100 metres, Women

Date	3 – 4 August 2012
Status	Olympic
Location	Olympic Stadium, Olympic Park, Stratford, London
Participants	79 from 65 countries

The race was considered to be between the two Jamaicans, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the defending champion as Shelly-Ann Fraser, and Veronica Campbell-Brown, Olympic champion in 2004 and 2008 at 200 metres, and American, Carmelita Jeter, the 2011 World Champion at 100 metres. American Allyson Felix was an outside shot for a medal but she was far better known as a 200 runner.

The times were quick in the heats and semi as the Olympic Stadium’s Mondo surface lived up to its reputation as a fast track. All four favorites made it to the final, along with the third American, Tianna Madison. Fraser-Pryce had the best start, but Jeter was just behind. By 50 metres those two were running even, but in the final 20 metres, Fraser-Pryce leaned forward as she edged out Jeter by 3/100ths, 10.75 to 10.78. Campbell-Brown completed the podium in third, with Madison fourth, and Felix fifth, although they both set PRs. The race was fast as the best-ever marks-for-place were recorded in 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th.

The victory made Fraser-Pryce only the third woman to defend her Olympic 100 crown, after Wyomia Tyus in 1964-68 and Gail Devers in 1992-96.
