Brenes Eliminated From
Competition
Although Limón native
runner, Nery Brenes, ran
a personal best and
national record time of
44.94 seconds, he was
eliminated yesterday
from the Semifinal of
the men's 400 metre race
at the Beijing Olympics.
Brenes finished fourth
in his group, just 0.12
seconds behind the
winner, U.S. runner,
Jeremy Wariner, with a
time of 44.15 seconds.
Wariner and Christopher
Brown of the Bahamas,
both advanced to the
finals.
Brenes was Costa Rica's
best shot at an Olympic
medal, although
Kristopher Moitland may
still take home some
Olympic jewellery in the
taekwondo match on
Friday and mountain
biker, Federico Ramírez,
as he competes on
Saturday.
