Kiryu edges Cambridge – twice
There was a feeling of déjà vu in the men’s 100m as Yoshihide Kiryu pipped Aska Cambridge by 0.02 – on two separate occasions.
In the heats earlier in the afternoon, Kiryu sped to a 10.09 victory (0.7m/s) with Cambridge running a season’s best of 10.11. The breeze had turned to a slight headwind of -0.2m/s by the time of the final 80 minutes later, but the outcome was essentially the same with Kiryu once again finishing marginally ahead of his 2016 Olympic 4x100m silver medal-winning teammate Cambridge, 10.14 to 10.16.
