The third day of the 11th IAAF World Championships proved a very exciting day for Jamaicans as Veronica Campbell once again proved herself a champion bringing home the Gold in the women's 100m in a close photo finish with American Lauren Williams. Fans were left waiting for several minutes for the Official results that eventually gave Veronica the right to grab the Jamaican flag and take her victory lap. Veronica said she knew she had had a great finish but she wasn't really sure if she had really done it. This victory put the Jamaican fans over the moon as they were already celebrating Novelene Williams' leading time in qualifying for the Women's 400m final. 100m Hurdles Women Vonette Dixon, Delloreen Ennis-London and Lacena Golding all qualified for the semi-final round of the women's 100m hurdles.
