Star sprinter Emanuel Archibald finished eighth in the 200-metre final of the Pan American Games last night in Santiago, Chile, but is optimistic about what lies ahead following a long but successful season.
Two days after earning a bronze medal in the marquee 100m final inside the Julio Martinez National Stadium in the Chilean capital, Archibald, who stated he was tired, clocked a pedestrian 21.38s in the half-lap event.
However, the 28-year-old, who earned a gold medal at this year’s CAC Games in the blue riband 100m, stated last night that this year proved that he has what it takes to become one of the world’s best sprinters.
