Donovan Bailey 100m Run (9.84)

Donovan Bailey's heroics were highlighted at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, GA, USA.
On July 27, 1996 he won the 100 m race at a 9.84 world record time.

Bailey's time of 9.84 in Atlanta was the 100 m world record from 1996 until 1999, when it was broken by Greene. The time also stood as the Commonwealth record from 1996 until 2005, when it was broken by Asafa Powell, and is the current Canadian record (shared with Bruny Surin since 1999). His Olympic record was broken by Usain Bolt at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Well done Donavan Bailey for exorcising the demons of Ben Johnson from Canadian sport.
