre walk but there is to be no 100,000 dollars bonus as it is only given out for a world record.
Later a man with a darker past, 27-year-old Belarussian Andrey Mikhnevich, found some form of redemption when he won the shot title 20 days after returning from a doping ban imposed after he finished 10th in the 2001 final.
Another controversial male athlete was also to the fore.
The man formerly known as Stephen Cherono, until he changed
nationality from Kenyan to Qatari and assumed the name of Saif Saaeed Shaheen with the promise of 1,000 dollars a month for life, displayed little brotherly love after his sibling Abraham finished fourth in the same heat of the 3,000 metres steeplechase.
The 30-year-old Adere beat home compatriot Worknesh Kidane while Yinglie Sun of China took bronze with both running personal bests.
Adere, who took silver in the event in the 2001 championships, seized the lead on the back straight of the final lap from Sun and quickly ensured there was no comeback from the 25-year-old Chinese woman.
Kluft looks set to become the next pin-up of world athletics after setting four personal bests in the four events of the heptathlon.
Barber's hopes of regaining the heptathlon world title she won in 1999 looked good after the morning session but by the end of the first day Kluft seemed to have the title in the bag.
Britain's Olympic champion Denise Lewis lost all chance of winning when she had a dreadful high jump but had improved from 17th to seventh by day's end.
The women's 100m looks like being as open as previously thought after all the favourites made Sunday's semifinals as reigning
champion Zhanna Block edged out home favourite Christine Arron in her quarter, though the French girl was delighted.
They were joined by the in-form Bahamian Chandra Sturrup and Kelli White of the USA as well as two evergreen veterans Gail Devers and former Jamaican turned Slovenian Merlene Ottey, though the 43-year-old gave a dismissive shake of the head as she came off.
Sturrup, a former training partner of absent star Marion Jones, was forthright about who was going to win.
Shaheen eased through his 3000m steeplechase heat and brazen as ever declared he had switched allegiance because he felt the job market was better in the Gulf state.
