Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Liberia\u2019s 100meter hurdler, Ebony Morrison, has made it through the repechage round and into the semifinal, in an intense photo finish.<\/p>\n

This newly introduced round gives runners a second chance to move forward. The top two women from each heat advanced.<\/p>\n

Morrison played first in her heat and clocked the second fastest time of the morning, 12.82 \u2014 narrowly beating out Ecuador and Finland. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful that they added this second chance round because it allowed me to get my feet wet yesterday and then come back and be able to do better today,\u201d Morrison told Go Team Liberia, after her heat.<\/p>\n

Morrison said a few weeks passed between her previous race and her first heat at the Paris2024 Games. She will move into the finals with Vanessa Caicedo from Ecuador, Marione Fourie from South Africa, Maayke Tjin-a-lim from the Netherlands, Yumi Tanaka from Japan, and Lotta Harala from Finland. All five runners qualified during the repechage round.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next<\/p>\n

Morrison said she\u2019s attacking these Games with a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other approach. On Friday, 9, August, she takes the next step \u2014 the semifinal. She will return to the track at 12:05 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just keep chopping at the tree, that is my motto,\u201d Morrison said. \u201cIf I keep chopping at that tree, even if I\u2019m chopping it with a plastic knife… it\u2019s gone fall, so that\u2019s just what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she prepares for the women\u2019s 100mH semifinal, her message for the Liberian people is simple. \u201cI\u2019m gonna do my best. I\u2019m going against the best in the world, but you know I\u2019m always gonna do my best.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Paris 2024 organizers will assign the heats and lanes closer to the meet.<\/p>\n
