yeah, a great race. gay just had another gear at around 50m.
great quote by bolden - "and the champion becomes gay."
powell takes a duke with 40 meters left
Great run by Gay with a .6 headwind; pathetic by Powell giving up and losing the silver. I was watching on Eurosport and they were talking like this was a huge upset. Did they forget that Gay ran 9.76 with just a +2.1 or +2.2 wind? That's as good as 9.77 with a 2.0!
Another amazing time by Tyson Gay into a headwind.
Gay runs 9.85 into a 0.5 headwind. Wow! If that was a tailwind, it's legal and he might have a WR.
Wind offically listed at -0.5
1 5 1100 Tyson Gay USA 9.85 . 0.143
2 6 347 Derrick Atkins BAH 9.91 (NR) 0.137
3 4 717 Asafa Powell JAM 9.96 . 0.145
4 9 857 Olusoji A. Fasuba NGR 10.07 (SB) 0.130
5 8 302 Churandy Martina AHO 10.08 . 0.180
6 7 586 Marlon Devonish GBR 10.14 . 0.149
7 2 994 Matic Osovnikar SLO 10.23 . 0.172
8 3 1048 Marc Burns TRI 10.29 . 0.166
Also, Derrick Atkins is Powell's second cousin. So Powell could even win at his family pinic!
It looks like Powell may surpass Leroy Burrell as the best sprinter to never win a World Title.
Didn't Burrell's relay squad win the gold at Worlds?

and I distinctly remember Powell's prep during the week towards this big occasion
idiot
Also if anyone doubted the timing equipment in Doha last year, the Nigerian dude ran pretty well today. (Of course you have every reason to doubt the physiology of the guy who ran 9.77 that day...)
How could the USA have an African in the final? People form the USA are Americans.
Here's the question: does anyone think Gay is not using some sort of PEDs? Most of the top sprinters probably are, but can a man run that fast without assistance?
Who would give it to him? He's as clean as they come.
Please don't feed the racist bigot Trolls.

Just a matter of time. The 200 is going down as well.
