In the 100-meter race, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce leads a Jamaican sweep.

As Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce crossed the line at Hayward Field to win her fifth world title in the 100-meter sprint, she lifted her right hand with her index finger pointing upward. Fraser-Pryce dominated a star-studded race that included the two-time Olympic 100-meter winner Elaine Thompson-Herah, finishing in 10.67 seconds, a world championship record. Fraser-golden Pryce's and green hair was bouncing behind her as she crossed the finish line.
Fraser-Pryce told reporters, "I can't even begin to count the number of times I've experienced setbacks and I've recovered to be back here. "I keep telling myself that sometimes it's not a lack of ability; rather, it's a matter of timing. The time was right today.
Shericka Jackson won silver in 10.73, while Thompson-Herah won bronze in 10.81, making it an expected Jamaican clean sweep.
Jackson, a former 400 meter champion, won his first medal at the solo 100 meter world championship. She won bronze in the 400 meters at the world championships in 2015 and 2019.
Dina Asher-Smith of the United Kingdom came in fourth place in a time of 10.83 seconds, a record for her country. Aleia Hobbs and Melissa Jefferson, two Americans, came in sixth and eighth, respectively.
The 200 will now be the focus of Fraser-Pryce, Jackson, and Thompson-Herah as preliminary heats get off in Eugene, Oregon, on Monday. In the 200, a sweep is less likely, despite Jackson being the favorite because of his year-best time of 21.55 seconds. While Jamaica hasn't won gold in the 200 at the world championships since Fraser-Pryce in 2013, Thompson-Herah did so at the Olympics last summer.
