Powell wins 100m, Rodgers falls short from Universal Sports

[404Orion]

Oh really ?? ... Tell that to the Kenyans , Ethiopians & the rest of the East Africans who are the best long Distant Runners in the World ..

[OoOJakeOoO]

Black people are faster than white people but white people can run longer distances.

[Triplejump96]

truth.

[2005omar]

Kenyans and Ethiopians are blacks last time i checked.

[sokha326]

@OoOJakeOoO That's not true at all, looks at all the 800m, 1500m runners - Rudisha, Lagat, Mo Farrah...

[nippy2]

I love him, I need him like this, maybe it need to rain, baptize mi bwoy seek blessing from above and come back, we love you

[snake251]

Asafa Powell and Shelly-Ann Fraser be race in berlin cus they didnt turn up for a urine test

[obrianreid]

Rootii45 r u male?

[gdws]

powell could break the record if he comes back to form and gets a good start. but in saying that they all have the potential to break the 100m record, not too sure on gay tho - his start isn't fast enough.

[JacktheDaniels]

Powells' start and transition are already amazing, I think it's his last 30 - 40m that he needs to work on.

But I agree that he could get to Bolt's level if he worked at it diligently.

[Simplyquen]

Mike Rodger Pussy He Gonna Bitch Up Asafa Always been pussy check history and his start was ugly he ran all around tha fucking line tyson and usian are gonna put on a show thas it

[ZAVEN380]

mike rodgers wont even make the finals at berlin he is good but the other guys are way better only 1 person from the u.s will make the 100m final and thats gay...

[Rootii45]

SEXI BODY ASAFAAAAA !!!!!<3

[MARLONGRAY]

I think this might be the best chance for Asafa to win a gold medal. He has no pressure on him this time, absolutly no expectations. look out people.

[Judean777]

I think you are right to certain sense but wrong when you say he has no expectations on him. everyone knows that this is the only guy that can beat Bolt or even challenge that record again so pressure is still on him in my opinion .

[avorachak127]

i bet usain would of sitll gone sub 10 easy with these conditons. lets not lie asafa cant challenge usain

maybe tyson can in the 100 but usain has 200 in bag

[shaygahweh]

You're an idiot... Tyson can challenge Usain in the 100m, but Asafa can't?

Asafa ran a legal 9.72s this september, Tyson's BEST EVER performance was 9.78s.

[trackstar801]

it was 9.77 asshole

[ronaldinho1072]

tsyon gay cannt challenge bolt but i think powell can if u dont get nervous and powell just beat gay yesterday at brussels

[avorachak127]

dude, are you kidding? asafa is done. he won with a 9.90... that was just a terrible day for tyson he looked fucking weird. like he was just trying to stride the first 15 meters. and noboyd can challenge bolt

[ronaldinho1072]

what are u on thats a terrible time? it was raining and they were running into a headwind. tyson lost cus he is not as fast as powell at the start. powell is the best starter in the world

[avorachak127]

tyson can run 9.6 asafa can not anymore. hes passed his prime

[ronaldinho1072]

if powell has passed his prime then so has gay cus he just lost 2 him. powell can still run 9.6 easly he just needs a day with good weather.

[JAVLIGHTNING]

dude, what are you talking about? asafa is 27 years old. This is the time he must run his best. the only reason he is not the same anymore is because he gets injured a lot

[JacktheDaniels]

Powell had a less than ideal season due to minor injuries etc. He isn't done.

I'll point out that Tyson Gay had a decidedly bad season last year in not making the Olympic final, and also that he is 4 mos. older than Powell. However, I doubt that you would assert that Gay is done.

The 9.90 and 10.07 runs by Powell were exceptional performances, since both were on a cold, wet track and into a headwind, and the 10.07 was in the rain.

There's more to a good performance than just the time.

[1107jp]

It's good to see asfa running good again but is history is correct concerning asfa he might just choke again i dont want it to happened but off all his career he has been the best at this disntance and has not produce in the final of a major championship mabey this year will write a different story but at this point 10.07 wont secure him a medal not again usain and gay

[stainyman]

everyone is talking about Tyson gay,bolt. i have a feeling asafa is going to be the man behind bolt at the finish.

he's completely written off for a medal in Berlin by so many. that's going to work in his favor. a man who has run faster than tyson gay so many times is being written off.

look for a suprise people. trus mi

[redvirtus]

Asafa won because of Usain Bolt not participate

[brittonray]

Maybe. We'll see soon enough.

[flowababba]

rogers is not good ! only hype. he will have a hard time just to make it to the finals in berlin.

[ZAVEN380]

man every one was hyping up rodgers look how far back he is if it wasnt raining frater would have beaton him allso asafa is getting in shape at the rite time the world have to watch out for jamaica now it will be a repeat of the olympics all over..

[Judean777]

I like Rodgers, humble kid but c'mon we all knew those runs he did were all wind assisted and he barley ran 9.9 i never thought he stood a chance vs an inform Powell or Gay . Usain is out of the question .

[nutcase200]

powell is da best. technique is perfect and so much power

[bxriver]

I have to agree when it comes to technique asafa is 2nd to none

[brittonray]

A lot of people doesnt realize that his technique is stellar. Did you know that if usain had asafa's technique he could probably fly?

[dls2779]

your right. Asafa has the best technique from beginning to end of all times...Yeah, I said it!!!!!

[bxriver]

Who knows what bolt will do if he had it but he dosen't even need it lol but its the women who should really take note though imo.

[lovejahama]

MOST HIGH please grant Asafa Powell your favour an cause him to do his best in every race he runs at the World Championships in Berlin.

[brittonray]

u c it dawg. It seem like joke but we all know asafa has it in him. Im keeping mi fingers toes i even twisting my tongue and praying fi asafa run well. Come on asafa your fans have never left you. And we never will. Big up usain bolt and the rest of the jamaica camp. Berlin wi ago tek it to dem again

[bgee4]

Asafa is definately rounding back to form. i think that we will see his best at the world champs. But, his best still will not be enought to challenge Bolt.

[skettfoxx]

marc burns what'swrong maaaan! get it up get them times faster than powel boss

[sokha326]

Powell is back? :D

[moses0311]

USA sprints cant compete against these Jamaicans

[VaajXyooj]

where was usain bolt?

[clnmike]

Different heat.

[sweetdiva27]

don't think he ran the 100...he ran the 4th fastest time in the 200 though!!
