1) Kim Collins 6.51
2) James dasaolu 6.52

Caribbean women didn't do as well

I never cared for indoor track..

But glad to see my girl back in the game

In reply to problemjay

Good to see her back...I always felt it was unfair that KAB was given two years, and yet Tyson Gay only got one.

Season basically starts in Ja today.

Where is Trojan when we need him to provide updates?

Aleen Bailey fifth in women's 60m at Karlsruhe

'Former world outdoor champion Kim Collins, who celebrates his 39th birthday in April, won the men's 60m in a world-leading time of 6.48 seconds at the Russian Winter Indoor Meet yesterday. The evergreen St Kitts and Nevis sprinter had already clocked 6.52 seconds in winning the Dusseldorf event on Thursday. "I'll start nine more events this season," Collins, the 2003 world champion, said. "It's a serious challenge for me and I'm taking every new start as if it's my last." American Mike Rodgers, who served a nine-month doping ban in 2011 and was third in Germany behind Collins, was second in a time of 6.56sec. Yunier Perez of Cuba came third, 0.05sec further back.'

Old man river....

Michelle-Lee Ahye won the 60 Meter Dash MBTA (Final) in 7.15

Good for her!

In reply to problemjay

Asafa Powell second in the men's

women's race

men's race

mikesiva how good you think Michelle Ahoure will be this year? She beat Michelle Lee Ahye in this 60m final.

She ran 7:05 and MLA ran 7:11

Besides MLA not sure if any other Caribbean athletes were in the race.

KAB looking good so far

In reply to problemjay

I think Ahoure is always a threat in the one-off races, but doesn't seem to have the stamina or the mental strength for the rounds....

I'm watching Birmingham Indoors on BBC1 now....

Women's 60m heats

Michelle-Lee Ahye wins easy like Sunday morning in 7.18, easing down....

In reply to Headley

I think that ship has sailed...the thing is, Kim is so popular in Europe now that he doesn't need to compete for SKN to get paid to appear at these meets.

Men's 60m hurdles second heat

Greggmar Swift (Bdos) had a good start, but faded into third...7.72.

Mikel Thomas fourth in 7.74 and doesn't advance. Correction: looks like he did advance as a fastest loser.

Veteran Dwight Thomas out of it in sixth place....

In reply to mikesiva

St. Kitts has a half decent relay squad. Add him to it and it becomes very decent.

Thanks for the hurdles update.

My pleasure, bro...SKN are only hurting themselves by refusing to budge with regards to Kim Collins.

Women's 60m final

1) Murielle Ahoure (CIV) 7.10
2) Tianna Bartoletta (US) 7.15
3) Michelle-Lee Ahye (TT) 7.17

Ahye looked a bit too ragged there....

Kevin Craddock wins the men's 60m hurdles final in 7.58...Swift (seventh in 7.73) and Mikel Thomas (sixth in 7.70) run out of it.

Men's 60m final....

Daniel Bailey false-starts, and is DQ-ed. The same thing happens to Mike Rodgers....

Kim Collins wins in 6.50...excellent!

2) CJ Ujah (GB) 6.55
3) Trell Kimmons (US) 6.56

Adam Harris of Guyana is sixth....
