Trinidad and Tobago's Akanni Hislop placed fourth in the Men's 200m A final when the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games continued at the Nanjing Olympic Sport Centre Stadium yesterday.

The T&T athlete clocked 21.57 seconds out of lane two as USA's Noah Lyles powered away for the victory in 20.80. Jamaica's Chad Walker, who was second across the finish line in 21.19 seconds,  was disqualified and that promoted Botswana's Boboloki Thebe to silver (21.20) and Chinese Taipei's Chun-Han Yang (21.31) to the bronze medal position in a race in which Italy's Filippo Tortu did not start. Hislop, who was fifth across the line,  also benefitted to move up one spot to fourth.

On Saturday his T&T teammate, female hurdler Jeminise Parris finished fifth in the A finals of the Women's 100m hurdles.

And in sailing, after three straight days of no racing because of a lack of wind, 15-year-old Abigail Affoo placed 17th in today's race at Jinniu Lake which was run in five knots of wind and heavy fog. Affoo finished 28th overall in the Women's One Person Dinghy.
