Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah clocked 11.05 seconds to win her heat and qualify for the 100m final at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.
Thompson-Herah, who won bronze at the recent World Athletics Championships in Oregon, won Wednesday ahead of Australia’s Zoe Hobbs, who clocked 11.15 to secure the other automatic qualifying spot from the heat.
The double Olympic gold medalist is in Birmingham after finishing behind Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson in a Jamaican 100 at the World Athletics Championships.
She enters the final, which is scheduled for later (3.45pm Jamaica time), with the third fastest time in the heats behind England’s Daryll Neita (PB 10.90) and St Lucia’s Julien Alfred (11.04).
Thompson-Herah’s compatriot Natalliah Whyte is the slowest of the eight qualifiers after clocking 11.17s for fourth in the third and final semi-final.
The other Jamaican – Remona Burchell – crashed out after finishing fourth in the first semi-final in 11.48 seconds.
