Oregon

In one of the most anticipated events of the World Athletics Championships, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce stormed to victory to claim 100m gold in Oregon in a new championships record.

The reigning World Champion lead Jamaican podium sweep, as Shericka Jackson claimed silver and Elaine Thompson-Herah settled for bronze.

This the fifth championship gold for the 35-year-old Jamaican sprint queen.

She was in a style of her own as she set a time of 10.67 to record back-to-back world crowns.

Fraser-Pryce has been in superb form this season, having posted the fastest time of the year. However, she faced challenges from her Jamaican teammate Thompson-Herah, who won the 100 and 200m races at Tokyo 2020 after doing the same at Rio 2016.

Fraser-Pryce once again proved her class in a stacked field that also included Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith who finished fourth and home favourites Aleia Hobbs and Melissa Jefferson.
