It was all BLACK, GREEN and GOLD as Jamaica swept the 100-metre medals at the Beijing Olympics on Day 9, with Shelly-Ann Fraser getting the win in a time of 10.78 seconds.
Kerron Stewart and Sherone Simpson will each receive a silver medal after tying at 10.98 seconds.
"It's wonderful. Top 3 for Jamaica [and] history," Simpson said. "This says a lot for our country."
The result also clinches a Jamaican sweep of the fastest track races. Usain Bolt ran a world record 9.69 to take the men's event on Saturday.
