KENDRA HARRISON LIT up the London Anniversary Games as she broke a 28-year-old world record in the 100m hurdles.
Harrison’s blistering time of 12.20 was one-hundredth of a second faster than the longstanding record set by Bulgaria’s Yordanka Donkova back in 1988.
It was an unforgettable night for the 23-year-old American who will not be at the Rio Olympics next month — because she wasn’t fast enough at the US Olympic trials.
Despite running a super 12.24 earlier this season, Harrison disappointed at the trials earlier this month and only finished sixth.

“Not making the Olympic team, I was really upset and wanted to come here and show what I could have done,” Harrison told the BBC.
“I had vengeance on my mind and wanted to show the girls what I had.
“I trained so hard for this moment. Good luck to the girls running in Rio, but I am just shocked now.”
Harrison was 0.37 seconds quicker than US team-mate Brianna Rollins who took second in 12.57 with Kirsti Castlin completing an American 1-2-3 in 12.59.

Holding hands?
Do ya think he was trying Humor, normally people together that long get married hence the holding hands and ceremony. Do ya think maybe he was just havin a laugh. Homophobs starting to panic “Gay” is getting into rugby. Gareth Thomas one of the best sportsman to take to the field and one of the toughest men around aswell(was gonna use hardest around but thought better)
It’s a great idea on lots of levels. I hope that this doesn’t disturb the homophobes too much!! Real men are not insecure about their sexuality or how their actions look to bigots
Holding Hands…a sort of Irish haka ..I’m sure Wales would be really scared by it

All that groping and grappling? Not to mention where heads and hands are positioned in the Scrum!
He’d want to go and eat a few spoons of cement and harden up !
“Bigger tackles and softer hands….”
