After winning her heat, Jones tried to console Jamaica's Brigitte Foster-Hylton, who after running the second fastest time in the world this season, failed to qualify after tripping on a hurdle.

She hit the fifth hurdle in her heat, veered toward the inside lane, got off stride and never recovered. She threw herself to the ground after crossing the finish line, slapped the track surface, let out a loud scream, started crying and then brushed aside Jones' attempt to console her.

"The emotions were just outpouring from her," said Jones, who was in the same heat as Foster-Hylton. "Even if she would have punched me, I totally would have understood."
