Athletics At The 2010 Commonwealth Games – Women's 100 Metres
The Women's 100 metres at the 2010 Commonwealth Games as part of the athletics programme was held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Wednesday 6 October and Thursday 7 October 2010. The final was subject to some controversy. England's Laura Turner and Australia's Sally Pearson had a simultaneous false start, but only Turner was initially disqualified, "on the grounds that her reaction time was the quicker". Turner refused to leave the track, and officials eventually authorised her to run "under protest", meaning that her time would not be recorded unless her disqualification was overturned. She finished last, and her time was not recorded. Pearson won the race, but admitted afterwards that she had "twitched first" out of the starting blocks, and England and Nigeria both requested that she be disqualified for her false start; her disqualification would enable Nigeria's Oludamola Osayomi to claim gold, and England's Katherine Endacott to claim bronze. Pearson was disqualifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
