#Doha2019: Janeek Brown gives Jamaica four spots in women’s 100m hurdles semis

Janeek Brown

ensured that Jamaica will have all four women in the 100 metres hurdles in the

semi-finals as she finished second in Heat Five of the preliminary round on

Saturday at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar.

Brown was

quickest out of the blocks but was caught by Tobi Amusan of Nigeria after 40

metres. The Nigerian ran through smoothly to win in a personal best of 12.48

seconds.

Brown did

12.61 seconds with Nadine Visser of the Netherland finishing third in 12.75 as

Karolina Koleczek of Poland claimed the fourth and final automatic qualifying

spot from the heat for the semi-finals in 12.78.

Early, Megan

Tapper, Yanique Thompson and favourite for the title Danielle Williams also

advanced to the semis.

Jamaica have

four women in the field, instead of the usual three, as Williams got an

automatic spot to the World Championships by winning this year’s Diamond League

overall title.
