In a 100m for the ages, Marvin Bracy had the best start, Fred Kerley had a mediocre start, stayed focus, behind Bracy for 80 meters, Fred Kerley kept his focus and took the race at the very end. Fred Kerley won in 9.86, @braceyaself was silver in 9.88, and Trayvon Bromell took the bronze in 9.88! Oblique Seville in 4th in 9.97, Akani Simbine was 5th in 10.01 and Christian  Coleman, 2019 World Champ, in 6th, in 10.01.

The US sweeps the 100 meters to the delight of the crowd. That is the first time that the US has swept since 1991, the US  also did it in 1983.

Amazing commentating by Rob Walker and Gail Devers (that Gail Devers) on Global TV.

We knew that something was special when 4 Americans moved into the semi-final. Fred Kerley was mellow in the semi-final, after his 9.79 in heat one.

Fred Kerley shocked many in 2021 when he moved to the 100m and 200m, and seemed to shut down in the 400m. It was due to an injury.  He told Stuart Weir, RunBlogRun’s European senior writer that he had not given up the 400m. He was just working on his speed!

After his gold medal performance, Fred Kerley told the mixed zone the following:

“The job is done for today. Next, I’ve got to concentrate on the 200 and then the relay. It felt amazing. I got the work done this time, and the gold medal means more than anything. It’s amazing to do it on home soil with the home crowd behind us. It’s a wonderful blessing to get a clean sweep. I feel we can dominate again at (next year’s) World Championships. We all put the work in, come back home and return again next year. This win means I can do 100, 200, and 400m. I got a medal in 400m and 100m. There’s one only next. I approach the 200m by getting rest today and tomorrow and get the job done Monday morning.”
In the silver medal position is Marvin Bracy. Bracy almost stole the race from Kerley, but Fred Kerley kept his head and ran his race, a lesson for all sprinters. Bracy said:
“It feels great to get my first medal at home and with an American sweep. What else could I ask for. All the hard work has paid off with the injuries, the critics. This shows me I’ve got what it takes to get it done. (1-2-3) To say it is one thing, to do it is another. We knew it was very much possible. It was about three guys getting on the same accord.”
Trayvon Bromell took the bronze medal in the 100 meters. This is what Trayvon had to say:
“It feels good. It’s been seven years since I got a medal through my injuries and everything I dealt with. It’s a blessing. We’re going to keep building for the rest of the season. I want to be a Diamond League champion. We just focus on the next step.”
In this writer’s mind, Fred Kerley can do just about anything. I think he can and should medal in the 200 meters, and with a good hand-off, can lead the US to a gold in the 4×100 meters. We will be waiting, for the 200 meters and the 4×100 meter relay!

Men – 100 meters from World Athletics and LOC 

Statistical Summary

  • Fred Kerley (USA) won the gold medal in 9.86, leading a USA medal sweep with Marvin Bracy getting silver and Trayvon Bromell bronze. The USA also swept the men’s 100 metres in 1983 and 1991.
  • The United States qualified 4 runners for the final, with Christian Coleman finishing 6th. That has only happened twice before – by Jamaica in 2013 and by the USA in 2015.
  • Bromell ran 9.88 in 3rd, the 2nd-fastest 3rd-place mark at the World Championships, after 9.84 by Asafa Powell (JAM) in 2009.
  • Kerley also won bronze in the 400 meters at the 2019 World Championships. He is the only man to win medals in the 100 and 400 meters.
  • This was the 11th gold medal for the USA in the event in 18 editions of the World Championships. Only Kenya, with 13 titles in men’s steeplechase, has won more gold medals in a single event.
  • The medal sweep gives the USA 28 medals in the men’s 100 meters, more than all other nations combined (27) (2 bronzes in 2015).
