00:31repeating in third place.
00:33No changes at the top among the women as Samantha Shukla repeated in a time of 28.55 while Shian

00:43There were loud cheers for Jared Assange on the wheelchair.
00:52All the winners were rewarded with $3,000 in prize money including an all expense paid
00:57trip to run Barbados 2024.
