Camryn Rogers is through to the hammer throw final at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. The 24-year-old, who won silver at last year's worlds, threw 73.94 metres in her second toss to reach Thursday's medal round in the Hungarian capital.
Rodney, of Etobicoke, Ont., posted a season's best time of 20.18, good enough for the sixth-fastest time in the heats.Also, Toronto's Jazz Shukla advanced into the women's 800 semifinals with a personal-best time of two minutes 30 seconds. Madeleine Kelly of Pembroke, Ont., failed to qualify at 2:04.72.
Michelle Harrison was knocked out in the women's 100 hurdles, placing eighth in her heat at 13.05 seconds. The 22-year-old Norwegian is the Olympic champion and has the fastest times this season. He came in as a 1-7 betting favourite but has yet to cross the line first in the 1,500 at a world-championship meet."Today was not a good day for me. ... All credit to Kerr, but obviously I wasn't 100 per cent today," he said.
It was the second consecutive world title for Moon, who also won Olympic gold in Tokyo. The 4.90 mark was a national record for Kennedy and a personal best by eight centimetres. The 27-year-old won the 2017 and 2019 world championships, but struggled to seventh at the worlds last season in Eugene, Ore., when he was hampered by an injury.
