The 21-year-old Jamaican, who clocked the same time at the Weltklasse in Zurich on Thursday, comfortably beat Kim Collins of Saint Kitts and Nevis, who finished in 10.01 at Berlin's Olympic stadium.

"That's why they call me the beast," Blake said. "There were some very good guys in this field so it wasn't easy to win. I pushed myself to run faster. It's a wonderful feeling to win here. ... Life changed a bit after the world championship." Trinidad's Richard Thompson was third in 10.08, with Michael Frater — who like Blake helped Jamaica set a world-record in the 4x100-meter relay in Daegu, South Korea — finishing fourth.

Blake seized the world title in Daegu after training partner Usain Bolt was disqualified for a false start. Bolt, the Olympic champion and world record-holder, skipped the Berlin meet.

The previous meet record was 9.86 held by Maurice Greene and Asafa Powell.

Kelly-Ann Baptiste of Trinidad claimed the women's 100m event in a time of 11.15, ahead of Jamaicans Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart.

In the women's 100 meter hurdles, Dawn Harper led an American 1-2-3 when she won in 12.68 seconds, ahead of Kellie Wells and Yvette Lewis. Canada's Phylicia George finished fourth, ahead of another American, Ginnie Crawford.

"Running here today wasn't easy because I had a lot of memories of 2009 when I didn't finish," Harper said. "I kept having flashbacks before the race." Kirani James of Grenada followed up his win in Zurich to win the men's 400 meters in 45.33 seconds, followed by Nery Brenes of Costa Rica and compatriot Rondell Bartholomew.

James said he was tired after competing at Daegu and Zurich in such a short time.

"I'm done for this season, I have to go back to school," the 19-year-old said.

Russia's Anastasiya Kapachinskaya won a slow women's 400 meters in 50.75 seconds, ahead of Francena McCorory of the US in 50.91 and compatriot Antonina Krivoshapka in 51.27.

In the men's event, Jehue Gordon of Trinidad ran a season-best 48.68 seconds to win. South Africa's Cornel Fredericks came second in 49.18, with German Georg Fleischhauer third in 49.19.

Kenya's Augustine Kiprono Choge ran his season's best to win the men's 1500 meters in 3 minutes 31.14, ahead of Morocco's Abdalaati and Iguider and Nixon Kiplimo Chepseba of Kenya.

In the women's 800, Kenya's Janeth Jepkosgei Busieni finished strongly to win in 1 minute, 58.26 seconds, just ahead of South Africa's Caster Semenya who finished in 1:58.74. Maggie Vessey of the US was third in 1:59.33.

American Ryan Whiting set a meet record of 21.61 meters to win the men's shot put, with teammate Reese Hoffa second with 21.47. Poland's Tomasz Majewski was third with a throw of 21.33.

"It was much better than in Daegu," said Whiting, who finished seventh at the World Championship. "It could have come out totally differently ... but I am in shape and wanted to do my season best — 15 centimeters away from that is not bad." Jesse Williams of the US won the high jump by clearing 2.33 meters. Trevor Barry of the Bahamas was second and Raul Spank of Germany third.

"I'm going to go shopping in Berlin tomorrow," Spank said. "Then I'm going on vacation." Alexandr Menkov of Russia won the long jump with 8.15 meters, ahead of Dwight Phillips of the US who settled for 8.05. Cuba's Wilfredo Martinez was third with 7.82.

World-record holder Barbora Spotakova of the Czech Republic avenged her Daegu defeat to Russia's Maria Abakumova by claiming the javelin with a throw of 67.14 meters.

Germany's Christina Obergfoell was second with 64.95, while Abakumova claimed third with 64.34.

"I think Christina and Maria were simply tired, but it's still a nice surprise to beat the two of them," Spotakova said.

World record-holder Betty Heidler of Germany delighted the crowd by setting a meet record of 76.99 meters with her first throw in the hammer, and then beating it with her second, of 77.40.

World champion Tatyana Lysenko of Russia finished second with 74.67, while Kathrin Klaas of Germany claimed third with 74.58.

There was also a local winner in the women's pole vault after Silke Spiegelburg cleared 4.71 meters. The German was pushed hard by Yarisley Silva but the Cuban settled for second with 4.66. Russia's Svetlana Feofanova was third with 4.56.

Germany's Robert Harting kept the fans happy by winning the discus with a throw of 67.22 meters, ahead of Estonia's Gerd Kanter and Lithuania's Virgilijus Alekna.
