UPDATE: Jury rejects appeal against Kaliese Spencer's disqualification
Published: Monday August 12, 2013 |
Andre Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter
MOSCOW, Russia:
The Jury of Appeals of the IAAF World Championships in Athletics says it has rejected an appeal by Jamaican officials, after 400m hurdler Kaliese Spencer had been disqualified after crossing the line first in her heat earlier today.
Spencer, the defending Diamond League winner in the event, was judged to have carried her trail leg around the second hurdle as opposed to over it, triggering rule 168.7 (a), which notes, "Trailed left/right leg below the horizontal plane of the top of hurdle at the instant of clearance."
Jamaican team officials Trevor 'TC' Campbell (team leader), Maurice Wilson (technical leader) and Michael Clarke (head coach) filed an appeal, which was later dismissed by the Jury of Appeals.
"An incident occurred in Heat 1 of the Women's 400m Hurdles where Jamaican athlete Kaliese SPENCER (bib number 524) who crossed the line in first position but was disqualified under rule 168.7 (trailing leg)," read the report on the incident.
"Video evidence was examined, the Jamaican Team not satisfied, and filed an Appeal to the Jury. The Jury of Appeal met and rejected the Jamaican appeal. The results stand."
There was some degree of confusion as reports had surfaced earlier that the Jury had in fact thrown out the Jamaicans' appeal, while team officials stated that there was in fact no decision and that they were awaiting video evidence.
Campbell told The Gleaner that the management team will be making a statement on the matter soon.

Jamaica's young bucks learn lessons in 100m final
Published: Monday | August 12, 2013
MOSCOW, Russia:
The big boys snatched the lion's share of track and field's glamour prize at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics (WCA) here on August 11, leaving Jamaica's young bucks licking their wounds, but now loaded with lessons to win at the highest level.
A strong finish by Jamaica's Usain Bolt, nearing his 27th birthday this month, was enough to grab the gold medal in the 100 metres. He finished ahead of fellow veterans American Justin Gatlin, 31, and 27-year-old compatriot Nesta Carter.
Kemar Bailey-Cole, 21, and Nickel Ashmeade, 23, the youthful pair in a final which produced four Jamaican starters, finished fourth and fifth, respectively, both in personal bests 9.98. It was not good enough to get the comparatively raw duo into the medal bracket.
Bailey-Cole exposed his inexperience from the starter's gun, struggling out of the blocks in the biggest race of his life. Hampered not by nerves, but the steady rain and tendinitis flare-up in his knees it caused, he could not overhaul the trio of veterans.
"It's just that the rain affects me," he said, "because I have tendinitis, so it tends to act up when the time is cold."
Carter thinks Bailey-Cole and Ashmeade were just outfoxed by craftier heads.
"I think the experienced runners came out on top, because of what they know and what they have done over the past years of their track and field careers," said Carter.
Bolt, claiming soreness in both legs after the semi-final earlier in the day, was unaffected by the rain. He clocked a season's best 9.77 seconds. Gatlin also collected a season's best and silver with 9.85. Carter, who said he wasn't affected by the downpour either, shrugged off "tightness" near the end to finish in 9.95.
Ashmeade said he picked up a valuable lesson from the race. In a sport of speed, he needs to slow down, at least emotionally.
STAY PATIENT
"You just have to stay patient and believe in yourself," he said.
Ashmeade ticked off a list of accomplishments reaching the last eight of a WCA race.
"It was a great opportunity, for one," he said. "I made the finals, two. Got a season best and a PB (personal best), three," he said. "I'm not in the top three, but still able to run under 10 seconds. So I gotta be pleased with that."
The rain didn't bother Ashmeade either.
"If it was stormy it would have been different," he said. "But right now it's fine."
Hungry for more success, Ashmeade and Bailey-Cole also learned they need to rebound quickly and turn their sights on the WCA 200 metres.
"Yeah, (the 100 was) a good experience for me and even motivates me more to come back in each championship and execute better," said Bailey-Cole. "It will help me a lot, because each time I run I learn more."
For one, he must improve the consistency of his start, the same one which worked fine in the early rounds, but probably cost Bailey-Cole a medal in the final.
"Can't complain about the heats and semi, but this (final) start wasn't good," he admitted.
Still, the biggest lesson came from the man who has dominated sprinting: Plan to win and execute.
"I knew the first 50 (metres) was going to be the most important part to me," said Bolt after the 100. "So I had to make sure I was in the race ... . My last 50 would just take me home."
With the young bucks struggling to catch up.
