World Athletics Championships: Fred Kerley wins men's 100m gold in US clean sweep of medals
Fred Kerley won his first individual World Championship title as he led an American clean sweep of the men's 100m medals on home soil.
On Friday, he set the fastest heat time ever recorded in World Championship history with his 9.79 second effort, but left it late in the final to dip over the line 0.02 seconds ahead of his compatriots. The Italian, a shock winner at the Olympics last year, has struggled with a thigh injury this year and finished second in his heat on Friday.
Poland's Pawel Fajdek won his fifth successive hammer title with a world-leading throw of 81.98m, while China's Wang Jianan took men's long jump gold with a jump of 8.36m on his last attempt.
