Barshim Back to What He Does Best Qatari Athlete Returns to Big Action; Sprint Queen Fraser-Pryce Cruises; Obiri Shines in 5000M AFP/TNN LONDON/DOHA Olympic champ Sun Yang accuses Aussie Mack Horton of disrespecting China MONDAY, JULY 22, 2019 PAGE 14 Philippines erupts in joy as Manny Pacquiao wins WBA crown PAGE 15 Barshim back to what he does best Qatari athlete returns to big action; Sprint queen Fraser-Pryce cruises; Obiri shines in 5000m AFP/TNN LONDON/DOHA HAVING made a winning re- turn just last month in Poland after an injury lay-off of over a year, Qatar’s world champion high jump star Mutaz Essa Barshim chose to settle for the second place at the London An- niversary Games on Sunday. This was, however, the first big meet for Barshim in over 13 months and the 28-year-old Barshim let out a cry as he exulted at the Lon- don Stadium having cleared his season’s best of 2.27m in his third attempt. He gave up on 2.30 after one attempt perhaps saving his best for later including the IAAF World Championships sched- uled to be held in Doha in September. Meanwhile, Syria’s Majd Eddin Ghazal showed superb form clearing 2.27 in his sec- ond attempt and later 2.30 in his first jump to win the event. In the other big action, Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (centre) on way to winning the women’s 100m ahead of second-placed Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith (left) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce fired third-placed Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou (2nd right) during the the IAAF Diamond League Anniversary Games at the London Stadium in a warning to her sprint rivals London on Sunday.
