Dominican long jumper David Registe and long-distance runner David Corriette don’t move to the next round

David Registe

Dominican long jumper David Registe missed out on a spot in the next round. Registe jumped 7.40 meters in his first attempt, 7.25 in his second before jumping 7.59 meters in his third and final attempt. A leap of 7.90 meters would have earned Registe an automatic spot in the next round. The jump of 7.59 meters was good enough for 14th place, unfortunately only the top 12 jumpers qualified for the next round.
 
Meantime, the Dominica Olympic Media team has informed Q95 news, long distance runner David Corriette also found the going tough in the men’s 800[meter event. Corriette who arrived in Australia only a day before due to school commitments in the United States, felt the effects of the jet lag, and despite his valiant effort, he finished 8th in heat 2, with a time of 1:57:79 (one minute, 57.79 seconds.

Meanwhile, 200 meters specialist Mitchell Davis was plagued by a knee injury during his 200-meter heat last night and ran what he described as the worst race of his career, in the 6th heat of the Men’s 200 meters at the commonwealth games.
 
Davis ran a disappointing 21.75 seconds way off his personal best to finish in 4th place in the heat, failing to qualify for the next round.
 
Davis says he was extremely disappointed with the result.
