Pearson came to Australia's rescue Tuesday, winning with a Games record in the 100-meter hurdles final to soothe the pain of a nation going through its worst Olympics in decades.
Pearson clocked an Olympic record of 12.35 to edge the USA's defending champion Dawn Harper into silver by just 0.02.
Another USA athlete, Kellie Wells, took the bronze in 12.48.
Pearson endured a nervous few moments before the result was confirmed on the scoreboard, bringing cheers of delight from the Australian fans.
