Elaine Thompson-Herah set a new Olympic record as she won gold in the women's 100m. Jamaica swept the podium, also taking second and third.

It was a Jamaican clean sweep on the podium with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in second and Shericka Jackson taking the bronze. On a hot, humid night in Tokyo, Thompson-Herah bettered Florence Griffith Joyner's 33-year-old Olympic record of 10.62, while also defending the Olympic title she won in 2016.The celebrations started even before she had crossed the line, pointing with her left arm and screaming in delight. Was Griffith Joyner's world record of 10.

I'm just 29; I'm not 30, I'm not 40. I'm still working." With fans kept away from Olympic events in Tokyo amid the pandemic, the final was held in the near-empty surroundings of the 68,000-seat Olympic Stadium. As athletes were introduced ahead of the race, the stadium lights were turned off and the track was illuminated with the names of each competitor -- a dazzling start to a race that, given the fast times produced in the heats and semifinals, promised great drama.

New is redundant.

What an embarrassment for the USA. Woke athletes and democrats attained their goal, make us a joke.

Steroids maybe? Hmm... this need to be investigated... ijs

not a female body...

She looks incredibly muscular.

That world record will never be broken because it was set by a drug cheat. Never talked about because shes dead but gotta feel for the clean athletes who will never get close to breaking it

I love it what a great achievement👍
