US Out for More Gold at World Championships

USA-Track-and-Field-LogoMOSCOW (AP) — Already atop the medal standings after the opening weekend of the world championships, the United States will be looking to add to its haul Monday in the women’s 100 meters and a possible sweep of the men’s 110 hurdles.

Usain Bolt of Jamaica already won the premier event, the men’s 100, on Sunday, but defending champion Carmelita Jeter and top qualifier English Gardner women will be looking to get even on Monday in the U.S.-Jamaica sprint rivalry.

In the 110 hurdles, it looks like the United States could win all three medals with Olympic champion Aries Merritt, defending champion Jason Richardson and the season’s top performer, David Oliver, all in the final.

The other finals on Day 3 are the men’s pole vault and hammer throw, and the women’s shot put and 400.
