Darrell Brown was inconsolable following his 10.79 effort in Round two of the 100m Heats.Brown pulled up during the race but continued to finish the race literally on one leg his Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Gold dream dashed.

An MRI confirmed the worse fears a torn hamstring will end his active participation in Melbourne.

It is an understatement to say the T&T camp is disappointed.Officials tried to keep a brave face as both Marc Burns and Jacey Harper remained in the Mens 100m fray.

While in the Fana ashby and Ayana Hutchinson have both advanced to the second round in the Women 100m.

The athletics programme got underway in front of 75000 spectators at the MCG.They were treated to a titanic marathon battle as Australian Kerryn McCann and Kenya's Hellen Koskei waged a shoulder to shoulder battle for gold.

McCann prevailed to claim the gold by two seconds.The roar of the 75000 crowd could be heard three miles away.

For T&T however there was little to cheer about as the reality of a Darrell Brownless 100m relay dawned.

Full Results from day four.
