Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
Elaine Thompson continued Jamaica's Olympic sprint monopoly by winning gold in the women's 100m at the Rio Games on Saturday.
The 24-year-old clocked 10.71 seconds to hold off the USA's Tori Bowie, who took silver in 10.83.
"When I crossed the line and glanced across to see I was clear, I didn't know how to celebrate," Thompson said.
Thompson's fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, winner of the previous two Olympic gold medals in the event, had to settle for bronze in 10.86.
Marie-Josee Ta Lou of Cote d' Ivoire was fourth and Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands fifth.
