Long yellow and green Jamaican hair, Fraser-Pryce won in 10 sec 67 - never before has anyone run so fast in the world final - ahead of Shericka Jackson (10.73) and Elaine Thompson-Herah (10.81), the double champion Olympic champion in the 100m and 200m.

This fifth world gold medal on the queen race (after 2009, 2013, 2015 and 2019) opens the doors of two hyper select clubs to the one who is nicknamed "Pocket Rocket".

She joins Ukrainian pole vaulter Sergei Bubka, German discus thrower Lars Riedel and Polish hammer thrower Pawel Fajdel among the five-time world champion athletes in the same individual event.

She is thus the first to achieve such a performance on the track.

Fourteen years after Olympic gold

By adding to her five world golds in the 100m, that of the 200m won in 2013, i.e. six individual world titles, she also makes a place for herself alongside Bubka, again, the American icon Michael Johnson and the British cross-country skier Mo Farah .

Only Bolt has done better, with seven world crowns in the 100m and 200m.

Fraser-Pryce is also the exceptional longevity of an athlete who became a mother in the summer of 2017 of a little boy, Zion, and returned to the highest level, hailed by another legend, Allyson Felix.

"35 years old! Mother! 10 sec 67! Fifth world title! It's your evening!!!", tweeted the 36-year-old American, the most decorated athlete in history at the Worlds with 19 medals.

The little Jamaican bombshell is at twelve, including ten in gold.

More ahead than Felix, and two of his compatriots, Bolt and Merlene Ottey, fourteen world medals each.

Above all, his first world title dates back to thirteen years ago (2009).

Better still, the first of his two individual Olympic golds, both won on the straight, goes back fourteen years, in 2008 in Beijing.

At 35, Fraser-Pryce is the oldest 100m world champion in history, women and men alike.

Like at the Tokyo Games

On the track at Hayward Field on Friday evening, she responded, with Thompson-Herah and Jackson, to the American hat-trick achieved over the same distance by American sprinters, led by Fred Kerley, 24 hours earlier.

Never had a nation monopolized the world podium in the women's 100m.

The three Jamaican rockets had however already signed the same performance in the most prestigious of appointments, at the Olympic Games, last summer in Tokyo.

In a different order, with Thompson-Herah ahead of Fraser-Pryce and Jackson.

"1 2 3," Bolt tweeted, accompanying his post with three Jamaican flags.

The other three finals of the evening smiled on the American athletes, who won seven of the nine medals at stake in the 110m hurdles, the men's shot put and the women's pole vault.

Grant Holloway (13.03) retained world gold in the 110m hurdles ahead of Trey Cunningham.

Ryan Crouser took the lead in another US hat-trick, ahead of Joe Kovacs and Josh Awotunde, at weight.

And Katie Nageotte was ahead of Sandi Morris in the number of tries (4.85 m) in the pole vault.
