Jamaica Athletics Invitational 2024 Final Results: Alexis Holmes wins gold in women's 400m, Fred Kerley settles for silver in 200m

The Jamaica Athletics Invitational is done and dusted with, but not before fans at the National Stadium in Kingston got to witness some thrilling action. With 14 different events and athletes across all of them prepping for the fast approaching Paris Olympics, race results saw some impressive times, with a few surprise wins.

Like in most track and field competitions, the most anticipated events at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational were the men's and women's 100m. The races certainly didn't disappoint, with Julian Forte and Ackeem Blake tying for first with a time of 10.02 seconds. Behind them in third was Brandon Hickling, who clocked 10.09 seconds.

Meanwhile, in the women's 100m race, it was Marie-Josée Talou-Smith who took gold in a dominant fashion. The only one in the field to dip below the 11 second mark, she clocked 10.91 seconds for her win. Joining here on the podium were Krystan Koley and Kemba Nelson.

Elsewhere at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational, American women absolutely dominated the women's 400m race. Alexis Holmes was the one who stormed onto the top of the podium, and she was joined by compatriots Brittany Brown and Na'asha Robinson.

Meanwhile, the men's 200m saw Britain’s Zharnel Hughes clinch the gold. In second-place behind him was America's Fred Kerley, with Pablo Mateo rounding out the podium. Surprisingly enough, 60m World Indoor Champion Christian Coleman missed out on the top three altogether, instead settling for fifth.
