Yupun Abeykoon won the bronze medal after finishing the race in 10.14 seconds.[1] Abeykoon also became the first Sri Lankan to win a Commonwealth Games medal in athletics after 24 years since Sriyani Kulawansa and Sugath Thilakaratne's medal feats at the 1998 Commonwealth Games.[2] Abeykoon also became the first Sri Lankan to win a Commonwealth Games medal in either men's and women's 100m event.[3] During the heats, Abeykoon managed to set an all-time fastest ever timing in the heats, after finishing with a timing of 10.06 seconds. The previous record in 100m men's heats record was held by Canada's Glenroy Gilbert who had finished his heat with a timing of 10.10 seconds during the 1994 Commonwealth Games.[4]
