RECORDS
The 100m Dash is one of the most well-known and enjoyed Olympic Events in history. When I think of the 100m Dash, the first words that come to mind are USAIN BOLT. Usain Bolt a Jamaican born sprinter is currently the fastest man in the world.

He broke the 100m dash-world record,(set by Osafa Powell, another Jamaican in September last year) at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York for the first time. Then in the final of the 100m dash in Beijing, Usain (Thunderbolt) Bolt broke the world record again to make his winning time an amazing 9.68 seconds.
Although Usain Bolt broke the world record twice for the men's 100m dash, he was not the only star of the 100m Dash.

THE MEDAL WINNIERS
Shelly-Anne Fraser was the women's gold medalist, clocking her own personal best in 10.78 seconds, and was yet another Jamaican. The athletes who placed 2ND and 3rd were also Jamaicans.

The previous Olympic (Athens) gold medalist (although he did not set a new record) for men's 100m dash was Justin Gatlin from U.S.A.

The one before him in Sydney was Maurice Greene (USA).

The previous Olympic (Athens) gold medalist for women's 100m sprint was Yuliya Nesterenko a 25 year old (at the time) from Belarus.

The gold medalist before that in Sydney, was Marion Jones a 25 year old (at the time) from America, completely wasting everyone else, unfortunately she was tested positive for steroid use, and was then stripped of her gold medal.
