Michelle Jenneke’s Olympic campaign has probably come to an unfortunate end, with the star 100m hurdler suffering a knee injury and crashing to the track after hitting the third barrier in the opening round. Jenneke, 31, bravely got to her feet and completed the race, which means she would be able to contest the repechage round on Thursday if given the all-clear by the Australian team doctor. But that seems rather unlikely after she felt the right knee pop shortly before the accident.
” Jenneke had felt some soreness in the knee in the previous few days, but nothing to suggest that this was going to happen. Countrywomen Liz Clay and Celeste Mucci will contest the repechage round on Thursday. In better news for the Australian team, 2023 world championships bronze medallist Mackenzie Little and evergreen Kathryn Mitchell both advanced to the women’s javelin final. Little overcame a “sloppy” first throw to better the automatic qualifying standard of 62m with a 62.
