http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_sports?id=161144522Trinidad and Tobago sprint stars Darrel Brown and Marc Burns are among the Caribbean athletes who will compete at today's Qatar Super Grand Prix. Both are expected to show off their wares in the men's 100 metres dash.
Brown is coming off a season-opening 10.02 seconds win at the Jamaica International Invitational, last weekend.
Burns will run his season-opener at the Qatar meet. Also in action will be Brown's training partner and World Championship silver medallist Michael Frater.
Reigning Olympic 200m champion Shawn Crawford, of the United States, and Portugal's Olympic 100m silver medallist Francis Obikwelu are among the sprinters expected to do battle with the Caribbean trio.
Some attention will be on Nigeria's Olusoji Fasuba, who finished second in last year's Qatar 100m dash, behind banned American Olympic champion Justin Gatlin. In that run, Fasuba clocked 9.84 seconds and Gatlin equalled the 100m world record at 9.77 seconds.
In the women's 100m, Jamaica's Commonwealth Games champion Sheri Ann Brooks leads the charge against American world champions Lauryn Williams and Allyson Felix.
The women's sprint hurdles event has an impressive cadre of competitors, enhanced by four Jamaican entrants-World Championship silver and bronze medal winners Delloreen Ennis-London and Brigitte Foster-Hylton, as well as Lacena Golding-Clarke and Toni-Ann D'oyley.
The Bahamas will be represented in the women's 400m by Christine Amertil, in the women's long jump by Jackie Edwards and in the men's triple jump by Leevan Sands.
