The American men swept the medals in the 100 meters at the World Athletics Championships on Saturday night.
Fred Kerley was the gold medalist, out-leaning Marvin Bracy. Kerley's time was 9.86 seconds and Bracey's 9.88 seconds. The bronze medalist was Trayvon Bromell in 9.88 seconds .
Others thought it was crazy, but Kerley knew what he was doing: following a silver medal in the 100 in Tokyo, he sprinted to a 9.76 at the U.S. Championships last month that makes him one of the eight fastest men in history, and now he has Worlds gold. It was the third time in Worlds history a country has swept the men's 100 — the United States also won all three medals in the 1991 and 1983 World Championships.
Italy's Marcel Jacobs, the surprise gold medalist in the event at the Tokyo Olympics last summer, pulled out of the semifinals and did not race. He had looked stiff and like he was laboring on Friday night in the preliminary round. Jacobs had been dealing with an injury this season.
