EUGENE, Oregon (July 17) —— The start list for the women’s 100 meters semi-finals on day three at the World Athletics Championships 2022 at Hayward Field here in Oregon, as Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson look to repeat their medal-sweeping performance from Tokyo at the Olympics last summer.
Jamaican champion Jackson, who cruised into the semi-final on Saturday evening, will be the first of the first on the track when the Olympic bronze medalist takes on British European champion Dina Asher-Smith, who ran 10.84 seconds to qualify fastest from the heats.
Also starting in this semi-final is American Twanisha “Tee Tee” Terry, as well as St. Lucia’s Julien Alfred and Jamaica’s Kemba Nelson, the top two finishers at the NCAA Championships on this same track last month.
Olympic sprint double champion Thompson-Herah will feature in the second semi-final of the women’s 100m when she starts from lane six. The fastest woman alive has won her last two finals at Hayward Field and she will be hoping to make it three as she targets a first worlds individual title.
Going up against Thompson-Herah is the American champion Melissa Jefferson, Olympic fourth-place finisher Marie-Josée Ta Lou from the Ivory Coast, and Swiss national record holder Mujinga Kambundji.
Meanwhile, defending world champion Fraser-Pryce will be in the third semi-finals where she will go up against USA’s Aleia Hobbs and British champion Daryll Neita and Michelle-Lee Ahye of Trinidad and Tobago.
