Gay sprints to year’s fastest 100m to defeat Gatlin
Story Created: Jun 22, 2013 at 9:21 PM ECT

Tyson Gay overcame Olympic bronze medallist Justin Gatlin’s quicker start and sped to the year’s fastest 100 metres, clocking 9.75 seconds at the US trials for the World Championships on Friday.
 
Fully fit for the first time in years, Gay took control mid-race with a dominant run to equal the tenth fastest 100m of all time. Gatlin finished second in 9.89 seconds in the race at Des Moines, Iowa.
 
“It’s been five years since I have been the U. champion and it feels good to be back on the podium,” said Gay, beset by injuries since winning both sprint titles at the 2007 world championships.
 
“I’m not as sharp as I could be but I’m healthy, so that’s all that counts,” said Gay, who ran another 9.75, this one wind-assisted, in the semi-finals.
 
Gatlin, who surprised Jamaican world record holder Usain Bolt in Rome earlier in the month, said he was affected by a strained right hamstring.
 
“It felt good running 9.8 with a bandage on,” said the 2004 Olympic gold medallist, who narrowly edged Gay for the bronze medal at last summer’s London Games.
 
Charles Silmon grabbed the third spot on the US team for “Worlds” by edging Mike Rodgers by two thousandths of a second. Silmon ran 9.972 and Rodgers 9.974.

Collegiate champion English Gardner came on strong to win the women’s 100 in another year-best time, 10.85 seconds, and Olympian Sharon Day delivered the top heptathlon score of the season, 6,550 points.
 
Gardner, now coached by John Smith, edged Octavious Freeman (10.87) with Alexandria Anderson grabbing third (10.91).
 
Haitian-born Barbara Pierre struggled to finish fifth after setting the world lead of 10.85 in the semi-finals that Gardner equalled.
 
The 100m hurdlers also flexed their speed, with collegiate record holder Brianna Rollins blitzing to an eye-catching but wind-assisted 12.33 seconds in qualifying.
 
Queen Harrison added a wind-assisted 12.44 seconds, hometown Olympian Lolo Jones clocked a wind-allowable 12.50 seconds.
 
The 2008 Beijing gold medallist Dawn Harper won her preliminary in a wind-assisted 12.60.
 
World record holder Ashton Eaton, taking a “play it safe” approach, trailed Gunnar Nixon after the first day of the decathlon with 4,405 points. Nixon had 4,449.
 
Beijing Olympic gold medallist Lashawn Merritt led 400m qualifying in 44.36 seconds, but London winner Sanya Richards-Ross, hampered by toe surgery, barely slipped into yesterday’s women’s final as the next-to-last qualifier.
 
She ran 51.53 with Francena McCorory the leader at 50.53.
 
The trials end today.

Bolt and Stewart win 100m at Jamaica trials

l  Kingston

World record holder and Olympic champion Usain Bolt put in a workman-like display to win the 100 metres on Friday at the Jamaican trials for the world championships.
 
Bolt recovered from a slow start to catch Nickel Ashmeade at the 50-metre mark and clocked a time of 9.94 seconds after easing off over the last ten metres.
 
The sub-10 second run was the 35th of his career.
 
“It was good to win ... I’m not too worried about the time as I have one solid month to work on getting ready for Russia,” Bolt told Reuters.
 
“The start wasn’t perfect, but the drive phase was better than it was when I lost to (Justin) Gatlin and then the turbo chipped in,” the 2009 world champion added, noting that coach Glen Mills advised him to do just enough to win.
 
Kemar Bailey-Cole sneaked up to take second in 9.98, while Ashmeade, who made the 200m final at the 2011 world championships, placed third in 9.99.
 
In the surprise of the trials, former world record holder Asafa Powell failed to fire in his third straight race in two nights, finishing seventh in 10.22.
 
Bolt expressed sympathy for Powell, who has struggled with hamstring troubles this season.
 
“Asafa has been through a lot this season and I was surprised he ran at these trials,” the six-time Olympic gold medallist said.
 
“He will just have come again on the European circuit.”
 
Olympic double sprint silver medallist Yohan Blake will be the fourth Jamaican in the men’s 100m in Russia by virtue of being the defending world champion.
 
In the absence of two-time Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the women’s title went to 2008 Beijing silver medallist Kerron Stewart in 10.94.
 
“I knew as long as I executed a good race, I would win.” Stewart told Reuters. “I have to give all credit to God (because) when everybody counted me out, he got me through.”
 
Sherone Simpson, who shared the Beijing Olympic silver, placed second in 11.02.
 
“It has been rough coming to the trials, but I’m happy I got into the second place,” she told Reuters.
 
