Following her shock exit from the women’s 100 metres when she was disqualified in the second round for a false start, Sri Lanka’s sprint queen Susanthika Jayasinghe will make a determined bid to overcome that disappointment when she faces the starter in the women’s 200 metres first round today at 7.10 a.m. (Sri Lanka time).
Jayasinghe is the sole entrant for her country at the 11th IAAF World Athletics championships in Osaka, Japan.
