American stars were back in topform at the Paris Golden League meeting as Marion Jones broke her own season's world best in the 100 metres and Maurice Greene sprinted back to victory after two defeats.

In wet and chilly conditions, Jones won in 10.89 seconds cutting her previous best time by a hundredth of a second.

Jamaican Tayna Lawrence was second in 11.04 and Chryste Gaynes of the United States third in 11.06.

After suffering two defeats in as many days last week by Britain's Dwain Chambers in Oslo, the fist leg of the Golden League, and at an international meeting in Sheffield, Greene was back to his flamboyant self in front of a 35,000 strong crowd at stade de France.

Chambers withdrew from the Paris meeting saying he wanted to rest a shoulder injury. Greene won the race in a time of 9.99 seconds, ahead of compatriot Bernard Williams (10.03) and Britain's Mark Lewis-Francis (10.04).
