Australia’s Lachlan Kennedy claimed silver in a national record 9.85s, while Nigeria’s Kanyinsola Ajayi took bronze in 9.90s. South Africa’s Gift Leotlela finished fourth in a season’s best 9.91s.
The reigning African champion produced a powerful late surge to overhaul the field and secure Cameroon’s first Commonwealth Games gold in the event.
