Tina Clayton’s Diamond tribute

TINA CLAYTON’S victory in the women’s 100 metres at Saturday’s Diamond League Final in Brussels, Belgium, was more than just another major achievement in the young Jamaican sprinter’s rapidly developing career. It was a performance loaded with emotion and significance, coming less than two months after the death of her long-time coach Stephen Francis. Clayton rose to the occasion at the King Baudouin Stadium, producing a winning performance to claim her first Diamond League Final title and add another major accomplishment to an already-impressive career.
