 The very next day on 17 August was the final of the women's 100 m. Four Jamaicans had made the final (Aleen Bailey, Shelly-Ann Fraser, Kerron Stewart and Veronica Campbell-Brown) and although the possible 1-2-3-4 failed to materialise Shelly-Ann Fraser sprinted to World gold in 10.73 seconds breaking the great Merlene Ottey 13-year-old national record.Kerron Stewart closed quickly in final stages to get her first World Championship silver in 10.75 seconds equalling her personal best.This meant that after day 3 of the Championships Jamaica were top of the medal table.
