Sanya Richards FL 23.31 -3.5 (Allyson Felix CA 23.34)
Opposite emotions at finish of torrid stretch duel.
Felix pulls hamstring
as pair are dead even near the finish.
|
Felix falls, and
Richards races off the winner.
|
Felix pulls hamstring in the last few meters. It was too close
to call before the race - the best in the West vs. the best in the
East -- and it was almost too close to call at the finish. The two
raced the last 75 meters side by side in adjacent lanes with the
issue totally in doubt until Felix faltered just enough for Richards
to win. The California junior, who usually floats serenely across
the finish line no matter how close the race, had a contorted face
as she reached the finish line and then collapsed just after the
finish. After several minutes prone on the track, Felix got up and
walked off under her own power. She had been entered in the senior
women's 200 Saturday, but scratched. Headwind (-3.5 mps) holds down
time on this and other sprints and hurdles on Friday.
Richards gets the edge as they lunge at the finish.
Felix
fell as soon as she crossed the finish line.

Felix
walks off, still hurting.
