Ahye sits out Diamond League

...Borel in shot put ac­tion

De­scribed as a pre­cau­tion­ary move, world lead­ing sprint­er Michelle-Lee Ahye will sit out of to­day's Di­a­mond League 100 me­ter ac­tion in Mona­co.

Ahye, who pulled up and col­lapsed on the track hold­ing her ham­string on Wednes­day af­ter win­ning the women's 200m events in Switzer­land, was orig­i­nal­ly card­ed to line-up against Ja­maican pair Shelly-Ann Fras­er-Pryce and Veron­i­ca Camp­bell-Brown as well as USA's Allyson Fe­lix, to­day. How­ev­er, she con­firmed her de­ci­sion to opt out of the race to­day on her Twit­ter ac­count say­ing: "Won't be com­pet­ing this week­end rest­ing up for Com­mon­wealth."

Ahye has con­firmed that a cramp was the cause of her pulling up on Wednes­day and was "noth­ing se­ri­ous". She is ex­pect­ed to com­pete at the Com­mon­wealth Games in Glas­gow, Scot­land, which runs from Ju­ly 23 to Au­gust 3.

In Switzer­lands, Ahye won both the women's 100m and 200m races, in 11.09 sec­onds and 22.77 sec­onds, re­spec­tive­ly. The lat­ter time equalled her per­son­al best she se­cured at the Na­tion­al Cham­pi­onships, last month. In the 100m, Ahye holds the world lead­ing time, 10.85, which she al­so clocked in Port-of-Spain, last month.

Mean­while, T&T's top shot ath­lete, Cleopa­tra Borel will be the lone na­tion­al rep­re­sen­ta­tive in Mona­co to­day. The women's shot put will open pro­ceed­ings. Borel cur­rent­ly sits in sixth po­si­tion in Di­a­mond League rank­ings.
