On August 4, Beijing time, the track and field competition of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games was held at the Stade de France. In the women's 100m final, 23-year-old rising star Julian Alfred from St. Lucia won the gold medal with a new national record of 10.72 seconds (-0.1 m/s), and the curse of the United States women's 100m not winning an Olympic gold medal since 2000 continued. United States' Richardson was second in 10.87 seconds, and Melissa Jefferson of the United States was third in 10.93 seconds.

【Highlights】

The world record for the women's 100m is 10.49 seconds run by Joyna of the United States in 1988, and the Olympic record is 10.62 seconds set by Jamaica Thompson at the last Tokyo Olympics when he won the gold medal. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Belarus's Nestrenko won the gold medal in 10.93 seconds. Jamaica's Fraser won in 10.78 seconds at Beijing 2008 and defended her title in 10.75 seconds four years later in London. In 2016, Fraser lost to compatriot Thompson at the Rio Olympics and won bronze in the women's 100m in 10.85 seconds. At Tokyo 2021, three Jamaica women took the top three, with Thompson winning in 10.61 seconds and setting a new Olympic record, Fraser finished second in 10.74 seconds and Jackson won bronze in 10.76 seconds.

【Road to Advancement】

In yesterday's women's 100m heats, 35-year-old Ivorian veteran Tallow ranked first overall in the preliminaries in 10.87 seconds, while 37-year-old Olympic legend Frazier of Jamaica was second in 10.92 seconds and United Kingdom's Daryl Netta was third in 10.92 seconds.

In the first group of today's semifinals, 23-year-old Melissa Jefferson of United States won first in 10.99 seconds, Ivory Coast veteran Talo was second in 11.01 seconds, and Switzerland's Kambangi was third in 11.05 seconds. Fraser was originally in the fifth lane of the second group, but she unfortunately retired due to a pre-match warm-up strain. St. Lucia's Julian Alfred was first in 10.84 seconds, followed by United States' Richardson in 10.89 seconds.

In the third group of the semifinals, 20-year-old Jamaica rising star Tia Clayton was first in 10.89 seconds, United Kingdom's Daryl Netta was second in 10.97 seconds, and United States's Terri was third in 11.07 seconds.

【Finals Group】

Eight women advanced to the women's 100m final, including three from the United States and one each from Switzerland, Côte d'Ivoire, Saint Lucia, United Kingdom and Jamaica. Switzerland's Kambangi Lane 2, Ivory Coast's Talo Lane 3, Jamaica's Tia Clayton Lane 4, United States's Melissa Jefferson Lane 5, St. Lucia's Julian Alfred Lane 6, Richardson Avenue 7, Daryl Neta Lane 8, United States's Tridy Lane 9.

【Wonderful Review】

Before the final, it was raining lightly, and there were obvious water trails on the track. Richardson, who was on the 7th road before leaving, also deliberately coiled his hair. Julian Alfred in lane 6 rushed out of the crowd after the start of the race, and several United States players behind him chased all the way but never caught up. Julian Alfred took the lead through the finish line in 10.72 seconds, but Richardson's sprint ability was not on full display, and she finished second in 10.87 seconds. Another United States runner, Melissa Jefferson, finished third in 10.92 seconds.
