Queen Javine

Day 8, 24-Mar-06


Javine was announced as winner before she even set foot on the track.

She only needed to take second place in her strongest event, the 100m sprint, to claim the crown as the highest-scoring female in Games history.

Flanked by Michelle to her left and Julia to her right, she powered straight from the blocks to make the race her own and establish a new Games record of 14.08 - a full half a second clear of her closest rival.

Julia turned in a powerful performance, coming up the inside lane within a whisker of the victor, but it was Michelle who rose to the challenge and recovered from her no throw in the Hammer with a superb second place - collecting the Bronze medal in the process.

Javine was delighted, crowing: "It's a lifetime's ambition. When I was younger I wanted to be an athlete, and this is a dream."

Silver-medallist Julia conceded that her opponent was just too good, saying: "Javine's in a different league, she outclassed us."

Now only one target remains - to do it all again tomorrow night and become the Champion of Champions.
