New Delhi: Jamaica`s Elaine Thompson pulled off a huge upset on Sunday in the women`s 100m, beating legendary compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
The 24-year-old got off to a flying start and quickly surged to the front to cross in 10.71sec.
Tori Bowie of the United States took silver with 10.83sec while Fraser-Pryce claimed bronze in 10.86.
The win ended Fraser-Pryce`s hopes of a hat-trick of 100m titles after her gold medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games.
