Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran her seventh sub-10.8 100m time this season, smashing Merlene Ottey’s 25-year-old meet record as she brought the curtain down on her season at the Gala del Castelli Meeting in Switzerland on Tuesday.
The Tokyo Olympics 100m silver medalist destroyed a decent field to win 10.78 more than 0.2 seconds clear of Majinga Kambundji, who ran 10.99 and Ajla del Ponte, who clocked 11.11 before their home crowd.
In winning, the Pocket Rocket, who now has 22 times faster than 10.8 seconds, broke compatriot Merlene Ottey’s meet record of 10.95 that was set back in 1996.
Olympic 800m finalist Natoya Goule was also a winner on the night, dominating the field to win in 1:58.20. Goule was more than a second faster than second-placed Chanelle Price of the United States, who clocked 1:59.75 and third-placed Lovisa Lindh, who ran 1:59.94.
Meanwhile, Christopher Taylor ran a decent 45.70 to finish third in the 400m.
Jochem Dobber of the Netherlands won the event in 45.38 while the USA’s Vernon Norwood was second in 45.31.
