	rediff.com sports: Bring on Jones, says Debbie Ferguson
		Debbie Ferguson of Bahamas says she now has Marion Jones in her sights after she completed the Commonwealth Games sprint double with a runaway victory in Monday's 200 metres final.

		Ferguson's victory almost certainly cemented her place as the outstanding female athlete in Manchester and she could yet win a third gold medal in Wednesday's 4x100 relay where the Bahamas, the reigning Olympic and world champions, are favourites to win if they can keep hold of the baton.
