Abrams produces season best in 400m but fails to qualify

Aliyah Abrams 

– to get second shot in Repechage today

Guyana’s sole remaining athlete at the Olympic Games in Paris, France, Aliyah Abrams produced a season best performance yesterday in the Heats of the Women’s 400m but finished fifth in her heat and thus did not book progression to the semi-finals.

However, the quarter-miler will have another bite at the cherry today in the Repechage round. 

The repechage is a contest in which the best-placed of those who failed to win heats compete for a place in the next round.
