Despite the loss of favourite Odane Skeen to injury, his Jamaican compatriot O'dail Scott won the men's 100 final in a time of 10.51, with silver Kazuma Oseto of Japan (10.52), and bronze to France's Michael-Meba Zeze (10.57).

With Todd's win today, Jamaica now holds the male 100m title in all major world events.
