After finishing sixth in the 100m final at the Rio Olympics, Ben Youssef Meité (CIV) capped off the MEETING de PARIS in style by winning the high-profile sprint in an impressive time of 9:96 seconds, equalling the Ivoirian record in the process. South Africa’s Akani Simbiné, who finished fifth in Rio, came in second (10:00), while Dutchman Churandy Martina (who was eliminated in the heats at the Olympics), put in a season’s best effort to finish third in 10:01. France’s Jimmy Vicaut finished fifth in 10:12. His compatriot, Christophe Lemaitre, was unfortunately forced to pull out at the last minute due to a severe cold.
