CRI听力:Bolt and Gatlin Progress to Men's 200m Final

2015-08-27来源:CRI

Jamaican Usain Bolt has progressed to the men's 200 metres final at 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing.

"Just a great time. It's going to be a good run. I think just overall a tough run, but I am looking forward to it. It is my favorite event and I want to win, so that's my focus."

He'll be up against American Justin Gatlin, who Bolt narrowly edged for the 100-meters title earlier this week.

In the men's 400 meters, Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa has claimed the title.

In a scary moment, the 23-year-old had to be rushed to a nearby hospital after collapsing after his victory.

He's expected to be fine.

Defending champion LaShawn Merritt of the USA finished second and the reigning Olympic champion Kirani James of Grenada was third.

Over to the women's side, Zuzana Hejnova of Czech Republic has taken gold in the women's 400m hurdles.

"It's absolutely amazing to be a world champion again. I was very nervous before the final. I am not 100 percent ready. I caught a little bit of a cold, probably from the air conditioning. But, in the end, I am really happy that I won again. It's perfect."

Kenya currently tops the medal count with 6 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze, followed by Britain and Jamaica.

China now sits in 15th place with 2 silver and 1 bronze.
