Women's 100m Semi-Finals | World Athletics Championships Doha 2019.

we saw some unprecedented times yesterday who is going to shine here in the semi-finals young leeway Asian Games champion five years ago heard last year in Indonesia Tonya gaper made the 200 final two years ago fourth in heat for in lane Thompson the joint fastest woman in the world this year the Olympic champion the fifth fastest in history pan-american gold to add to her collection in Lima not so long ago 11 1 4 in qualification Mari Jose talu 10.8 five in the heats equalling her PB she is in great great form Daryl Nietzsche Great Britain PB to qualify you can't ask much more of an athlete than that she's in 6 Tiana Daniels is the US Champion around the surprise winner third in the n-c-double-a is a couple of years ago 11 to 0 in qualification second from the outside from Gambia is the newly crowned 200-meter African champion Gina bass who beats our Liu to that title or no cha Lu had performed well in the 100 meters looking kemper in lane 9 european silver medalist last year way into Gaither 3 Thompson for char loom 5 meter 6 Daniel 7 verse 8 looking Kemper in 9 in theory on paper and when can you trust predictions that's why we love watching live sport because so many things can change Thompson of Jamaica in for talu of the Ivory Coast should be the women in theory to book their place in tonight's final two of the fastest we've ever seen while we still real fireworks and talu in the heat said she's got a good start and half a meter on Elaine Thompson and the Olympic champions tracking her nicely here Charlie from Thompson with Daniel's getting third so she'll have to wait to see if she can go through as a fastest loser 1085 in the heats ten eight eight in the semi-final Marie Jose talu is in the form of her life and she will feature for the medals that look very easy against a world-class opponent it did Tolu was great her dry face just really helped her stand out from the others that's where she pulls away she gets her momentum up really quickly a lot shorter of course from Elaine Thompson so she's just able to propel her legs works really really hard I think she wanted that sometimes it's important at this stage to get that psychological advantage but I think Thompson is still just really making sure that she doesn't give too much away here she did make that 11 seconds look very very easy here we go again Tolu just drives but we can actually see her grimacing then that she puts her head up quite in contrast to Elaine Thompson who just looks really relaxed the whole way not really driving as much but we can just see that talu just carries that speed through the line here we go we get another version of it after 10 meters this is where she really picks up 10 meters to 50 meters and she's really tall we can see she just has a little luck - looks even on her outside absolutely no need to do that 10.8 7 seconds just to hundreds of seconds slower than last night and that was her personal best equal in performance just 24 hours ago this could be very very special this final I guess the only thing you'd contemplate at this stage looking at these two contrasting images of smoothness and aggression talu has run two of her quickest times in back-to-back evenings has she left enough for the final yeah as a game of strategy isn't it we always say we know what people are going to bring come the semi-final stage but I'm just still thinking that Elaine Thompson hasn't put down her foot yet they actually tired Shelly and raised a price and herself they tied at the Jamaican Championships it was great to see them run those 10.7 three seconds Marie Jose talu rounded down to ten point eight seven Thompson barely flinched 411 on the nose Daniels and Neeta will have to wait and see whether those times are good enough to go through as the two non automatic qualifiers but two outstanding semies still to come now to the second of our semi-finals Kristin Emanuel 4-pin the Pan American Games over 200 meters fifth in the con games last year he was for boda European indoor and under 23 titles this year she is in cracking form and she get close to that 11:07 TB drawn in the lane adjacent to the double european champion and the fifth fastest woman in the world this year dina asha smith bidding to become the first British woman into a world championship 100 metres final English gardener joint seventh fastest athlete in history she had a torrid time 13 months out with an anterior cruciate ligament problem she still hasn't quite recaptured that form but she could be a factor so too could when geography and bungee World Indoor bronze last year so we know she starts well European bronze a couple of years ago inside 11 seconds at her best Xiao Jing Liang Youth Olympic Games champion in Nanjing on home soil back in 2014 she looks like she's up for it more Laker Kinison relay gold for the United States in Rio and in London 11 to 3 in qualification third in the u.s. champs and Johnny L Smith world use semi finalists a few years ago Central American and Caribbean champion 11 to 0 in qualification only to remember joining Elaine Thompson and Marie Jose talu Dina Asha Smith in for Crystal Emmanuel there is goes in lane two it's for boda second from the right is in good form this year but it's Asha Smith started the season so dominantly wins in Doha in Stockholm on the diamond trophy as well beating Shelley and Fraser price watch out for English gardeners she's in the lane just outside Dena Asha Smith and can Bungie of Switzerland will also hope this is a wonderful opportunity for her to move in to tonight's big final nasha Smith bird from the right hand side English gardener got a good start now Deena rashes Smith beginning to pull away from the rest of the field gardeners pulled up she takes it brilliantly 10.8 7english gardener pulled up dealer Asha Smith did not flinch 10.8 7 which is just 2 hundredths of a second outside of personal bests Johnny L Smith came through wide and late on the outside to deny