Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, the current 100 meter dash world record holder, finally sees the back of his competitors uniform. (Something he is not familiar with)
After two false starts, American sprinter, Tyson Gay, runs a 9.84 to win the 100 meter dash in one of the Diamond League Meets in Stockholm, Sweden. Bolt ran a 9.97. This is a far cry from Bolt's record breaking time of 9.58 that he ran in Berlin in 2009. The comments that I've seen all point to Bolt taking a day off on the track. With no World or Olympic Championships to compete for this year, people believe Bolt may not place this race on any list of importance. One writer mentioned that they saw him grimace as he was hitting his stride in the last 70 meters. Or, he could have just gotten smoked.
Track and field will be heating up in the next two years, with the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, and the 2012 Olympics in London, England. I don't suspect that we will see too many more races like this from Bolt.
