Williams, Dacres on show in Stockholm

Published:Saturday | June 9, 2018 | 12:00 AM

Sprint hurdler Danielle Williams is among three Jamaicans who will compete in today's fifth stage of the Diamond League series in Stockholm. The other Jamaicans down to compete are Jura Levy (200m) and Fedrick Dacres (discus).

The consistent Williams, the 2015 100m hurdles champion, will be hoping for more success today following her win in the event three days ago in Oslo in a non-Diamond League event.

Now with points at stake, Williams who sits in fourth position with 11 points, will be seeking another win. Today's line up includes American Brianna McNeil, who also has 11 points.

Dacres who started brilliantly in Rome when scoring a big win in the men's discus, was disappointing in his last outing in Oslo where he placed eighth. He will be hoping for improvement today. He now lies in fourth place on nine points. Lithuania's Andrius Gudzius, who won in Oslo, leads with 15 points.
