Australia’s Lachie Kennedy pipped for 60m gold at world indoor championships
- Queenslander beaten by one-hundredth of a second
- Time of 6.50 seconds is a national indoor record
Young Australian flyer Lachie Kennedy has roared to an historic silver medal win in the 60m at the world indoor championships, but was agonisingly pipped for gold despite a blistering finish in China.
The 21-year-old Queenslander, making a spectacular indoor debut, proved fastest over the final 10m but just couldn’t reel in Britain’s European champion Jeremiah Azu, who won a photo-finish by just one-hundredth of a second on Friday’s opening day in Nanjing.
