Tebogo, the newly-crowned Olympic 200m champion, clocked 9.87 seconds for victory, the 21-year-old having eased up and looked over at his rivals well before the finish line. &ldquo;This was one of my best 100m races,&rdquo; the Botswanan said. &ldquo;Today I had a great start and it made me think &lsquo;Why did I not have one like this in the Olympic final?&rsquo; &rdquo;&nbsp;
Coleman, who failed to make the US team for the Paris Games, came in second in 9.92sec, with Paris bronze medallist Fred Kerley in third (9.95). Home favourite Marcell Jacobs, who won a shock gold in the Tokyo Games in 2021, finished last in 10.20sec.&nbsp;
