Weltklasse Zürich
Chris Brown tried to crash the party set up by Jeremy Wariner and LaShawn Merritt, but alas, the Bahamian's torrid opening 200 faded when he needed it most.That left the stage to the two Americans, whose season has developed into one very interesting rivalry. Merritt, in lane 3, had Wariner, in lane 4, in his sight the entire way, but it made no difference as the Athens Olympic champion easily won against the Beijing champion with a season-best 43.82. Merritt clocked 44.43 as Brown held on for third in 45.05 ahead of Sweden's Johan Wissman (45.47). Flash Quotes:21:33 Jeremy WARINER (USA) "I had a good race today. All went according to plan, but it was not a revenge for the Olympic Games, not here. I still have two more races to come, and because I want to end the season as world number one, I must win both of them in Brussels and Stuttgart, and run the fastest time of the year."
