CBC Sports: France's Arron keeps Golden League jackpot hopes alives (403 words)
Arron remained in contention for a $1-million US jackpot, winning her third straight 100-metre race in the Golden League on Friday.
While Arron was celebrating her victory at the meet in Oslo, Norway, Lashinda Demus watched her shot at the top prize disappear when she stumbled near the finish line and finished third in the 400-metre hurdles.
Arron's fought through some problems midway through her race to win in a time of 11.06 seconds and beat Americans Lauryn Williams and Latasha Colander.

Arron's hopes of at last landing an elusive global individual title started well here as she breezed through to the second round of the 100m at the World Athletics Championships.
Arron looked impressive as she fielded the hardest heat coming home in 11.15sec ahead of last year's surprise Olympic champion, who is almost making a guest appearance here having only raced once this season, finishing seventh back in June in Oregon.
Probably Arron's major rival for the title Chandra Sturrup showed she could do anything as well as the Frenchwoman as the veteran Bahamian charged home in a similar time to alert the French girl that the 33-year-old bronze medallist - a former training partner of Marion Jones - from 2003 is a real threat.
