WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS UPDATES (Last days) Part 1

On the final days of competition at the World Championships the United States would continue to show that they were a dominate country in Track and Field, but there would be another country that would also show that they were a dominate force in the track and field world. Russia would win the medal count over the United States and Jamaica would come in third at the worlds. The United States would earn six gold, thirteen silver, and six bronze and Jamaica would earn six gold, two silver, and one bronze. In the final days of the meet we saw the finals for the women's and men's  200m dash, womens 100m hurdles and the final relays (4by 100 and 4by400). In the women's 200m dash we saw Olympic 200m gold medalist Allyson Felix and Olympian Jeneba Tarmoh and Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare and Olympic 100m gold medalist Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce. During the 200m final there was a tragic event that happened, Olympic Gold medalist Allyson Felix pulled her hamstring coming off of the curve in the race and had to be carried and a assisted off of the track. The Olympic Gold medalist was very positive about the situation but once she began the race you could see something wasn't right about Felix. Shelly Ann Fraser- Pryce would go on to win the race in a dominating fashion with a time of 22.17. The second place finisher was determined by a thousandth of a second with Ivory Coast's Murielle Ahoure just getting by  Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare winning the bronze with a time of 22.319. On the men's side of things in the 200m final Olympic Gold medalist Usain Bolt of Jamaica would prevail winning. Bolt would win with a time of 19.79. America's own Curtis Mitchell would get the silver with a time of 20.04 and Jamaica's Nick Ashmeade would win the bronze with a time of 20.05. With Bolt winning the 200m at the World Championships he became the most decorated World Championships competitor ever. Along with the 200m the womens 100m hurdles final took place as well. There were a lot of veterans in the field with Olympic Gold medalist Australia's  Sally Pearsons and Olympic silver medalist Dawn Harper of the United States. The fastest time this year in the race had been put out by the NCAA champion Brianna Rollins and she was a competitor to look out for. Rollins had a shaky start coming out of the blocks but she would go on to dominate the race going on to become the youngest competitor(21) to win the gold in the womens 100m hurdles and she would also set a new American Record of 12.44.  Pearsons would win the silver with a time of 12.50, and Great Britian's Tiffany Porter would win the bronze with a time of 12.55, followed by American Dawn Harper and Queen Harrison winning fourth and fifth.
