Pearson sizzles on a wet night

WORLD champion Sally Pearson has declared her Olympic intentions early, running the fastest 100-meter hurdles ever on Australian soil in drizzly Melbourne yesterday.

Pearson won 19 hurdles races in a row last year, including her world championship win at Daegu, South Korea, before she tumbled over a hurdle at Brussels in her last race of the season. Three races into her 2012 season, she flew out of the blocks to win in 12.49 seconds at the Australian Olympic trials, her fourth-fastest time. American Yvette Lewis was second in 13.22.
