JEHUE’S TURN 21-year-old T&T athlete in World Championships 400 metres hurdles final tomorrow

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago, Express - “I wanted to show people what Jehue ‘Young Prince’ Gordon could do.” The Trinidad and Tobago athlete realised his goal at the Luzhniki Stadium, here in Moscow, Russia, yesterday. He was the class of the field in the opening IAAF World Championships men’s 400 metres hurdles semi-final heat, winning in 48.10 seconds—the third fastest time of his career. Coming off the final turn, Gordon and Javier Culson were in a keen tussle for the lead. Gordon proved to be stronger on the home straight, pulling ahead of the Puerto Rican and then shutting down in the closing stages of the race. The 21-year-old looked right and left, making sure none of his rivals were close enough to challenge for the top spot.
