Young Bulgarian sprinter Ivet Lalova, who came out fourth in the Olympic 100 m, said that qualifying for the finals was big enough success.

The 20-year-old is an Olympic first-timer.

She said she was now eying the 200 m run. According to the Bulgarian hopeful, her young age meant that greater successes were still to come.

In Saturday's finals, Lalova recorded her best so far result at the Olympics clocking 11.04 sec for 100 m.

Belarus' Julia Nesterenko surprisingly landed the gold medal, running the finals for 10.93 sec.
