Jamaica’s Forbes takes third in 60m in Poland
KINGSTON, Jamaica— Jamaica’s Shashalee Forbes finished third in the women’s 60m with a time of 7.13 seconds on Tuesday at the ORLEN Copernicus Cup, a World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in Turon, Poland.
Forbes, who equalled her personal best 7.03 seconds at a meet at the National Stadium in Kingston on January 27, was running her third race in Europe after two outings in Germany last week.
Meanwhile, Poland’s Ewa Swoboda ran a world leading 7.01 seconds to extend her unbeaten run this year, followed by Italy’s Zaynab Dosso who ran a personal best 7.02 seconds.
It was also a meeting record for Swoboda, beating the 7.03 seconds she ran last year.
