 Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser took Olympic gold in the women's 100m, leading home an unprecedented clean sweep for Jamaica in the 100m final in Beijing.
Fraser finished in a season-leading 10.78 seconds, with her compatriots Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart sharing silver medal after a dead heat in 10.98.

Top three for Jamaica -- history," Simpson said. "This says a lot for our country." Fraser's gold medal for Jamaica completed a famous double for the country, coming hot on the heels of Usain Bolt's astonishing performance to win the men's 100m in a new world record. The 21-year-old led from start to finish, and enjoyed a lead of a couple of metres by the time she crossed the finish line. Click on runner at right for more info on Jamaica in Beijing. |
