World 100m glory for Campbell in Osaka
Veronica Campbell won the women's 100 meters world title in 11.01 seconds after judges viewed the photo finish.
First Torri Edwards was announced the winner then Lauryn Williams was shown as the World champion and the title finally went to Campbell.
Williams identical time of 11.01 seconds took Silver and another American Carmelita Jete claimed Bronze in 11.02.
"I was very confident - even when we did not know the result of the photo finish - because I know that I have got an excellent top speed and a strong finish.
"This medal means a lot to me and the title is important for my career. The title of world champion was missing in my collection. I have done a lot for that and it was a very competitive race. Now, I just feel great. I have to focus on my 200 meters heats tomorrow." said Campbell who now looks in the short term to the 200m and then to the Beijing Olympics.
