Robles beats Brathwaite

Barbadian hurdler Ryan Brathwaite suffered his second straight defeat on the European circuit, losing to former world record holder Dayron Robles in Sotteville, France, yesterday.
Brathwaite was second in the men’s 110 metres hurdles in 13.24. Robles won in 13.18 seconds. Omo Osaghae of the United States was third in 13.35 seconds.
Last Saturday in Paris, Brathwaite finished fifth in the field that included world record holder and Olympic champion Aries Merritt and World champion Jason Richardson.
