As we look ahead to this summer's Beijing Olympics we take a closer look at the men's 100 meters and the three main contenders for the gold medal in Jamaica's former world record holder Asafa Powell at 9.74 seconds, the fastest man on the planet Jamaica's Usain Bolt at 9.72 seconds and the American Tyson Gay, the 2007 World championships triple gold medalist in the 100 meters, 200 meters and the 4x 100 meters. Bolt is also a major contender for the 200 meters, being the silver medalist at the world championships in 2007 in the 200 meters will saw him finishing behind Gay.
But who will make their country proud? Will Asafa Powell stamp his speed in history as the world's fastest man and 2008 Olympic gold medalist in the Men's 100 meters? Or will he like always get cold feet on the big occasion? Will the American and very consistent Tyson Gay take the finish line first? Will the narcissistic Usain Bolt; bolt his ego in history as the fastest man in the world and the 2008 Olympic gold medalist in the Men's 100 meters and the icing on the cake bragging rights for the next four years? Only they can decide in this summer's Beijing Olympics as they race against time.
Bolt's recent form has proven itself once again. Almost breaking his countryman's record at a track meet in Jamaica's National Stadium a few weeks before when he ran a time of 9.76 seconds, he made it very clear his intentions for the Olympics. A few weeks later at a track meet in the United States of American he ran the fastest time in history 9.72 seconds in a race which incidentally featured Tyson Gay. The Bolt is here. The Jamaican Olympics trials should be very interesting. Who will take the gold?
