Chuck Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Asafa Powell now stands alone as the fastest man on the planet over 100 metres after breaking the world record on Sunday. The Commonwealth champion had previously shared the title with Olympic champion Justin Gatlin, at 9.77 seconds. But Powell then raced home in just 9.74 seconds in his heat at the Rieti Grand Prix in Italy at the weekend to go someway to making up for his disappointing World Championship performance in Osaka. The Jamaican finished third behind Tyson Gay and Derrick Atkins in the final, but he now holds the world's most prestigious athletics record outright. Having a 100 metre race?

D-Day Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yep... me and Asafa go way back... with me training him and all, his status potential is reached . And I heard about Habana racing a cheetah, reminds me of when Micheal Johnson raced a horse... apart from the fact cheetahs are quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I could beat him if I had one of those hats on with a fishing rod attached and a piece of steak on the end that's just out of reach and makes me run to try and get it. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
