How did Carmelita Jetar go?

Here's the final of the women's 100m sprint final. 



Carmelita Jetar finished in second place with a time of 10.78 seconds, a seasonal best from her.  She is the third fastest woman alive behind the current world record holder Florence Griffith-Joyner with a time of 10.49 seconds which was set in 1988.  The winner of the 100m final is Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has the fourth fastest time in history.  There is however some controversy over the world record due to some scepticism over the measurement of the tail wind speed.