cam Bunji of Switzerland the second spot that was very very impressive exactly the same time as Marie Jose char loo cam bungee misses out that she is in a non automatic qualification squat down with 11.10 wow that was so impressive considering that English garden they got a better start she never flinched and never panicked she did an impressive it was and also so impressive that she is worried now about English gardener such a lovely person is Deena rushes Smith hope that English guard is okay there but yes going back to the race Wow Deena Russia Smith didn't show as much in the heat I wanted to see more we've been spoiled so far on those Championships she had a good start it wasn't electric but it was a good start she looks very relaxed out here now and we still have to remember that she's still only 23 years of age I was actually really impressed with Jenelle Smith on the outside the Jamaican athletes watching all the athletes coming out to the track actually Jenelle Smith was behind them all and she came from behind in the race also he would go again fascinating to see these athletes faces up close Deana Rasha Smith yesterday lot like she was a little bit nervous when we saw her in the block cam looked a little bit more relaxed out there this evening and what I like to see is how an athlete comes across the line this is where we can see just looking at those images that she really starts extended she leans forward slightly has some great angles with our hips and you have to drive from those hips she uses everything that she can Dina rushes Smith much smaller of course and the likes of Elaine Thompson she's built more like talu she has such a long stride for a diminutive frame and the way she actually sped over the line she wasn't slowing down it took her an age to decelerate that's a great sign a lot more smoother than yesterday looked a lot more relaxed right from the start could this be the championship where Dena Arthur Smith collects her first global medal well on that kind of form she's got a chance she's got a great chance that this has the makings of maybe wing one of the all-time great 100-meter showdowns and you know what's been brilliant really disappointing for English gardeners she's so frustrated because she did start that race so well and she had 13 months out with an anterior cruciate problem to pull her hamstring is the nightmare scenario none of these big women have avoided each other they have gone head-to-head constantly throughout the season and it's added to the intrigue and the drama Dena Asha Smith is through to the final and in fine fine style Jonny L Smith came through late on the outside to deny can bungee but can bungy is tied for time on Daniels the American so she's in the non automatic spot at at the moment the third semi final for the women's 100 meters man creaky sixth of the Asian Championships earlier this year over 200 and Manuel and Sukkot 4x1 European champion would be Great Britain quartet twelve months ago what a lane for her what a moment for Muriel ahurei World Indoor champion a superb performer seasons best in qualification for this semi-final she knows she's going to have to be good Shelley and Fraser price one of the all-time greats multiple world champion multiple Olympic champion looked amazing in the heats Kelly Ann Baptiste has been around for a while got of bronze way back in daegu in 2011 Daphne skippers double world champion over 200 meters Olympic medallist over the 100 perhaps not quite her sparkling form but more than good enough to make the final Tori buoy the defending champion doesn't start that's why lane sevens empty no surprise there she's had a hard season and Tatiana Pinto of Germany on the outside volumize the third semi-final of the women's 100 meters Fraser price in five a a in four skippers in seven shellie appraiser price gets a brilliant start and she looks so smooth muriel ahurei in second skippers has got a little bit to do here 10.8 - the stage is set for a massive massive showdown she got out of the blocks brilliantly skippers closed right down on a a-and I think she might have just done enough to go through that's one of the two non automatics that she has with 1107 she was miles behind and left it late but Fraser price was in a class of her own 1081 I don't think she's ever looked this good in a major championship before after the heats and the semi-finals that was so composed it looked like she had another to chance there should she have needed them Rob I've got a totally agree with you she looked great yesterday didn't she same sort of performance only thing different about today is a different her colour but she just gaps away from some real well-established World Championship winning athletes here because just see from this start she just gets half a meter off in the first step and then she just goes away and from this point on round about 15 metres to go she just starts decelerating what a fantastic time to run in a semi final 10.8 1 seconds I think she can go really close to her personal best of 10 point 7 0 seconds got about an hour and a half or so to wait but yeah she looks she's actually looking up at the screen she's trying to get engaged whether anyone is anywhere near her sometimes an athlete's koreas they just have this purple patch where everything seems to go right and surely I'm very surprised could have a real remarkable Championships here unbelievable quality and composure for another low ten eighths Shelley and Fraser price into the final a a the World Indoor champion is there slippers closed up not enough for an automatic spot but 11:07 is good enough so the two-time world champion over 200 meters will join the big party at the climax of the evening here in the Khalifa International Stadium what and ends tonight 3 in prospect well this lineup is ridiculous double Olympic champion Shelley and Fraser price double Olympic champion Alain Thompson both of them joint fifth on the all-time list Tina Asha Smith into a final for the first time
