We have a 9 day program, yet some genius decided to schedule the 200 m in the morning right after the 100 m was last night.  

Oh, i got it now. Because we are going to have the Repechage round and they will need to insert another run on the schedule

Shericka Jackson DNS in the 200m 

 

What’s going on with the Jamaican women?

I must have missed something. Why is it expected?

She looked somewhat injured in her last meet, then pulled out of the 100m earlier on....didn't think there would be much hope for her to run the 200 now  

 

Hopefully it's not a Kenteris/Thanou kind of story

Ah, I didn’t know about the injury. I thought she pulled out of the 100m to fully focus on the 200m

I do think that was the plan, but in the sense that the 100 wouldn't work anyway and she'd focus on being fit enough for the 200..

Tentoglou 8.32 and qualifies for the final

You can’t do that anymore. Out of one, out of all is the rule, unless you can show some exceptional medical reason.

Radek Juska 8.15 with a perfect board timing and also qualifies.
