Tori BOWIE - U.S.A. - 2017 World 100 metres Champion.

As the photograph above shows, the finish of the women's 100 metres final
at the London World Championships was a very close affair with Tori Bowie
just winning the event from Marie-Josée Ta Lou by one hundredth of a second.
Lanes 7 and 4.
2016 Olympic Champion Elaine Thompson lane 6 (10.84 in her semi-final and a 10.71
in June) had to settle for 5th place and no medal.

2017 World Athletics Championship. London Olympic Stadium,
England.

1.	BOWIE	Tori	USA	10.85	SB
2.	TA LOU	Marie-Josée	CIV	10.86	=PB
3.	SCIPPERS	Dafne	NED	10.96
4.	AHOURE	Murielle	CIV	10.98
5.	THOMPSON	Elaine	JAM	10.98
6.	AHYE	Michelle-Lee	TTO	11.01
7.	SANTOS	Rosângela	BRA	11.06
8.	BAPTISTE	Kelly-Ann	TTO	11.09

At the end of the race Tori fell over ! Murielle Ahoure was not too pleased,
aside from missing a medal, Murielle could not avoid Tori and she then fell
over the American.

One might say she Tori also had a colourful moment in her
heat of the women's 100 metres. The rain and relecting stadium adverts
produced these images of the future Champion.
