PARIS – Jas­mine Ca­ma­cho-Quinn of Puer­to Ri­co was the lone Caribbean medal­ist on the penul­ti­mate day of ac­tion at the Paris Olympics in France, Sat­ur­day.

Ca­ma­cho-Quinn, the de­fend­ing cham­pi­on, grabbed bronze in the women’s 100-me­tre hur­dles in an ex­treme­ly close fin­ish at the Stade de France.

De­vynne Charl­ton of the Ba­hamas was sixth in 12.56 sec­onds and Ja­maica’s Ack­era Nu­gent did not fin­ish.

Else­where, in the men’s high fi­nal Ja­maica’s Ro­maine Beck­ford end­ed in 10th po­si­tion af­ter clear­ing 2.22 me­tres.

Hamish Kerr of New Zealand leapt 2.36 me­tres to claim gold, USA’s Shel­by McEwen was sec­ond af­ter clear­ing the same height, while Es­sa Barshim of Qatar copped bronze with his ef­fort mea­sured at 2.34 me­tres.
