 Jamaica's Usain Bolt has broken Asafa Powell's world 100m record. At the Reebok Grand Prix on Saturday night, in front of a huge Jamaican crowd, he ran a blistering 9.72 seconds to beat Tyson Gay, 9.85, into second place. Darvis Patton of the USA was third in 10.07.
On a night when thunderstorms and the threat of lightning forced a 45 minute delay to the action, "Lightening" Bolt delivered the real jolt of the night. The 6' 5" tall Jamaican is now the man to beat as the athletics season steamrolls toward the Beijing Olympics in August.
"This world record doesn't mean a thing unless I get the Olympic gold medal, or win at the world championships," he said.
