That's Powell's deal. He has given more races away in the final 15m than any other sprinter in history.

Asafa Powell just choked away the men's 100m.
He was leading by a meter with 10 to go and lost. 9.91 for Bolt.
Total choked in my opinion. Bolt is super fast but Powell should have held on.

It just also happens that he is racing against one of the best finishers ever. Bolt gets rolling after 60m. 6"5 and the best ever 200m runner makes alot of guys look bad in last 20m of 100m.
I'm talking about three World Champs and two Olympic Games where he has finished no better than third, despite having world-leading times for many of them. Only two of those losses were to Bolt. He just has a weak finish, and in sprinting in a championship final, that capitalizes into one head-shaking defeat after another.

Powell has too much muscle to finish well. He looks more like a 60m runner than a 100m runner.
If BOLT starts as well as Asafa he would never lose but he was lucky to win today.
