Melissa Jefferson-Wooden capped a dominant season by smashing the women’s 100m world title in a scorching 10.61 seconds—the fastest time ever at Worlds! 🏃💨 Her maiden global gold not only set a new championship record but also catapulted her to fourth on the world all-time list.
Hot on her heels was Jamaica’s rising star Tina Clayton, 21, who grabbed silver, while Olympic champ Julien Alfred of St. Lucia claimed bronze. The podium showdowns had us all on the edge of our seats! 🎖️
In a tear-jerking moment, 38-year-old sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran her final 100m world championships race, clocking 11.03 seconds. She left the track to a standing ovation—an epic farewell for someone who dominated this event five times since 2009. 👏❤️
And it wasn’t just Jefferson-Wooden stealing the spotlight. Seville also struck gold in his event, adding another highlight to an already electric meet. 🥇
From jaw-dropping speed to emotional goodbyes, this year’s championships delivered all the feels—proof that track and field is still the ultimate adrenaline rush. Who else can’t wait for next season?
