LIMA, Peru — Olympic champion Elaine Thompson breezed into the final of the women’s 100m at the Pan American Games after winning her heat on Tuesday’s opening day of track and field competition in Lima, Peru.

Commonwealth Games champion Michelle-Lee Ahye Trinidad and Tobago won the first heat in 11.37 ahead of Jamaica’s Natasha Morrison (11.59).
