An explosive start propelled Thelma Davies to victory in the women\u2019s 200m. She ran a brilliant bend to establish a near five metre lead, and she maintained her form to the finish to clock a 22.41 (=2.2m\/s). Spain\u2019s Ja\u00ebl Bestu\u00e9 was second in 22.69, ahead of former European 100m champion Gina Gina L\u00fcckenkemper of Germany, who was third in 22.76. <\/p>\n\n
\u201cMy finish could have been stronger, it was a little shaky but it’s to be expected with the travelling to get here and with not having my coach here with me,\u201d said the American victor.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cBut I ran strong, so I’ll go back and watch the race to see what I need to re-evaluate. This is my first season on the pro circuit – it’s a big transition from collegiate track but I’m so grateful for the opportunities I’m given. <\/p>\n\n
\u201cMy goals for the summer are to stay healthy and consistent, I’ve already qualified for the World Championships in Tokyo so I’m very excited for that of course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
In the men\u2019s 200m, Cuba\u2019s Reynier Mena dominated the field, sprinting clear to a season\u2019s best 20.05 (+2.0m\/s). Liberia\u2019s Olympic finalist Joseph Fahnbulleh was second in 20.32 and USA\u2019s Kyree King was third in 20.49. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
