Rematched in Berlin II: Williams vs Stewart.

Lauryn Williams and Kerron Stewart have faced each other in four global finals and so far scores are tied at two all. Williams busted on the world stage at the 2002 world Junior Championships in Jamaica when she won the 100m title in 11.33 seconds beating Stewart into fourth spot(11.53). That final saw US vs Jamaica with Simone Facey taking the silver for Jamaica and Marshevet Hooker collecting the bronze for the Americans. The next matchup came at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan where Williams was second in 11.01 with Stewart back in seventh place (11.12). Williams lost the gold in a photo finish to Stewart’s Jamaican counterpart Veronica Campbell-Brown. Then it was at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China where Stewart finished ahead of Williams taking joint second with Sherone Simpson (10.98) and behind Shelly-Ann Fraser as Jamaica swept the top three positions. Williams was fourth in 11.03 seconds. And in the latest contest at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany, Stewart again finished ahead in second place (10.75) with Williams in fifth 11.01.
