JAMAICA’s Lerone Clarke made the most of Usain Bolt’s & Asafa Powel's absence to claim the Commonwealth Games 100m gold medal.
Clarke, the only man in the final to have broken 10 seconds in the past two years, dipped over the line in 10.12 to capitalise on world record holder Bolt and fellow Jamaican, defending champion Asafa Powell, choosing not to compete.
It was a powerful run in hot and humid conditions but, ultimately, very slow and a long way off Ato Boldon’s Commonwealth record of 9.88 and even further behind Bolt’s 9.58 world record.
I realised the stadium was half empty. Damn, it's 100M finals and no crowd were there. Compared to malaysia in 1998, the stadium was packed like sardin.
