The 2011 Individual Championship was little different from the others.. We were always expecting who's going to win or who's going to lose, now, the challenge is developing in some events where you can't define who's going to be the Champion, but in the other events, it's still the same; the absence of women throwing the hammer, few athletes running the hurdles, few athletes throwing, and the same athletes always present..
Despite the lack of athletes participating and the lack of challenge, the Lebanese athletes are always surprising. Ahmad Hazer who's in his top of performance came to win 2 Gold Medals in 110m Hurdles and 200 meters taken the title from Ramzi Naim who finished 2nd in 200m and always first in 400m. Mohammad Tamim is back on the track, more especially the 100m, he ran last time a 10.72s and this time clocked a 10.81s, always running a sub 11 this year, and winning the gold on that distance, while Ahmad Hazer was second with a 10.98s; two sub 11 seconds on 100 meters, we were missing it! In the girls sprint, always the routine, Gretta Taslakian first in 100 and 200 meters, Maha Al-Mouallem second, we should notice the absence of Aziza Sbeity due to injury, but that we must see with a big come back! Saria Traboulsi finished first on 400m

On the 2nd of July 2011, the Lebanese Athletics Federation organized a Track and Field meeting at Jamhour, and at the same time, there was the Midget National Triathlon Meeting of France organized by the French Athletics Federation.
In two different places and at the same time, Ahmad Hazer was preparing for his second hurdle run for 2011 after clocking 14.49 in Romania, and Sara-Joe Kortbawi was preparing for her 3rd 1000m run this year; Sarah- Joe previously was near Saria Traboulsi's Lebanese record with 3:12.01. Sara-Joe and Ahmad were ready for this season, and they proved it when both of them smashed the Lebanese record in their category: Ahmad Hazer (Ansar) ran a 14.13 seconds on 110m Hurdles (1044pts) improving his own National record by 0.25s and securing his place in the World Championship, while Sara-Joe Kortbawi (Champville) clocked 3:08.45 improving the Lebanese Bantam record by 4 seconds and is now 1 second away from the Midget Record of 3:07.20 held by Gretta Taslakian.

Gretta Taslakian who was disappointed last year by her 4th place in 200m Asian Games finals, and her 4th place this year in Constanta for the international meeting organized by the Romanian Federation, she finally took her revenge smashing her own Lebanese record on 400 meters by 1.32 second! To improve it from 55.31 to 53.99s in June 11! An amazing performance for this amazing athlete who also was second in her heat and 8th overall in the 66th prestigious Cezmi Or memorial in Istanbul! She jumped from the 55 seconds directly to the 53! Gretta is preparing for the World Championship in Korea and the Asian Championship in Japan.
I should mention that the beginning of Gretta with Track and Field was in middle distance running and cross county and she detained the Lebanese record in 400 from the Youth till the Senior category. Then she specialized in sprints: 100 and 200 meters.
Congrats!

2000, she finally took her revenge breaking not only the Bantam Lebanese
record in 2000m, but also the Midget one! clocking 7:09.21, the
previous Midget record was held by Manal Tayar (CSJ) with 7:09.83. This
young and talented girl was appearing in all meetings and events,
especially the Beyrouth Marathon, when she was first in 3km run. Since
her first entry to the club, two years ago, at the age of 10, this girl

Back in 2007, on the 21st of April, when I first broke the 60 meters Bantam  Lebanese record that was once held by Lina Bejjani (CAEJ), an amazing Lebanese runner who is the youngest ever Lebanese to have participated in the Olympic Games at the age of 16, on that day, I scored 8.55s in a meeting organized by the CSJ. One week later, on 28 April 2007, I improved the record by 0.05s to make it unbeatable for 4 years: 8.50 seconds. Today, on 11 May 2011, and after 4 years, Nour Mouaness, my teammate at Champville, who is just 12 years old (Bantam 1), came to win without having the record in mind, she just did it and clocked a strong 8.47 second! I was sure she'd break it sooner or later, but the happiest thing I faced was the fact that I was the one who first noticed that she had broken the record and I told her the happy news! What's more was that no one was conscious about the record. The general rule about records: "They are made when we don't even think about breaking them"; this is proved!
This young girl has just made her first step into track and field history, inking her name in the Records book, which I call the "history book", like many others have don
