Sally Pearson delighted with 12.70s race

Sally Pearson was delighted with her form after clocking an Olympic qualifying time in the 100 metres hurdles at the IAAF World Challenge meet in Osaka, Japan on Sunday.

The 32-year-old London Olympic champion finished second but had the same time - 12.70s - as the winner, US indoor champion Sharika Nelvis.

"Legit just walked off the track and into the Drug Testing Room, still trying to catch my breath!," tweeted Pearson.

"But I'm over the moon to clock my fastest 100m hurdles time in over 15 months with an Olympic qualifier of 12.70 (+0.4) one step closer to #Tokyo2020".

Pearson has battled injuries in recent seasons but she led for most of Sunday's race before being pipped on the line.

Fellow Australian Brooke Stratton won the women's long jump with a leap of 6.66m.
