All of Australia breathed a sigh of relief when Sally Pearson, World and Olympic champ, regained her CG title! Running a fine 12.69 in the heats, Sally Pearson ran 12.67 to take the title. A shout of joy and celebration followed as the classy Aussie hurdler showed that one can comeback from injuries at this very competitive level.
