Tiffany Porter misses out on 100m hurdles final

Great Britain's Tiffany Porter has failed to reach to the final of the women's 100m hurdles after missing out on a fastest-loser position.

America's Dawn Harper won the first semi-final with a personal best time of 12.46s.

1. Sally Pearson (AUS) 12.39s 2. Dawn Harper (USA) 12.46s 3. Kellie Wells (USA) 12.51s 4. Nevin Yanit (TUR) 12.58s 5. Phylicia George (CAN) 12.65s 6. Jessica Zelinka (CAN) 12.66s 7. Lolo Jones (USA) 12.71s 8. Beate Schrott (AUT) 12.83s
