Olympics: Female 100 metres

Gold: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Jamaica
Silver: Carmelita Jeter, United States
Bronze: Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jamaica

Our own Blessing Okagbare had a poor start and could not catch up till the end.
Jamaica's proud sprinting tradition continued in London as the country took two medals in the women's 100 meters.





Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce took gold in the event for the second consecutive Olympics, and Veronica Campbell-Brown took bronze, just as she did eight years ago in Athens.
American Carmelita Jeter took silver and her teammate, track star Allyson Felix, ended up in fifth place.
