DEMARIO Prince says a talk with his coach after the first round got his mind back where it was supposed to be, leading him to win the gold medal in the 110m hurdles on Monday’s first day of track and field at the Commonwealth Games at Scotstoun Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland.
Jamaica won two gold medals on the day as, minutes before Prince’s run, Romaine Beckford won the men’s high jump. Beckford’s leap to clear 2.25m brought Jamaica’s second gold in the event at the games and first in 68 years.
Prince, the fourth-straight Jamaican and fifth in the last six editions to win the 110m gold medal, ran 13.17 seconds (0.4m/s) to claim his first major global medal.
