Gold medal favorite Lolo Jones of the USA was the picture of anguish after finishing the 110m sprint hurdles in 7th place in Beijing.
The world indoor champion was heavily favored coming in, and looked to be winning until an error which caused her to clip the second last hurdle ending her dreams of gold.
The error opened things up for Canada’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep and Australia’s Sally McLellan, giving Canada and Australia their first track medals since 1996 and 2000 respectively.
