Asafa Powell runs fastest ever 100 yards - Despite wet track

Permalink

OSTRAVA, Czech Republic (AP) Asafa Powell improved the best world time in the 100 yards to 9.07 seconds at the Golden Spike meet today.

Powell broke the previous best of 9.21 set by Charlie Greene of the United States in 1967.

He won the 100-metre race on a track dampened by a heavy shower in 9.83, the world's best time this season.

Organisers of the IAAF world challenge series event took the 100 yards (91.41 metres) split time.

"I was disappointed when I saw the rain but I was happy then when the rain stopped, shortly before the start," Powell said. "I'm very satisfied with the time. The weather condition didn't mean a lot. I feel good, I'm in good shape."

The IAAF doesn't recognise 100 yards for world records as it was no longer at major events.
