World women's 100 meters champion Veronica Campbell-Brown failed to qualify
for the Beijing Olympics in that event after finishing fourth in the Jamaican
trials yesterday.
Campbell-Brown missed out on qualification by just a 0.01 seconds, finishing
fourth in 10.88.
Only the top three finishers, Kerron Stewart (10.80), Shelley-Ann Fraser
(10.85) and Sherone Simpson (10.87), will contest the event in Beijing in
August.
Campbell-Brown still has a chance to qualify in the 200 meters on Sunday, an
event in which she won the gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics. She was also a gold
medallist in Jamaica's 4x100 relay in Athens.
