Antigua and Barbuda’s Darion Skerritt saw his 200m journey at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo come to an early end after calf discomfort prevented him from advancing to the finals.
Skerritt, who entered with a personal best of 20.67 seconds, was drawn in the sixth and final heat. Despite feeling tightness in his calf muscles during warm-ups, he opted to compete after experiencing some relief on the way to the call room.
Unfortunately, the pain resurfaced at the start of the race, forcing him to finish eighth.
The Antigua and Barbuda Athletic Association has extended well wishes to Skerritt, expressing confidence in his return for the 2026 season.
