Jamaican clean sweep in Women's 100m

Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser won the gold medal in the Women's 100m with a personal best time of 10.78 seconds at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

Fraser led from the start to finish, well clear of her compatriots Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart, who won silver together in identical times of 10.98s.

Silver medalist Sherone Simpson commented on the Jamaican clean sweep of the medals, "We made history. Just like yesterday Bolt , Jamaica] set a new world record. We are all great athletes and I'm very excited about the tremendous achievement we've made for our country."

"The guys should have done it too; they had the speed to," teased Stewart.
