Elaine Thompson finishes third in 200m at PreFontaine Classic
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson today finished a creditable third in her 200m in 22.16 seconds at the PreFontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon.
In-form American Tori Bowie showed good form in winning the race in a world-leading 21.99 seconds ahead of Dafne Schippers in 22.11 seconds.
Thompson, who came off the bend in second behind the flying Bowie, stumbled a bit and was overtaken by the fast-closing Schippers on the line.
