Tyson Gay Runs the Fastest 100 Meters of All Time: 9.68 Secs

reuters.com — World champion Tyson Gay ran the fastest 100 meters of all-time to win the American Olympic trials on Sunday, a wind-assisted 9.68 seconds. The victory put Gay into his first U.S. Olympic team but the wind speed of 4.1 meters per second deprived the 25-year-old of a world record.

  • inactive, on 07/02/2008, -1/+30I'd just like to reiterate the point that he was running at 23.1 mph
  • LZeppelinJ0, on 07/02/2008, -10/+35Gay got blown hard
  • divxrippimp, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1523.1 Miles per hour, thats nuts...
  • Coded1, on 07/02/2008, -0/+15Wow I think you're right .... there are indoor tracks ... and people run on them!
  • EvilCan, on 07/02/2008, -5/+17Why don't they just do track indoors?
  • jr93087, on 07/02/2008, -3/+15wow, the puns in these comments are some of the worst ever on digg.
  • badnewshotel, on 07/02/2008, -3/+15I loved this story... when it made the front page of Digg on Monday.

    Stay with us people.
  • kaharis, on 07/02/2008, -1/+12In case you missed it, I would like to include the point that his average speed was 23.1 mph.
  • nunofgs, on 07/02/2008, -3/+14Fastest man on the earth... still can't get away from his last name.
  • vexingmodstwo, on 07/02/2008, -0/+10Nah... if you saw the race, you'd notice that the runners are looking leaner this time around. I think the crackdown is working.

    But I could be wrong.
  • UnterDenLinden, on 06/30/2008, -5/+14I'm calling it now. 2008 Olympics, Tyson Gay sub 9.70 WR.
  • ophello, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9For those of you who care, that's an average speed of 23.1 mph.
  • chesstwin, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9Distance events tend to be more "epic" ie: 1972 men's 800m watch and enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LHid-nC45k
  • chesstwin, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9Id say Gay is clean
    He volunteers blood samples year-round, more than almost ever other athlete and even refused a perfectly legal cortisone shot for his back problems because he didnt want any suspicions
    I hope he is the first of many
  • thecliffbar, on 07/02/2008, -0/+8no love for asafa powell?
  • m0neybags, on 07/02/2008, -4/+12Mike Tyson is Gay. Also he Ran the Fastest 100 Meters of All Time!

  • santaliqueur, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Whoa, what you got there, numbers?
  • EnderMB, on 07/02/2008, -4/+11Oh come on! It was wind assisted, so it doesn't count. That's like saying someone had run the 100m in half a second before because their corpse got dragged along the floor by a hurricane.
  • mercurialsaliva, on 07/02/2008, -3/+10i actually misread it too.. i thought it was about the fastest gay runner...
  • lamiaconfitor, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6Isnt that one sport where bulking up isn't really an advantage? Just saying...
  • dangerding, on 07/02/2008, -1/+7saw ray gun here too first, then was confused about a gay ray gun.... then read it a third time.
  • ngmcs8203, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5Steroid use does not always mean bulking up. See: all of the track athletes and cyclists caught for steroid use.
  • NorrisTwithman, on 07/02/2008, -1/+6It will be epic if everybody falls over at least twice.

  • vexingmodstwo, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4Looking like Lou Ferrigno would be a problem but from Olympics past, they were pretty jacked.
