After setting the pace on the first day, Great Britains Jessica Ennis kept her hold on first after the the long jump-the fifth event of the womens heptathlon at the London 2012 Olympic Games. . Canadian Jessica Zelinka, who entered the day third overall, fell in the overall standings, despite a season-best jump of 5.91 metres. That was only good enough for 23rd overall. That marked three straight personal best events for the London, Ont. native, after a disastrous high jump, where she cleared just 1.68m. No other woman in the top 10 after the first day did less than 1.80m. Zelinka also opened the heptathlon with a personal-best time of 12.65 seconds in the 100m hurdles. The 30-year-old Zelinka, part of the opening group in the javelin - kept herself in the medal mix with a throw on her final attempt of 45.75m. The final event in heptathlon is the 800m, which will be run in the night session. Ennis powered to a 6.48m distance in the long jump, good for second best in the event, pushing her overall score to 5159 points. Lithuanias Austra Skuyjtye is still in second. Her seventh-place finish in long jump now has her at 4901 points. Russias Tatyana Chernova, who started the day in ninth place, won the long jump and vaulted into third place with 4869 points. But the battle for bronze is still up for grabs - third to 11th place is separated by just 147 points. Canadas Brianne Theisen was in 15th place after the long jump.

Series officials announced Monday that the new Chevrolet SS, Dodge Charger, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry designs have met the necessary targets for approval based on final aerodynamic tests July 18. Manufacturers can begin making parts and pieces for the new models, which will make their racing debut at Daytona International Speedway next February. The new cars will bring a significantly different look next season as they are designed to look more like their passenger car counterparts. "We commend the manufacturers and our team at the R&D centre on all the hard work theyve put into this new car," said NASCAR vice-president of competition Robin Pemberton. "With all the designs and surface areas of the car now approved, manufacturers can now move forward with building the components needed to outfit their cars. The wind tunnel testing weve had with the manufacturers over the past several months has given us the timely and necessary data we needed to come to this confirmation. We believe the new car is going to be a milestone opportunity for our sport, one that our fans will embrace." SRT engineer Howard Comstock, who manages Dodges NASCAR program, said developing the new cars involved unprecedented collaboration. "In the beginning, we kind of approached NASCAR and saaid, it will be better for the manufacturers if we race cars that look more like the products we build," Comstock said.

"NASCAR listened to that, and the four manufacturers kind of got together and said we need to make the basic framework of what this car would look like." Ford Racing director Jamie Allison called it a "monumental moment" for NASCAR. "The fans have clamoured for the return of cars that look like cars in their driveways and NASCAR, alongside us as manufacturers, have listened to that request," Allison said. Comstock said the new cars share only 10 per cent of their body panels in common, a significant change from current Cup cars. Dodges long-term future in NASCAR has been subject to speculation after its flagship team, Penske Racing, announced it was moving to Ford next season. But the manufacturers efforts for 2013 are regarded as positive sign for its continued involvement in the sport. Will having different designs revive the once-constant lobbying from manufacturers and teams for NASCAR rules tweaks to even out competition? "I think the tools that we have today for development are so much more sophisticated than we have in the past," Comstock said. "Over this two-year process, weve tried to apply those tools to the design of the car to make sure we come out with a more equally matched car, brand for brand." ' ' '
