This is the first time since the 1976 Games in Montreal (when Trinidadian Hasley Crawford took top honours) that a West Indian has brought home the gold in the 100m dash.
Hii ilikuwa ni mara ya kwanza tangu mashindano ya mwaka 1976 kule Motreal (wakati Mtrinidadi Hasley Crawford alipochukua heshima ya juu) kwa Muhindi wa Magharibi kuleta nyumbani dhahabu katika mbio za mita 100.
