NEW YORK -- The only finish-line photos in this race were the ones of Veronica Campbell-Brown throwing flowers into the crowd.

The Jamaican sprinter, winner of a photo finish at worlds last year, left no room for questions Saturday night, winning the 100 meters at the Reebok Grand Prix in 10.91 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year.

Good time. And good timing, too, with the Olympics only 10 weeks away.

"I'm running good," Campbell-Brown said. "My object is to run faster than I did last year. I accomplished that and I'm happy."

Campbell-Brown beat American Marshevet Hooker by .03. American Lauryn Williams, who lost to Campbell-Brown last year in that photo finish in Osaka, finished a disappointing fourth, and Allyson Felix finished fifth.

"I got caught off guard," Williams said.

Defending Olympic gold medalist Liu Xiang, the biggest sports hero in China this side of Yao Ming, was scratched from the 110 hurdles, scheduled for later Saturday, because of tightness in his hamstring. He said he hoped to be better for the Prefontaine Classic, next Sunday.
