ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Ashton Eaton set his third heptathlon world record in as many years to win gold Saturday at the world indoor championships, and Justin Gatlin highlighted an all-American day by taking the 60-meter dash. Eaton dominated the two-day competition from start to finish and capped it with an overwhelming 1,000 metres in the concluding event to break the record he set last year with a total of 6,645 points. The old mark was 6,568 points. Eaton led throughout the seven-event discipline. From early on, he was ahead of record pace, too. "I was good, fit and healthy, and if all things went well I knew I would be able to do it," said Eaton, who will likely be competing for decathlon gold at the London Olympics in August. "If I keep training, the way I am making improvements it should be a good outdoor season." Eaton raced into the lead when the competition began Friday, setting a personal best of 8.16 metres in the long jump. He also won the 60 metres, 60-meter hurdles and the pole vault, making up for third-place finishes in the shot put and high jump. And there was no stopping him in the 1,000 as he knew another world record was on the line. "Every 200 metres, I would look at the clock and I was thinking, Geez, Im kind of falling off pace. Pick it up. Pick it up. Its hard when youre running by yourself," Eaton said. "You dont have that person to chase. But I was chasing a record." Despite his record-setting form, it was his first world title. "I will now be preparing for the Olympic trials, which you know are very competitive in the U.S.," Eaton said. On Friday, Nataliya Dobrynska of Ukraine set a world record in the pentathlon, turning the multi-events into a heavy draw on the purse of the organizers as each won $90,000 for the gold and the record. Gatlin struck his first gold since serving a four-year doping suspension by coming back on Nesta Carter to win the 60 in 6.46 seconds -- .08 seconds better than his Jamaican rival. Defending champion Dwain Chambers of Britain took bronze. "It feels like I am reborn again," Gatlin said, insisting he would be gunning for the Olympics at age 30, eight years after winning the Olympic 100 title at the Athens Games. Much like his return from suspension, his final was also a fightback from behind as Caster seemed poised for gold with a lightning start. "I just went and grabbed him and passed him," Gatlin said. Sanya Richards-Ross added another gold for the United States on Saturday, running from the front in the 400 to win in 50.79, and holding off Russian rival Aleksandra Fedoriva by a massive .97 seconds. "Im happy that I came out and took the lead early," said Richards-Ross, who avoided all the hustle when the runners bunch up halfway through the race by running in front. And Chaunte Lowe, a mother of two, made it even better for the Americans by taking the high jump over outdoor champion Anna Chicherova, another mother. Genzebe Dibaba added to her Ethiopian family dynasty by winning the 1,500 title at 21, adding more medals to a sisterhood which also includes two-time Olympic gold medallist Tirunesh Dibaba and 2004 Olympic 10,000 silver medallist Ejegayehu Dibaba. "This is the first major victory of my career," Dibaba said. "It was tough but I am happy to start the Olympic year with this world title. Dibaba ran with the poise and tactics of a veteran and sheer speed of a youngster to finish in 4:05.78, two seconds ahead of Mariem Alaoui Selsouli of Morocco. Abdalaati Iguider did one better for Morocco in the mens 1,500, sweeping past Ilham Tanui Ozbilen of Turkey in the final meters to deny the cheering crowds of a hometown win. Three months after breaking his left hand, Renaud Lavillenie of France won the pole vault with a world leading jump of 5.95 metres, and Valerie Adams of New Zealand the womens shot put. Britain got its first gold from 39-year-old Yamile Aldama, a Cuban-born triple jumper who also competed for Sudan before gaining British citizenship two years ago. She had a seasons best 14.82 metres to beat defending champion Olga Rypakova of Kazakhstan by 19 centimetres. "Better late than never," Aldama said. "This is my first world title." Ja...

He left his seat five minutes before time. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
