200-M FINALS JUNIOR LADIES

Most of the girls have skated slower than their original time today. I am surprised as it is their second time skating their race on this track. You can figure out what you did wrong and make that correction and typically when the weather cools down the road and track are faster.

Mariah just broke into the 18's but we have more to come... right now she is in first with 6 more girls to go.

China Taipei just passed her by 4/100ths of a second...... Next up is Ho-Chen Yang from CT also... her time was faster than this mornings but not fast enough to move in front of Mariah. She is still in 2nd. Next up is Italy who scored a 18.95. She finishes .... on man..... 1/100th of a second faster than Richardson who now is in third with 3 girls to go.

So-Yeong Shin from Korea is flying... she too finishes under Mariah and into 1st.... 18.81. Mariah is now out of the medal count but should e proud of her great improvement!!!

COLOMBIA............... Rocks the house!!!!!!!!!!! She brings it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With one girl to go, will her 18.74 hold first????????????????????????? Here we go with Victoria Rodriguez frm Argentina.... Oh no... they tied they are both 18.74.... the crowd is chanting COLOMBIA.. COLOMBIA.... COLOMBIA....COLOMBIA... It's almost deafening!!!!!!!!!! No answer yet........
