Werro led from the start, outrunning British Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson and Dutch former world 400m hurdles champion Femke Broeders-Bol. American sprinter Melissa Jefferson-Wooden claimed gold in the women's 100m final, edging out world champion Julien Alfred by just one-hundredth of a second. Usain Bolt watched on as Kenny Bednarek secured victory in the men's 100m, earning a prize of US$150,000. Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt was an onlooker for Bednarek's victory. Bednarek followed this up by winning gold in the 4x100m relay event.
