Barbados’ medal hopes on day four of the World Under-20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon, rest with sprinter Jayden Green in the men’s 200 metres.
Green was second in heat one of the semi-finals in 20.46 seconds and will be in lane eight for the final tonight at 11:16 Barbados time.
Meanwhile, Barbadian sprinter Amir Thompson was disqualified after initially crossing the finish line in second place during the third semi-final heat in 20.40 seconds.
Track officials ruled that he violated Technical Rule 17.3.3 for a lane infringement.
