Men's 100m final - 100 m hommes finale |
 |
Maurice GREENE lead a United States clean sweep in the men's 100m final in 9.82, the world's fastest time this year, but suffered an injury in the last stages of the race. Tim MONTGOMERY was second in 9.85, ahead of Bernard WILLIAMS in 9.94 a personal best.
|
The Olympic champion and world record holder exploded from the blocks and led throughout the race, battling Olympic silver medallist Ato BOLDON (TRI) and a fast finishing MONTGOMERY, ranked number one in the world before Edmonton with 9.84, who had a false start against him.
|
Five metres before the finish, 1997 bronze medallist MONTGOMERY came very close to the defending champion who displayed a slight grimace at this stage and limped heavily upon finishing.
|
The race started on the fourth attempt after Kim COLLINS (SKN), BOLDON and MONTGOMERY had false started.
|
BOLDON faded in the last stages to finish fourth in 9.98. Dwain CHAMBERS (GBR), bronze medallist from Seville, was the final athlete under ten seconds running a season's best of 9.99, in fifth place.
|
Olympic finalist COLLINS finished sixth in 10.07 ahead of 1998 world junior champion Christian MALCOLM (GBR) in a personal best of 10.11 and Olympic finalist Zakari ABDUL AZIZ (GHA) in 10.24.
|
GREENE's injury forced him to walk awkwardly on the victory lap. |

Men's 100m Semi-finals-100 m h. demi-finales |
 |
Yesterday's blistering times were put into some perspective this afternoon as a headwind restricted the men's 100m semi-finals to 10-second-plus running. The fastest time, and most impressive performance, again came from defending champion Maurice GREENE, who clocked 10.01 into a 1.2m/s headwind to win the first heat from his training partner Ato BOLDON.
|
After one false start by BOLDON, it was he, GREENE and Kim COLLINS of St Kitts and Nevis who got out of the blocks quickest. GREENE began to get clear at after 50 metres and drew away over the second half of the race. With a lead of some two metres, the world record holder was able to ease up in the final 10 metres and still cross the line comfortably ahead.
|
BOLDON and COLLINS clocked the same time, 10.12, with Ghana's African champion Abdul Aziz ZAKARI claiming the fourth qualifying spot from lane one in 10.17. World junior champion Mark LEWIS FRANCIS (GBR) was a disappointed non-qualifier in fifth, recording 10.26, well below the windy 9.97 he clocked in the quarter-finals.
|
GREENE's compatriots, Bernard WILLIAMS and Tim MONTGOMERTY crossed the line virtually together in the second semi-final, clocking the second and third fastest times of the round, 10.06 and 10.07 respectively, again into a headwind, of 1.7m/s. World bronze medallist Dwain CHAMBERS of Great Britain was marginally behind them in third, recording 10.10, while his teammate Christian MALCOLM grabbed the fourth qualifying spot from lane eight, in 10.24.
|
Neither of Canada's two favourite sprinting sons, Donovan BAILEY and Bruny SURIN, made it to the final. These two are among the four fastest men in history, all of whom were running in the semis, but BAILEY was sixth in heat one and SURIN eighth in heat two. BAILEY took a lap of honour to thank his Canadian fans, while an injured SURIN hobbled across the line. |

Men's 100m quarter finals - 100 m h. quart finale |
 |
The quarter finals of the men's 100m produced a series of blistering times, a clutch of national records, personal bests, and a world junior record as, first, USA champion Tim MONTGOMERY and then world record holder Maurice GREENE vied to stamp their authority on the event. Amazingly, all five heats were won in sub-10 times but, as there were no wind readings available, the status of the record times is still to be decided.
|
MONTGOMERY claimed yesterday that he would produce "something special" in the second round and the year's fastest man was good to his word. He blazed from the blocks in the first heat and flew to 9.92, pulling Kim COLLINS of St Kitts and Nevis to a national record of 10.00 and Nigeria's Uchenna EMEDOLU to a personal best of 10.06. A national record of 10.09 for Troy DOUGLAS of the Netherlands in fourth place was just good enough to give him the one fastest loser place in tomorrow's semi-finals.
|
GREENE isn't going to give up his title easily though, and responded immediately to the challenge, winning the next heat with his best time of the year, 9.88. In second place behind him was his training partner Ato BOLDON (TRI) and former Olympic champion Donovan BAILEY. BAILEY produced another season's best, 10.11, to qualify automatically and delight the small Canadian crowd.
|
The super sprinting continued in the third heat when Britain's world junior champion Mark LEWIS-FRANCIS smashed the world junior record, running 9.97 ahead of Olympic bronze medallist Obadele THOMPSON of Barbados, who ran a season's best 10.03. Canada's world silver medallist Bruny SURIN also ran a season's best, 10.11, followed by a national record of 10.21 for Tommi HARTONEN of Finland in fourth placce.
|
Britain's Dwain CHAMBERS, having just seen his world junior record eclipsed by his young team-mate, won the fourth heat in 9.97, equalling his best ever, while Bernard WILLIAMS of USA took the fifth heat in 9.95, completing a most incredible round of world class sprinting.

Men's 100m Round 1 - 100 m h. 1er tour |
 |
Olympic silver medallist Ato BOLDON of Trinidad clocked the fastest time of the first round in the men's 100m, as he blasted to 10.13 in the final heat on Saturday morning. An angry BOLDON said afgterwards that he had had to run in spikes that were a size too small because officials wouldn't allow him to run in his normal shoes.
|
Just behind him in the same heat was former world record holder Donovan BAILEY, who delighted the home crowd by running a season's best of 10.20 before disappearing to get treatment on his troubled knee.
|
BAILEY may have raised the loudest cheer of the morning,but current world record holder Maurice GREENE began his world title defence in ominously relaxed style.
|
GREENE endured two false starts in heat five before getting his 2001 campaign underway. He cruised out of the blocks, built up a healthy lead, then spent the second half of the race looking around. He almost jogged over the line for a safe 10.33.
|
Canada's 1999 World Championships silver medallist Bruny SURIN also raised a cheer from the thin crowd as he mirrored GREENE's performance almost exactly. Like GREENE he get through a number of false starts - during which Cuba's Freddie MAYTOLA was disqualified - before he too cruised to qualification. Like the world record holder he eased off in the final 30 metres, looking left and right as he slowed across the line in 10.28.
|
The day's second fastest qualifier for this evening's quarter finals was Nigeria's Uchenna EMEDOLU, the only man other than BOLDON to run under 10.20 this morning. He won heat nine in 10.18, ahead of world junior record holder Dwain CHAMBERS who clocked a comfortable 10.27.
|
The third fastest heat of the day was won by GREENE's USA teammate and training partner Bernard WILLIAMS who clocked 10.20, ahead of former world junior champion Christian MALCOLM of Great Britain (10.24). The current world junior champion - Mark LEWIS-FRANCIS, also of Britain - sailed through in heat eight, from which USA's Curtis JOHNSON was a surprise non-starter.
|
JOHNSON was injured at the Herculis Grand Prix meeting in Monaco two weeks ago and decided to pull out of the championships just 45 minutes before his race.
|
Just one national record fell, to Somalia's Mohd ROACHE who ran 10.78 to finish sixth in heat nine. |
