The world’s fastest woman will be crowned tonight, as the semifinals and finals of the Olympics women’s track and field 100m will take place at João Havelange Stadium in Rio.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is chasing history as she bids to become the first athlete to win the gold medal for the third time, having won at Beijing 2008 and London 2012. Among those looking to upsurp Fraser-Pryce is her Jamaican teammate Elaine Thompson.
US champion English Gardner also has a reasonable chance to become the first American to win the Olympic gold medal since Atlanta 1996 (Gail Devers). Americans Tianna Bartoletta- who is also the world long jump champion- and Tori Bowie are also medal contenders.
