Jamaica's Jonielle Smith displayed excellent top end speed to upset the Clayton twins, Tina and Tia, in the women's 60 metres at the Bauhaus Indoor meet in Stockholm, Sweden, yesterday.

The twins appeared set for a one-two finish before Smith stormed through in the last 10 metres to grab victory on the line in a meet record 7.12 seconds. Tina and Tia were credited with the same time, 7.14, in second and third, respectively. All three athletes are members of the MVP Track Club.

In the men's 60m World Athletics Championships 100m silver medallist Kishane Thompson had to settle for third in 6.56 behind Great Britain's Romell Glave (personal best 6.51) and his compatriot Jeremiah Azu (6.54).

Thompson, also of the MVP Track Club, was fastest out of the blacks but he was run down at halfway by Glave and Azu.

Jamaica's Danniel Thomas-Dodd claimed a dominant victory in the women's shot put. Thomas-Dodd, in her first competition for the year, threw a meet record and world leading 19.00 metres. Fanny Roos of Sweden was second with 18.46m and Germany's Julia Ritter third with 17.32m.
