Olympics LIVE! 1500m, 110m hurdles golds to be decided today!

August 17, 2016 06:47

Jamaica's Omar McLeod blazed down the Rio track in 13.15 seconds for the fastest time of the 110 meters hurdles semi-finals as all the leading title contenders progressed to the Olympic final.

McLeod, the only man to have gone below 13 seconds this year, is hoping to become the Caribbean island's first Olympic high hurdles champion later on Tuesday but looks to face a stiff challenge from a trio of Europeans.

Pascal Martinot-Lagarde finished second in the second heat behind McLeod in 13.25, while his fellow Frenchman Dimitri Bascou confirmed his fine form by blitzing the field in the third semi in 13.23.

Cuban-born Spaniard Orlando Ortega won the opening heat in 13.32 ahead of the top American on the timesheets, Ronnie Ash (13.36).

We'll also see the women's 1500m final, featuring Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba and Kenya's Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon.

The men's high jump final is going on.
