The Australian sprinter Torrie Lewis has made a stacked field and a headwind light to break her own national 100m record and to storm the semi-final on day one of the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.
In the row against title defender Sha’Carri Richardson from the US, two-time world 200m champion Shericka Jackson from Jamaica and two other runners with career-sub-11 second PBS, Lewis could have been overwhelmed.
Instead, she was inspired.
The 20-year-old flew out of the blocks on Saturday and kept her shape in the final phase to clock out for 11.08 seconds in 0.8 m per second.

She finished a close third behind Richardson (11.03) and Jackson (11.04), with only the top three in every heat that would be guaranteed to move forward.

Lewis dissected two hundredth of a second of her previous national record of 11.10 that was set in Canberra last year, with the promise of even better to get in the semi -final of Sunday.
“I was super nervous before this competition because I knew this the times I can touch,” she said.
“Actually this is the slowest time in my thoughts I had, so hopefully I can build on that.”
Lewis was proud of how she dealt with the cards she was treated in the heats.

“It was like” thank you guys for giving the most difficult, “she said.

“But after I had it sinking, I was very happy that I had them because I can run with them, and what it matters if they beat me because they are almost the best in the world, almost.

“So I just wanted to run as quickly as possible as I could with them and see how I am going.”

Jessica Hull wins 1500m heat

Jessica Hull watched the runner every centimeter who claimed a historic silver at the Paris Olympic Games in Paris, and was an impressive winner of the first of the three ladies 1500 m heats.
Hull was at the front for the duration of the race and immediately covered all movements in the final to win in 4: 4.40.
She will be accompanied in the semi -final of Sunday by fellow countryman Linden Hall, who was fourth in her heat.

Hull showed no post-effects of her shocking defeat during the recent Diamond League final in Zurich when she no longer had gas and was ponded by Kenyan Nelly Chepchirchir.

“It’s hard if it’s the first race after something like that, so I was definitely a bit more intuitive in my body,” she said.

“I wanted to feel what I felt and just trust it.
“I had the gears I thought I would have when I was completely tapered and fresh.”
