KINGSTON — The following are results from the elite events at the 2013 Jamaica International Invitational track and field meeting, which took place at the National Stadium in Kingston on Saturday night.
The meeting, which showcase several of the world’s best athletes in both running and field events, was also without several superstars who are recognised both locally and globally.
Amongst them were six-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt and his training partner Yohan Blake, who were both out because of hamstring injuries.
Also missing the meeting was former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell, who remains cautious after picking up a minor groin and hamstring injury earlier this season.
Carmelita Jeter, the American sprint sensation also missed the meet with a minor injury and she was very disappointed about not being able to compete in front of the Jamaican track and field fans.
The meeting, at the same time, featured the likes of Veronica Campbell-Brown and Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica, who took the women’s 100m and 200m sprints in respective times of 11.01secs and 22.38secs. Jamaica’s Stephanie McPherson shocked everyone to win the women’s 400m dash in a personal best 50.43 to win
American Tyson Gay produced a world-leading 9.86secs to win the men’s 100m, while his training partner Nickel Ashmeed (Jam) won the 200m in a world’s best of 20.00 and USA’s Ryan Whiting 21.74m throw won the men’s Shot Put.
