Tyson Gay runs fastest time in history - but no World Record
June 30th 2008 02:47
Tyson Gay has just recorded the fastest 100m of all time... Pity it won't count
The clock stopped at 9.68sec for the 25 year-old from Arkansas but even as the 20,000 crowd inside the Hayward Field Stadium began to gasp, the digital trackside wind reading showed a following breeze of 4.1 metres per second, more than twice the limit allowed for record purposes.
No World Record - but this run will go down in history.
I don't care how big a tail wind he had, that is QUICK! gee that is QUICK!!
The showpiece event of the Olympics is shaping up as an absolute classic. Usain Bolt has one of the best names ever seen for a sprinter and is the current World Record holder with a 9.72, but there are men running sub 9.9's this year... Has there ever been a faster Olympic field?
See you in Beijing boys!
