Australian Sally Pearson Wins the 100m Hurdles at Athletics Meet in Austria

Sources confirm that Australian Sally Pearson has claimed victory in the 100m hurdles at the Gugl Games athletics meet in Austria.

Standing second previously at the world championships, this time Sally Pearson has finally won her first 100m hurdles race. She has acclaimed her victory in wet conditions at the Gugl Games meet in Austria.

According to the reports coming in, Pearson has won the race with a recorded time of 12.82 seconds. She ran in the race on Monday night. Her previously recorded time for the race was 12.50 seconds when she won silver after losing the race to American Brianna Rollins in Moscow earlier this month.

But this time at the Gugl Games she was a clear winner. France's Reina-Flor Okori was second in the race by finishing it in 13.17 seconds and German Nadine Hildebrand and American Kellie Wells, both were at third by making their finish in 13.20 seconds.

Pearson had suffered two serious hamstring injuries which led to a belated start from her in the 2013 campaign. She is yet to contest for three more meets in Europe before her return to Australia.

The other winning titles during the event were: Ben St Lawrence at the third position in the 3000m, and Collis Birmingham and Brett Robinson at fifth and 12th respectively.
