Gaisah wins again

Ignisius Gaisah won the long jump with a leap of 26-4 1/4 (8.03m) on Saturday at the Birmingham Indoor meet.

American long jumper Savante Stringfellow was carried from the track after seriously injuring his right knee at the same meet. He said he ruptured his patella tendon on take off.

The 2004 world indoor champion, who snapped an Achilles' tendon later that year and missed the Olympics, landed flat on his back in the pit and stayed in the sand for several minutes while he received attention.

"My right knee just blew," he said to meet organizers.

Christine Arron won a high quality women's 60 in 7.17 ahead of Belgium's Kim Gevaert and former world 100 and 200 meter champion Zhanna Block. American former world 100 champion Torri Edwards, in her first race since returning from a doping ban, placed fourth in 7.21.
