Loaded Sprint Field Sure to Sizzle in Kingston - IAAFPublished by
Loaded Sprint Field Sure to Sizzle in KingstonPublished by IAAF on May 7, 2015 Some of the best athletics meetings in the world traditionally have a core set of events, and the Jamaica International Invitational is no different; sprints are what the IAAF World Challenge meeting in Kingston does best. On Saturday (9), the Jamaican capital will stage all sprint events – on the flat and over the hurdles – for both men and women, along with a handful of field events and a couple of distance races. One of the biggest clashes will be in the women’s 400m where the three reigning global champions in the event will take on the Diamond Race winner. Olympic champion Sanya Richards-Ross will face world champion Christine Ohuruogu, world indoor champion Francena McCorory and Jamaica’s Novlene Williams-Mills. It will be just the third time in history that this quartet of quarter-milers has clashed. Richards-Ross showed at last weekend’s IAAF/BTC World Relays, Bahamas 2015 that she was getting back to top form, running a sub-49-second split to help the USA win the 4x400m. More news |
