Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser won the Olympic gold medal in the women's 100 meters on Sunday.

Shelly-Ann Fraser took Olympic gold in the women's 100m, leading home an unprecedented clean sweep for Jamaica.

Fraser finished in a time of 10.78 seconds, with her compatriots Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart sharing the silver medal after a dead heat.

"I'm so excited. I never dreamed this could happen to me," said Fraser.
