All eyes were on star athlete, Emanuel Archibald yesterday and though he did not disappoint, he still did not achieve his goal of punching his ticket to the Olympic Games. 

Yesterday, the 26-year old showed his consistency as he once again challenged his national long jump record (8.12m) but still landed short of clinching a berth at the prestigious Games.
