When you’re as fast as this, who needs a good start? De’Jour Russell may have reacted casually to the gun in the boys’ 110m hurdles final, but such was the Jamaican’s supremacy it proved irrelevant, the 17-year-old star powering away from his rivals to take gold in 13.04, a championship record.
The next generation of Jamaican track and field stars were on full display at the Jamaican Junior Championships, a two-day event which concluded on Saturday (24) at the national stadium in Kingston.
De’Jour Russell’s memories of the IAAF World U20 Championships Bydgoszcz 2016 are bittersweet.
