BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE Federation’s sprint legend, Kim Collins, has added yet another medal to his impressive collection when he won bronze yesterday (May 21) in Beijing behind Americans Justin Gatlin and Mike Rodgers, who were first and second respectively.
Running in the 100m final at the IAAF World Challenge held at the National Olympic Stadium in Beijing, Collins clocked 10.11 seconds, Rogers 10.03 and Gatlin with the fastest time for 2014 stopped the clock at 9.87 seconds.

Recently, a number of the Federation’s athletes have been putting in some impressive sprint performances around the world.
