American Tori Bowie produced a sensational run in the final of the 100m to win gold narrowly beating Marie-Josee Ta Lou.
Bowie looked in good form during the semi-finals and although Ta Lou got off to the better start she came back superbly to win in a time of 10.85s.

The finish couldn't have been closer but a fantastic dip on the line gave Bowie the victory over the impressive Ta Lou who will still be thrilled with her silver medal.
"I had no idea [I'd won]. All I knew is I left everything on the line," said Bowie after the race.
he shock of the night was that Olympic champion Elaine Thompson was nowhere as she started poorly and simply couldn't recover.
Just like compatriot Usain Bolt last night she couldn't live up to her pre-race billing.
