Jamaican Elaine Thompson-Herah confirmed her place as the Commonwealth’s fastest woman after winning gold in the 100m final on Wednesday evening.
Thompson-Herah won with a time of 10.95 seconds. While Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia took silver.
The two-time Olympic champion had company for the first 50m but accelerated away to beat Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred to the finish line.
Daryll Neita of England finished third in 11.07 seconds.
“Feeling good, I didn’t have the best execution but nevertheless I had to dig for that one but I am still grateful to win my first Commonwealth Games title,” Thompson-Herah said.
