Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser of Jamaica won the women's 100 meters title at the World Championships here on Monday. Fraser, who won the gold in Beijing in 10.78 seconds, clocked 10.73 for her title. She became the fourth fastest women in history, only after world record holder Florence Griffith-Joyner, Marion Jones, both of the United States, and France's Christine Arron.

Her compatriot and Olympic silver medalist Kerron Stewart finished second again in 10.75. American Carmelita Jeter, bronze medalist two year ago in Osaka 2007, was third in 10.90.

Fraser said the time and win were no surprise for her.

"The victory is no surprise for me and the time of 10.73 neither," she said. "If you look at the time of the semifinal, it was clear that the final was going to be even faster."

Fraser led Heat 1 in 10.79 seconds in the semifinals with Stewart second in 10.84.

Stewart said, "I am satisfied with the silver medal. This is not what I wanted, but I gave everything I had. I am happy to be part of this great race with incredible times."
