Sehlly-Ann Fraser became the world's fastest woman as she led Jamaica to a cleansweep of the medals in the 100 meters final at the Beijing Olympic Games on Sunday.

Fraser clocked 10.78 seconds for the gold, the second fastest time in Olympic history, only after world record holder Florence Griffith Joyner's 10.62 clocked in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Fraser's compatriots Kerron Stewart and Sherone Simpson crossed the finish line in an identical time of 10.98 seconds.

Jamaican sprinters have stole the limelight of the show at the National Stadium, better known as the Bird's Nest, since the athletics competition kicked off.

Usain Bolt stunned the world on Saturday night by running away with the men's 100 meters gold with a shocking world record of 9.69 seconds.
