Jamaica's Elaine Thompson stormed to victory in the women's 100m here Saturday to end the Olympic reign of compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
Thompson, 24, got off to a flying start and quickly surged to the front to cross in 10.71sec, punching the air and embracing training partner Fraser-Pryce at the finish.
Tori Bowie of the United States took silver with 10.83sec while Fraser-Pryce claimed bronze in 10.86.
Thompson had the fastest winning time in an Olympic 100m final since Florence Griffith-Joyner's 10.54 in Seoul 1988. It was also the first time seven runners dipped below 11 seconds in a major race.
