Jamaica’s Tina Clayton received the ladies’s 100m ultimate on the global under-20 championships on Thursday, edging out Beatrice Masilingi, who shone on the Olympics and located herself on the centre of dialogue over body structure. Clayton timed 11.09sec for victory with Namibia’s Masilingi at 11.39 in 2d and Switzerland’s Melissa Gutschmidt taking bronze in a time of 11.51. Masilingi, 18, used to be one of the vital revelations of the Tokyo Olympics when she completed in 6th position within the 200m ultimate, her maiden look at a big championship.
