Men's 100 semis....

Aaron Armstrong of Trinidad and Lerone Clarke of Jamaica both ran 10.14 to qualify easily from the first semi. Griffiths of the Bahamas finished sixth....

Emmanuel Callender, the other Trini, who the second semi in 10.14, but it was a disaster for the two Jamaicans. Ramone McKenzie did not start, and Oshane Bailey pulled up towards the end, finishing in 10.20. Bailey qualifies as a fastest loser, but will he be fit to run in the final?
