Qualifying
10) Rajindra Campbell (Jca) 21.05

Campbell advanced to the final.

Women's 800m repechage round

This is for those athletes who didn't automatically qualify for the semis. They get another chance, but must win their race, to be certain of advancing. The repechage rounds will be used for events 200m-1500m, where the fastest loser method will no longer be used.

Heat Two
5) Adelle Tracey (Jca) 2:03.67

Disappointing run. Tracey is a 1:58 athlete.

Easy 10 flat for Kishane to win his heat after a delayed start

In reply to FanAttick

First step. A walk in the park for the man from 'Egypt".

In reply to CWWeekes

Noah Lyles was struggling there…had to go all out for 2nd place..used up a lot of energy

In reply to FanAttick

Yes, he was. Please, Noah show up for the finals. I know Kishane would like to deliver your package directly to you.

My drink of choice today

100 m women’s semis.

Advance to final

Heat 1 Q Jefferson USA
Heat 1 Q Ta Lou-Smith CIV
Heat 1 q Kambundji (SUI)

Heat 2 Q Alfred St Lucia
Heat 2 Q Richardson USA

Heat 3 Q Clayton Jamaica
Heat 3 Q Neita GBR

This St Lucian Alfred is my favourite. She is running like Bolt - slowing up at the finish line

Anybody know why Shelly Ann didn’t show for the 2nd race.

Forbes (Jam) come 6th in the 1st Race and Bertrand (T&T) come 9th in the 3rd race

In reply to Acid

Its raining in Paris…will affect the conditions that the athletes will have to contend with during the final…

Dominica showing up and showing out. Haha.

Am still amazed at the level of athletes the region produces.

Dominica May win her first Nadal - gold today. Thea Lafond is looking real good
