Event 1 – 100 Meters - Heat 2

The runner charge out of the blocks as the gun goes off to start heat two. The field is tightly bunched early.

At the midway point Chilton is establishing himself, and Palmiero is responding by trying to keep pace. The rest of the field is moving like a wall towards the finish, there is almost to room between them.

Approaching the finish and Chilton is definitely going to win the heat and Palmiero will be about a stride back, but the rest of the field is still tightly bunched. It looks like the defending champ Llyw, Peltonen and Ginsberg are beginning to inch out on Bafou and Path. I’d expect Ginsberg to pull ahead coming in and take 3rd as he is the superior sprinter.

Chilton wins
Palmiero second

Peltonen, Llyw, and Ginsberg continue to battle for third, while Bafou and Path bring follow a step and half back…

Third is too close to call…

But Path does cross slightly ahead of Bafou

The results are up on the board and they are:

Chilton – 10.3
Palmiero – 10.45
Ginsberg – 10.7
Peltonon – 10.7
Llyw – 10.7
Path – 10.85
Bafou – 10.9


Another surprise in that the back end Path and Bafou performed as well as they did, and Ginsberg’s inability to open up a lead on Peltonon and Llyw has to be disappointing…
