INTERNATIONAL NEWS - French sprinter Jimmy Vicault posted a season-best 100m time of 9.86sec to equal his own European record in Montreuil on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old had clocked 9.99sec at Rome's Diamond League last Thursday, enough to qualify for the August 5-21 Rio Games.

He became co-holder of the European 100m record on July 4, 2015 in Paris when he matched the mark set by Portugal's Francis Obikwelu at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

"I thought I'd put in a big time today. I'm really satisfied with that," said Vicault.
