All the Jamaican women have made the 200m finals on day 6 in Beijing China. The ladies who lined up include Elaine Thompson who looked really good in her race, but slowed down drastically, again, at the line. One wonders if this will cost her in the future, if she does not break this bad habit, that many Jamaican runners seem to have. Sherone Simpson ran her heart out to finish in the top two and Veronica Campbell Brown stayed in her lane.
