World Athletics Championships live: 100m finals latest as Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Oblique Seville claim world titles – UK Times

Lyles doesn’t look displeased with bronze at all, another solid result for him.

Kenny Bednarek was fourth, Leotlela fifth from youngster Ajayi and Simbine last.

That was astonishing. Seville falls to the floor before jumping back up, ripping off his shirt, and thumping his chest to the camera, and the Jamaicans in the crowd go wild. Usain Bolt, in the crowd – the last Jamaican man to win this, in 2015 – looks absolutely thrilled.

Thompson and Lyles makes the best start, Thompson storms away, but here comes Seville and he comes around him!

Jamaica are back on top of the men’s 100m! A personal best of 9.77 for Seville!

It’s a Jamaican one-two, Thompson silver in 9.82, and defending champ Lyles takes bronze with a season’s best of 9.89!

Wow, Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo is disqualified, and that was a clear false start. He claps the crowd and heads off quickly, no protests there.

No rest for the wicked as it’s time for the men’s 100m now.

Simbine and 21-year-old Ajayi are in lanes two and three; defending and Olympic champion Lyles is in lane four. Thompson and Bednarek, both much more chilled-out on the start line, are in five and six, Seville and Tebogo in seven and eight, South Africa’s Leotlela on the outside.

That was outstanding by Jefferson-Wooden, an incredibly quick start, and she just powered away. No-one has ever run that quick to win a world championships, and that is the fourth-fastest women’s time ever.

Brilliant by Tina Clayton as well for silver.

Fourth for Jackson and fifth for Richardson, season’s bests for both of them – 10.88 and 10.94 respectively. Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce was sixth, Ta Lou-Smith seventh, Asher-Smith down in eighth in 11.08.
