KELLI WHITE of the United States became the first woman since East Germany’s Katrin Krabbe in 1991 to clinch the world championship sprint double when she won the women’s 200 metres title in Paris last night.

ON a day when controversy threatened to take over, there was double joy for Irish sprinters at the European championships in Munich last night.

JAMIE COSTIN will get the Irish to the Olympic Stadium early this morning when he lines up for the 50k walk (8.05 am Irish time).
