The race was a masterclass in acceleration. Anthony seized control at the 40-meter mark, pulling away from a world-class field to shatter his previous legal best. The performance solidifies his transition from a dual-sport collegiate star to a premier global sprint threat.
Courtney Lindsey secured second place in a solid 10.02s, while Sam Blaskowski rounded out the podium with a 10.09s clocking. Zimbabwe’s Tapiwanashe Makarawu narrowly missed the top three, finishing fourth in 10.10s.
With this sub-10 clocking early in the season, Anthony has officially sent a warning shot to the rest of the world. As the 2026 outdoor season heats up, all eyes will be on whether this 9.91s is just the beginning of a historic campaign.
