Hyman injured in warm up

Cayman Islands sprinter Hyman felt an intense pain in his abdomen and core after warming up so decided to pull out of his 100 metres semi-final at the London Olympics just before he was due to race.

The Cayman Islands Olympic Committee will make an official statement on Monday after Hyman, 22, has had a full medical examination.

Usain Bolt has won the men’s 100m final at London 2012 in an Olympic record time of 9.63 seconds.

The Jamaican world record holder, 25, powered to victory ahead of compatriot Yohan Blake and American bronze medallist Justin Gatlin.

Bolt did not start well but surged away from Blake and Gatlin from the halfway stage to run the second-fastest time in history.

American Tyson Gay finished fourth at the Olympic Stadium.

Jamaican Asafa Powell pulled up during the race, finishing in 11.99secs, but the other seven runners broke 10 seconds, with three of the first five running personal bests.

Bolt said: “I was happy when I went out in the first round, I felt I could do this. I was slightly worried about my start. It was not the best reaction in the world but I stopped worrying about it and executed it and it worked.

“I said it on the track, people can talk, all they can do is talk. When it comes to championships I bring it. I knew [the crowd] would be like this, I can feel that energy and I am extremely happy.”

Andy Murray captured the biggest title of his career with an emphatic victory over Roger Federer in the Olympic men’s singles final at Wimbledon.

Murray beat the Swiss world number one in straight sets, 6-2 6-1 6-4, on a raucous Centre Court.

The 25-year-old is the first British man to win the Olympic singles gold medal since Josiah Ritchie in 1908.

He had never beaten Federer in a best-of-five-sets match and lost to him in this year’s Wimbledon final.

Murray’s triumph came four weeks to the day since that 6-4 5-7 3-6 4-6 loss to Federer at the All England Club.

“It’s number one for me – the biggest win of my life,” said Murray.

“I have had a lot of tough losses in my career and this is the best way to come back from the Wimbledon final.”
