3 times the fastest man on Earth


Jamaican Asafa Powell equalled the 100m world record of 9.77secs he jointly owns with Justin Gatlin at the Golden League meeting in Zurich on Friday.

Powell, 23, has run the same time twice before, first in Athens in June 2005 and again in Gateshead last month.

"I couldn't ask for better, I've got nothing to complain about," said Powell. "One way or another there will come a time when I run under 9.77sec."

American Tyson Gay finished second in a personal best of 9.84secs.

Olympic and world champion Gatlin also ran 9.77 in Doha on 12 May this year.

They should call him the fastest running man --- because being the "fastest man" is not such a gracious title. It could be misleading :)
