2006 European Athletics Championships – Men's 100 metres

The men's 100 metres at the 2006 European Athletics Championships were held at the Ullevi on August 7 and August 8. Portugal's Francis Obikwelu added the European title to his Olympic Games silver medal in Athens. The 27-year-old was all but last out of the blocks but showed his class with a brilliant surge of pace to finish in 9.99 seconds - the first time the European title has been won with a sub-10 second time. Poland's Dariusz Kuć delayed the drama with a nervy false start.
