Sally clinches gold in controversial women's 100 meters, 

Overcoming what it seemed like a false start, Sally, a 100 metres hurdles silver medallist at the Beijing Olympics, became the first Australian to win the gold medal since 1974 after Raelene Boyle, by clocking her season’s best of 11.28 seconds.

Her decision to participate in the 100 metres came as a shock for a lot of people and it was only a fortnight back, the Australian sprint queen surprised everybody by deciding to run in the 100 metres event.

Nigeria’s Osayemi Oludamola won the silver with a timing of 11.32 secs while St Vincent and Grenadines’ Natasha Mayers settled for the bronze with a timing of 11.37 secs.

In the men’s 100 metres, Clarke clocked 10.12 seconds and finished ahead of England’s Mark Anthony Lewis Francis (10.20 secs) and Trinidad and Tobago’s Aaron Armstrong (10.24secs).

It appeared as if Sally headed out of the final run after a false start, but officials showed the red card to England’s Laura Turner.

Competition officials said that Laura was ruled to have broken first, and was shown a red card. But an animated Laura appealed against the decision at the blocks and ran the final under protest.

England team leader John Brierley said that they have appealed against the decision to disqualify Laura and allow Pearson. Due to the protest, the medals ceremony has been deferred till Friday.

A nervous Sally said: “I didn’t have the best of starts knowing what was happening at the first start. I had to control myself and focus on what I had to do ahead. I wasn’t the one who was red carded, it was Laura Turner. I’m really happy about that.”

In the men’s shot put, Canadian Dylan Armstrong won the gold medal with a throw of 21.02 meters, which was Games record. He broke the record of Australian Justin Anlezark (20.91m) set in 2002 Manchester Games.

The silver went to Jamaican Dorian Amand Scott (20.19m) and Australian Dale Stevenson bagged the bronze with a personal best of 19.99m.

In the women’s hammer throw, Canada’s Sultana Frizell won the gold with a Games record of 68.57m. She broke the record of Australian Brooke Krueger (67.90m) set at the 2006 Melbourne Games.

Wales’ Carys Parry won the silver with a season’s best performance of 64.93m and the bronze went to England’s Zoe Derham with a throw of 64.04m.
