Veronica Campbell-Brown is the two time Olympic champion at 200 meters, World champion at both the 60 meters indoors and 100 meters, and is in tremendous shape in 2011. Her 10.76 for the 100 meters at the Ostrava meeting showed that her fitness was back and she was ready to roll.
The women’s sprints should be nearly as exciting as the mens, with VCB, Carmelita Jeter and Allyson Felix all in the battle (of course with the other Jamaican women stars)!
