jeterTHESSALONIKI, Greece —

American Carmelita Jeter showed that she really did have an off day at the World Championships in Berlin when she clocked a magnificent 10.67seconds in a slight headwind to win the women’s 100m at the World Athletics Final here on Sunday.

Jeter, who has won every single race since losing to the Jamaicans in Berlin, finished with a super closing metres to overtake the rocket starting Shelly Ann Fraser, the woman who beat her for the world title last month.

The American might not have won the world title, but she proved that she is indeed the female sprint of the summer over this event, as she moved to number three on the all-time list.

"I couldn’t believe the time. It didn’t feel that fast but I will take it," said Jeter.

"It might be touchable now," she said. "I didn’t even know I would come out and do that time today but with a little bit more work under my belt I should go a lot faster."

Only Americans Florence Griffith Joyner, the world record holder in the evnt and the disgraced Marion Jones has gone faster .

Fraser was a distant second in 10.89secs with Stewart taking third in 10.90. Bahamian Chandra Sturrup finished fourth in 11.17, just ahead of Jamaican Sherone Simpson, at 11.20.

THESSALONIKI, Greece —

Jamaican sprint sensation Usain Bolt powered around the bend and then cruised home in his very own way to win the men’s 200m by a daylight at the IAAF World Athletics Finals on Sunday.

After some pre-race dancing with his good pal American Wallace Spearmon, who he left in his dust, the world and Olympic champion showed his supremacy over the sprint events in what was his final race in yet another remarkably season.

The winning run of 19.68seconds by Bolt equalled the meeting record of American Tyson Gay, who only contested the 100m at the meeting.

"I am still very tired, but I said I was going to come out here and do my best and that’s what I did," Bolt said.

"This is my last race. I am going home now," he added.

Finishing behind the world record holder was Spearmon in a distant 20.21 and Antigua’s Brendan Christian, at 20.65.

Melaine_walkerTHESSALONIKI, Greece —

Melaine Walker won her second World Athletics Final 400m hurdles title by a wide margin on Sunday when she ran away from a strong field to set a meeting record.

The Jamaican world and Olympic champion clocked 53.36seconds to lead a Caribbean sweep, as her fellow countrywoman Kaliese Spencer and Trinidad & Tobago’s rising star Josanne Lucas finished second and third, respectively.

"I never expected such a fast time today because I am really tired," said Walker, who broke away from the field with 150m to go in the race. "But every time I step on the track I always try to do my best."

Spencer, a finallist at the Berlin World Championships last month came home second in 53.99 with Lucas, the Berlin bronze medal winner taking third in 54.31.

American world silver medallist Lashinda Demus, who was a very strong candidate to challenged Walker for the top honours took only two strides before limping out of the race.
