ATHLETICS
Tyson Gay proved Usain Bolt is not invincible over 100
metres by winning Friday's DN Galan meeting in 9.84seconds at the
Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. The American was quicker out of the
blocks and pulled clear to claim the first 100m win of his career
over the Jamaican world record holder. Bolt never looked like
catching his rival as he crossed the line in second in 9.97secs.
EQUESTRIAN
Great Britain's showjumpers secured a third-place
finish in the 2010 Meydan FEI Nations Cup series after Friday's final
leg in Dublin. Although Britain could not repeat their Hickstead
heroics last week when they won a Nations Cup round for the first
time since 2008, fifth spot was still good enough to secure an
overall podium spot. They finished on 42.5 points following eight
competitions throughout Europe, 1.5 behind runners-up the United
States and 11 adrift of champions France, who successfully defended
their title. |
