Cayman sprinter makes it through to 100m semis
Posted on Sat, 08/04/2012 - 09:55 in Sports
(CIOC): Kemar Hyman is safely through to the men’s 100 metres semi-finals at the London Olympics. The 22-year-old Caymanian ran 10.16 seconds in his heat, coming fourth behind the USA’s Ryan Bailey (9.88), Ben Youssef Meite of the Ivory Coast (10.06) and Canada’s Justyn Warner (10.09). Only the top three in each of the seven heats qualified automatically and Hyman qualified as one of the three fastest finishers outside of the top three. There were no surprises in the other heats. Defending Olympic champ Usain Bolt of Jamaica cruised home in 10.09 seconds to win his heat.
Other heat winners were America’s Tyson Gay (10.08) and Justin Gatlin (9.97) and Jamaica’s Asafa Powell (10.04 and Yohan Blake (10.00). Britain’s Dwain Chambers won the final heat in 10.02 seconds.
The 100m semi-finals and finals are on Sunday. The semis are from 1.45pm Cayman time and the final is at 2.50pm Cayman time.

He was pulled from the race
He was pulled from the race because of pain in hip and groin after the warm-up. Coaches will make these decisions when they think it is in the athlete's best interest. They want to avoid long term injury. He did extremely well. We're proud of him and he's young. He will be there next olympics!
