New 100m Sprint Record
Any track fans here. I love sprints.
Justin Gatlin just broke the world record yesterday at the Qatar Grand Prix in Doha, clocking in at an insane 9.76 seconds in the 100m, shaving 0.01 seconds off the previous best of 9.77 seconds set by Asafa Powell on June 14, 2005, in Athens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLhDP9zG_ag  It's amazing that it he didn't even have the lead until past the 50m mark. Then he turned it on and blazed the track in the last 50m. It's a great day for Track and Field. And to think just seven years ago, that besting the 9.79 by Maurice Greene was considered nearly impossible. Then Asafa Powell broke it last year with 9.77, despite shutting it down in the final stretch of that race. Then Justin Gatlin went ahead and broke that yesterday, after having never run under 9.80 before (his previous personal best was 9.85 ... he shaved a stunning 0.09 off his personal best). Gatlin receives a $100,000 bonus from the IAAF for breaking the record. The Qatar federation is chipping in an additional $30,000. Gatlin said running 9.73 will be his next goal. He'll be competing in the Reebok Grand Prix in New York City on June 3. And on June 11, Gatlin and Powell will face each other at the Gateshead meet in England. That will be an exciting race. Jam it back in, in the dark.
