In a remarkable display in the world championships final of the 100m hurdles, the queen of Australian athletics didn't just win the gold medal, she obliterated her opposition.
After breaking her own Australian record in the semi-finals 90 minutes earlier, Pearson did it again and kept her unbeaten run this year going by taking victory in 12.28sec, the fourth fastest time in history. American pair Danielle Carruthers and Dawn Harper collected silver and bronze, both being timed with personal best times of 12.47sec.
