Paris Olympics: Hurdler John Tolentino keeps medal bid alive
Filipino hurdler John Cabang Tolentino did not secure an outright semifinals berth in the men's 110m hurdles at the Paris Olympics, finishing sixth in his heat with a time of 13.66 seconds.
Tolentino's performance placed him 32nd overall, just missing the automatic qualification spots which are reserved for the top three finishers in each heat and the next three fastest times.
He will now compete in the repechage round on August 6, Tuesday, at 4:50 p.m. for another chance to advance to the semifinals.
Among the notable athletes who qualified directly for the semifinals was Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Grant Holloway, who recorded the fastest time of 13.01 seconds in the opening round.
