The women's 100 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, U.S. on 16 and 17 July 2022.[1]

Summary

As she has done for most of the previous 13 years Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was off to a fast start, with Marie-Josée Ta Lou also out fast. By 30 metres, only Shericka Jackson was still close, Ta Lou fading to join a line across the track made up of Dina Asher-Smith, Mujinga Kambundji and two time Olympic Champion Elaine Thompson-Herah. Fraser-Pryce continued to open up space until about 20 metres out when Jackson was able to make a little headway on the sizable lead, but it was too little, too late. Thompson-Herah edged ahead of Asher-Smith to take bronze.[2] With seven women going sub-11 seconds, this was the fastest 100m final in the World Championships history.

Just as in the Olympics, the same three athletes from Jamaica swept the medals, but in a different order. Now 35 years old, Fraser-Pryce equalled her own Masters World Record with a 10.67, while claiming an unprecedented fifth World Championship in the same event.
