Saturday, 05 July 2008 |
American sprint ace Tyson Gay ran a blistering 9.68 seconds to win the men’s 100 meters at the US Olympic trials last Sunday night.
The time tops Usain Bolt’s world mark of 9.72 seconds but will not be recorded as a new world mark because of a hefty following wind of 4.1 meters per second.
The 9.68 clocking also makes Gay the quickest ever all-time in any condition, topping the previous wind-assisted best of 9.69 seconds by Barbadian Obadele Thompson in Texas in April 1996.
Gay, the reigning World Champion over 100 and 200 meters, won ahead of Walter Dix (9.80), with Darvis Patton (9.84) third.

Banned sprinter Justin Gatlin took his doping appeal to the next level Wednesday, hoping he can beat the clock and make it to the starting blocks in time to compete at U.S. Track and Field's Olympic trials this weekend.
Gatlin's attorneys sent a motion by e-mail to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, asking that he be allowed to compete in the 100-meter races that begin Saturday in Eugene, Ore.
A similar motion was also filed with U.S. District Judge Lacey Collier in Pensacola, Fla., who ruled Tuesday that he did not have jurisdiction in a case stemming from Gatlin's doping suspension.
Officials in the Atlanta court said a decision would be expedited.
Gatlin's attorneys are asking the courts to issue an emergency injunction, pending his appeal that would allow him to participate.
USA Track and Field officials said they have made contingency plans for the defending Olympic champion to run in qualifying heats Saturday if the courts rule he can. (AP)

The world will be watching the Jamaica National Championship in
Kingston, Jamaica June 27-29 especially the prestigious 100 meters dash
both men’s and women’s as the world fastest runners of the event will
be on their marks in one of the most competitive trials in recent
years.
The anticipated showdown between the worlds two fastest men Usain Bolt
(9.72) and Asafa Powell (9.76) who will do battle to secure their spots
in the sprint event on the Jamaican roster for the Beijing Olympic
games in China latter this summer is expected to be the highlight. The
question will really comes down to whether or not the race will be
competitive as the top three finishers will be selected to represent
Jamaica in the event. In just securing their places both runners may
settle for placement rather than challenge each other, and save their
best for Beijing where it matters most.
