AGONY: SIMBINE FINISHES JUST OUTSIDE THE MEDALS
- Wesley Botton
PIPPED YET AGAIN

»Former Olympic champion Wayde van Niekerk will line up in the 200m heats in Paris this evening.

Sprinter Akani Simbine narrowly missed out again last night, as he was edged into fourth place in the men's 100m final at the Olympic Games in Paris.

Simbine clocked 9.82 second, breaking his own South African record (9.84). He crossed the line just 0.01 behind American bronze medallist Fred Kerley (9.81), while world champion Noah Lyles of the US won gold in 9.79.

After he finished fifth at the 2016 Rio Games and fourth in Tokyo three years ago, it was the third successive Olympics that Simbine finished in the top five in the 100m final without a medal.
