- description: World champion Sally Pearson won the women's 100 metres hurdles in a thrilling blanket finish to give Australia their first gold medal in athletics at the London Olympics on Tuesday. The dominant sprint hurdler of the last two years, Pearson was hot favourite to win gold to add to the silver she won in Beijing four years ago. Rain started pouring down on the stadium as the athletes took to their blocks but 25-year-old Pearson got away to a flying start to take a lead she never relinquished. Americans Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells pushed her all the way, however, and it was the Australian's low dip as she crossed the line in 12.35 seconds that won her gold. Pearson faced a nervous wait before her name flashed up on the scoreboard and she collapsed in a heap on the track in delight when her victory in an Olympic record time was confirmed. "It's a dream," she told reporters. "Relief was the first thing I felt and then shock. I'm just going through the emotions. I really wanted this.
