The 100m sprint races are undoubtedly one of the most eagerly-anticipated events at any Olympic Games, with Tokyo no exception.
Of course, there is the dampener that fans will be prohibited from attending the typically electric event, but with Usain Bolt absent for the first time since 2004, there is certainly an added intrigue this year.
The Jamaican was utterly dominant throughout the previous three Games, as he claimed the 2008, 2012 and 2016 gold medals with relative ease.
But with his retirement, an array of sprinters will be eying up their chances in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is one of two gold medalists competing once more, alongside champion Elaine Thompson-Herah, while Team GB's Dina Asher-Smith is also in the mix.
With the highly-anticipated spectacle swiftly approaching, Sportsmail takes you through the all-important details.
