Kelly-Ann Baptiste qualifies for the finals of the womens 100m finishing 3rd in her Semi-Final heat with a time of 11:00

[<=xjemler=>]

Semoy Hackett finishes in 5th position of womens 100m semi-finals heat 1 with a time of 11.26s.. well done Semoy.
Ahye finished 8th but well done girls !!!!!

Kelly Ann will have it tough in the final. Regardless, congratulations on reaching the Olympic final. This is already an accomplishment. She is among the 8 fastest women in the world. IMO, once she nails her drive phase and runs her usual race she will be a contender. She has shown that she can go under 11 seconds quite easily.

Jehue Gordon, I expect him to medal in 400m hurdles final.

I was wondering why his lane was empty eh.....
What a way to bow out :-/

Olympian sent home because he saw his wife and kids

Kim Collins of St Kitts and Nevis was set to run in the 100m dash today, for the 5th straight Olympics. However, his home country told him that he would not be allowed to complete because of a rules violation. No, he didn’t get arrested, nor did he take performance-enhancing drugs. Heck, he didn’t even say something foolish on Twitter. He just went to visit his wife and kids.
Collins violation was against the rules. Athletes are not allowed to leave the Olympic Village without permission. But this seems rather harsh. Especially to the guy that carried the country’s flag during the opening ceremonies. Officials for St Kitt and Nevis claim that he was probably out of the Village for the last two days, staying with his wife at their hotel.
Collins did take to Twitter to express his frustrations with the ruling:
“My fans. I won’t lie. Won’t be running later tonight.” Another message read: “Even men in prison get to visit their wives.”
As Jason Lisk of The Big Lead points out that the Olympic environment almost encourages rampant sex among the athletes, but apparently only if it is within the confines of the Village walls. How dare an athlete go see his wife for some quality time.

^ Was wondering the reason why he didn't compete, commentators were beating around the bush and hinting. That is really sad.

[Morpheus]

^^Yeah man. Steups....

Damn Baptiste came 6th in 10.94 in the 100M Women Final. 6th fastest woman in the world

[kevcam]

5 women ran under 10.9. Those Jamaicans in a different league boy. Is the determination in the eyes of Fraser-Pryce face dread.

He didn't talk to his olympic committe and ask for clearance to leave or to get permission for him?

There are thousands of olympic athletes and these measures are to also ensure their safety. Sucks that he didn't follow the rules but the officials did what they had to do.

I really wonder if this is the first olympics for most people, winning a HEAT doesn't mean you get a gold medal you idiots.

Those two guys were banned for some years from competing because they tested positive for banned substances so they are quite elated to be back on the track.
