A couple withdrawals in the womens 200m including Kerron Stewart. Only 6 women in the 200m final later.




Lane 2 Fraser
Lane 3 Bailey
Lane 4 N. Anderson
Lane 5 Facey
Lane 6 Veronica
Lane 7 Anneisha

I wonder the reason for the withdrawals??? Injuries?? I hope it's not because she's (Kerron) is upset about the 100 from yesterday

Unless we hear from her directly, we can only speculate the reason for her absence in the womens 200m

I would knock her in her head if it wasn't a legitimate reason such as an injury

Kerron comments:

re: the start of the 100 m
**the gun was quick
**noise in the stands

"you win some you lose some, I am human, I am just Kerron"

re: not running the 200 m
**she was really injured after the 2008 last year and doesn't want to double
**she wants to give 100% to the 100
**still nursing injuries from last year due to the double

She says she just wants to concentrate on the 100 ..... I'm very disappointed in her choice ... but it is her choice.

I just saw the interview.

Good luck to her even though I would have preferred to see her in the 200m

She REALLY wants a gold, I think its part of her grand design... Win gold this year and have a bye for 2011. Then double in 2011.
