Kind of a surprise for the great 100m men competition. Lamont Marcell Jacobs from Italy won it with a 9''80 time. First time an Italian wins this race, and first European winner since 1992 (Linford Christie), that's a great performance!

Oh I don't see Italy win the 100m men race often. Congratz to Italy and Europe. I generally expect the US or Asia would win the race.
Yep, everybody thinks of athletes from US or Jamaica to win this competition. For the entire story, this guy's father is American and his mother is Italian. He's born in Texas but moved to Italy when he was less than 2 year old.
In any case, very strong performance, with faster time as the competition advanced (9"94 in first round, 9"84 in semi, and 9"80 in final, which of course becomes new European record)
