The athletics have arrived at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and the 100m final is the crown jewel of track and field events \u2013 but when is it? <\/p>
There is nothing quite like it in world sport.<\/p>\n
The 100m final at the Olympics is always an electrifying occasion \u2013\u00a0less than 10 seconds of furious energy to crown a superstar. And it\u2019s coming very soon.<\/p>\n
At Tokyo 2020, we are gearing up to see a men\u2019s 100m Olympic champion not named Usain Bolt for the first time since Justin Gatlin triumphed at Athens 2004. History is ready to be made.<\/p>\n
In the women\u2019s final, Jamaican athlete Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce is aiming to become the first woman in history to win three 100m Olympic gold medals, but faces stiff competition from the next generation of stars including Team GB\u2019s fastest woman, Dina Asher-Smith.<\/p>\n
Both finals are set to be spectacular, and mercifully they won\u2019t require an early start given the time difference between the UK and Tokyo.<\/p>\n
