Ishii created the K-1 Grand Prix, an ultimate fighting tournament in which expert practitioners of such disciplines as karate, kick boxing, kung fu, kempo, kakutogi and tae kwon do duke it out to determine which "K" martial art reigns supreme.

Although Gyorffy faced little to no competition in the collegiate ranks and in her own nation this past season, she was able to prepare for worlds by competing in several IAAF meets in Europe throughout the summer. Her best place came at the Norwich Great Britain Grand Prix meet, the last IAAF Grand Prix meet before the championships, in which she finished fourth. The placings at that London meet—Cloete in first, Babakova in second and Bergqvist in third—perfectly matched the medals awarded in the World Championships...

Taylor and Gyorffy have each been active in recent competition. Gyorffy placed sixth in an IAAF Golden League meet in Monaco last Friday with a 1.95-meter height—her best of the summer—and then jumped 1.89 meters to place fourth at a Grand Prix meet in London two days later.

The best jump in the world this year is 2.04 meters...
