Event:	Gold:		Silver:		Bronze:
100 m	Tyson Gay United States	9.85	Derrick Atkins Bahamas	9.91 NR	Asafa Powell Jamaica	9.96
100 m	Powell got the best start and led the race halfway through, but Gay caught up and ran past Powell with some 30 meters left, being able to hold up his top speed longer. Powell seemed to get tense in the end and admitted to giving up when he realised he was out of contention^[1], as even Atkins ran past him in the last moments of the race.

1500 m	In a race marked by the absence of Portuguese Athlete Rui Silva, probably the only European who could challenge the African supremacy, Kenyan-born Bernard Lagat won the race ahead of defending champion Rashid Ramzi who made a tacticaly bad race.

10,000 m	Zersenay Tadese set a fast pace for most of the race (because he knew he could not outsprint Bekele, according to SBS commentators), gradually reducing the pack to 4. Mathathi took the lead with two laps to go, and Tadese fell back to finish fourth. The two Ethiopians went past Mathathi at the bell, with Bekele sprinting away in the last 100m to win his third consecutive title.
Marathon	Luke Kibet Kenya	2:15:59	Mubarak Hassan Shami Qatar	2:17:18	Viktor Röthlin Switzerland	2:17:25
Marathon	Kenyan William Kiplagat, who had held a medal position for much of the race, faded badly to finish 8th, in a race where 57 out of 94 starters finished. Swiss Röthlin ran a well-paced race to take a surprise medal. Eritrean Yared Asmerom, along with three Japanese athletes, were unlucky to finish without medals, despite well-timed surges. Japan won the World Cup race, with Korea and Kenya also picking up medals in the team event.

Ohuruogu surprised the field to take the gold medal with a personal best, just 24 days after her 12 month suspension for missing three out-of-competition doping tests expired. ^[2].