Schillonie Calvert was third in 11.07 seconds and will join Fraser-Pryce at the August 10-18 World Championships, who has a wild card entry to Moscow.
 
Olympic finalist Leford Green posted a season best 49.20 seconds to win his fourth straight Jamaican 400m hurdles title with a dogged run to hold off Annsert Whyte, who slammed into the final hurdle.
 
Whyte held on for second in 49.30secs.
 
Isa Phillips placed third in 49.59 to make his fourth straight world championships team.
 
Ristananna Tracey, the 2011 semi-finalist at Daegu, South Korea, posted a personal best 54.52 seconds to win the women’s 400m hurdles.
 
Daneille Dowie and Nickiesha Wilson were both credited with 54.94 for second and third respectively to book their tickets to Moscow. Kaliese Spencer will be Jamaica’s fourth athlete in the event in Russia.

Jehue ran a season's best of 49.02 today in the Birmingham Diamond League 400m Hurdles and just missed out on a medals and points.
He needs to hold his form better in the last 100m but apart from that ran a good race.

Finally Bledman was an even bigger disappointment with his 5th place finish in the 100m Heats and did not proceed to the final. Not a good look for the T&T 2013 National Champion who is supposed to be our best sprinter right now.
Saw the race live and 40 year old Kim Collins made him look like a school boy in that race.
Hopefully it was jetlag or something like that and Bledman will at least run the WCA of 10.15 in his next 100m outing.

FYI both Richard and Bledman have attained the WCA qualification time as they have both posted legal times of 10.14 secs each!!!

Ok cool but at this point in the build-up to Worlds they both need to be running legal sub-10s at some point and not be struggling to run the WCA standard as those are the sort of times they need to be ruuning at will if they wish to come out of the first round at Worlds.
It would be nice to see some legal sub-10s from both of them at some point before the World Champs come around in just over a month's time. Running 10.32 for 5th place at this point in the season and being thumped by Kim Collins is rather disappointing from our top T&T sprinter.

With these performances by the Trini men sprinters.. No wonder why some of us in here keep hoping for a return of Mr Brown. Yes.. Brown making a full come back may seem far fetched.. But until one of our sprinters shows that they can run sub 10 consistently, people will continue to cling on to the one ounce of hope that Brown will come back.

Something to think about.. TT (men) winning a medal in the 4x100 in Moscow? Cant see it happening with these current performances.

jehue gordon ran well during the first 300 but his last 100 needs some work.

[gawd on pitch]

Yes. Jehue is almost there. I have a feeling he will surprise people and medal in Moscow.

I think you need to speak for yourself as you are the only one here who seems to be living in hope of Brown getting faster at this stage of his career. It is a sad story but he could not even make the T&T team as a member of the relay squad this year.

And taking about our Men's 4x100m relay team I think we have as good a chance as any other team of medalling if they work on consistent smooth baton exchanges and having the right order to our line-up to obtain our fastest possible times. We may not medal in the individual 100m in Moscow or even make the final but we do stand a decent chance of medalling in the Men's 4x100m relay if we put in enough relay practice.

I also think our Women's 4x100m relay team has a good chance of medalling in addition to KAB having a decent chance of medalling again in the individual 100m event.

If you are hoping for Brown after all his injuries and mismanagement to come back and medal in a major champs, you might as well also be hoping for Ato to come back out of retirement after his injury and at his age and outperform Kim Collins. It is not going to happen in this reality so it’s time to let go of that fantasy and move on.

Let’s concentrate on our talented young sprinters coming up and hope that one or two of them with the natural talent can become another Ato or surpass his achievements if nurtured, supported and managed properly.

Yes it is sad..

Our 4x100 men relay team in trouble Soca. Great Britain just got Dasalu. France Japan and even China has improved. I am not getting my hopes up with this relay team until I see a few sub 10s.

The TF community needs to do something fast because I don't see anything promising in men and women sprints. Kelly Ann is the exception. Kelly is on the other side of 25. What the hell they doing.

[STMB]

The gov't and corporate T&T have NOOOO guts whatsoever, especially the latter. They are in the business of betting on horses only AFTER they win. With Mario's Pizza and the like making millions on people selling fast food, you think they might contribute to something other than selling unhealthy junk.

My point is, we have not just youth like Taffe and James showing up big this year but proven talent like Cedenio and Jereem Richards proving themselves at the global junior level. You think they would be sponsored for even their expenses locally, far less sent to develop themselves on the European Circuit??  NOOOOO. They have to win an Olympic/World medal first or no dice.

Corporate T&T should be lining up to INVEST in the next wave of talent, but for most part remain spineless bloodsuckers.

Not sure why she was so far down but I'm hoping it was because she may have been in heavy training since Nationals. Any viewpoints?
