Asafa Powell runs 9.74 in the 100m!

Coming off a dissapointing 3rd place finish in the 100m at the recent World Track & Field Championships in Osaka, Japan, people were starting to right off the 24 year-old Jamaican sprint sensation Asafa Powell. He just hasn't been able to win in the big events.

So what does Asafa go and do at a IAAF Grand Prix meet in Italy? He smashes the world record by 3 hudredths of a second in a wind legal 9.74seconds!

Check out the race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeCdXaKVgIU

Record Del Mundo!

It's scary how easy that race looks for him after 50 meters; like a walk in the park! And imagine this, he ran this time without Z-Health! Sorry guys, had to throw that in! With Z-health, 9.0 seconds flat for sure:)
