Kendra Harrison set a 100m hurdles world record of 12.20sec at the London Diamond League meeting on Friday July 22,2016, relieving some of the pain of her failure to make the US Olympic team.
Kendra Harrison beat the previous record of 12.21sec set by Bulgaria's Yordanka Donkova back on August 20, 1988.
Kendra Harrison,the 28-year-old, who spoke to US journalists in a conference call after her record-breaking run, admitted she let the cut-throat nature of the US trials -- where only the top three finishers book Olympic berths -- get to her.
Kendra Harrison went into the selection meeting as the fastest woman in the world this year -- already threatening Donkova's world mark with a time of 12.24 at the Prefontaine Classic in May.
