Yes they said it was wet and cold. Keen to see how Taylor does in the 200m and what time he runs.

Jamaica's Tyreke Wilson won a bronze medal in a historic boys 100m final on yesterday's opening day of the 10th IAAF World Under-18 Championships in rainy conditions at Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya.

Wilson, who went into the event with the fastest time of 10.34 seconds, ran 10.65 seconds (-0.3m/s) to finish behind two South Africans as Jamaica got on the medal tables in their first final of the five-day championships.

After two faulty starts, South Africa's Tshenolo Lemao won his country's first-ever global 100m gold in any age group, running 10.57 seconds with his compatriot Retshidisitswe Mlenga taking silver with 10.61 seconds.

The Saffers are coming!

Davis through to the finals in 11.45. Finals today at 11.40 am Ja time

D. Russell won his heat in a WL 13.08

S Foote and A Cox into the finals Women and Men 400m respectively

S Walker and R Williams into the semi-finals Women and Men 400mH respectively

W. Pinnock was 6th in long jump with a decent PB of 7.29m

Davis third in 11.67. Was expecting her to run much faster. That must be her slowest time in 3-4 months. Her reaction time was good so I need to find the video.

In reply to HeadleyShe was about to run past them all, but pulled up. Seems like a serious hamstring injury too. It is available on Youtube's "IAAF" channel daily.

In reply to mikesiva

Yes mi gladbag buss when ah see Watson win gold then it buss again when Russell win.

Both of these guys have genuine 100m speed and that makes them special.

In reply to Headley

Strong finish by Watson.
Russell is awesome man.
Let's see what the girls can do today.

Disastrous meet for Yard.

The two 100m finalist for girls and boys, pulled up and finished 3rd.

400m girls finalist was way ahead, stumbled over the last hurdle and finished 2nd. In the Boys section, one of the favourite, had a horrible race.

Sanique Walker had to the race in the bag in the women's 400m hurdles final.

1) Van der Welt (SA) 58.23
2) Walker (Jam) 58.27

Britany Anderson and Daszay Freeman first and third resp in 110mh.

12.72 WR to beat the record set by Yannique Thompson of Ja 2 years ago.

Russell in the mens 110mh

Burton 2nd at world juniors last year.

Ja is now 'officially' kicking butt in the hurdles.

In reply to Headley

Very nice problem to have. The men are dominating and young Russell is in the wings. Not to mention Hyde and Mowatt in 400.

With a little more fine tuning,Williams should get better,but it will take a lot to beat Kenny and company from US.Where is Rollins>

Overall good performance by our athhletes.Suffered some bad luck. Could have been better.

In reply to RoyalDad

Yes good performance overall. With a little luck it could have been even better. Guyana got a silver and TUrks got a bronze from one of their JC based students.

Miss Rollins missed a drug test after the Olympics and has been banned. Cannot remember the duration of the ban. But a number of 'voyers' have expressed disappointment.

BTW it seems the 12.72 britnay Anderson did to win the 100mh was not wind legal.

Sherica Jackson, Williams-Mills, McPherson and Day are not looking up to par. Jackson and others may be under loading and not yet in race shape so we wait to see and hope that Chris Ann Gordon can give us a positive surprise.
