First of all, Congratulations to our Pocket Rocket, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce for winning Gold for the 3rd time at the World Championships 100m Finals this morning in 10.76s! With the times Shelly has been running, she knew she was in a class by herself and celebrated before the line. She will sure get a mouthful from Coach Francis about that. Look out for the Dutchie who she passed on the right hand side, Dafne Schippers next year who has been running well all season, who finished in a close second with a PB of 10.81. US’s Torie Bowie finished 3rd, edging out our very own VCB. Congrats also to VCB who still went all out an managed to finish 4th in a packed field! Imagine Okagbare came last. The 4*100m relay should be a thriller.
200m action starts tomorrow morning. Look out for Ja’s Warren Weir, Usain Bolt, Julian Forte and Nickel Ashmeade! Check out the schedule below.
