Tyson Gay World 100m number one
The warm Osaka evening saw Powell in lane 4 and Gay in 5 for the face off everyone has been waiting for.
A solid third-fastest reaction time of the field, almost the same as Powell , was all it took and if Gay started well there was never any doubt he would power through in the second 50.
Sure enough at 60 meters, the race was in the bag for Gay who demonstrated he is totally in-form with a win in 9.85 seconds (-0.5 mps wind).
Derrick Atkins of the Bahamas nailed Powell to finish second recording a new a national-record at 9.91 seconds on the way with Powell third in 9.96
Eight athletes from eight different countries lined up in Osaka for memorable end to Day 2 of the IAAF World Championships.
There can be little doubt now that Tyson Gay is the man to watch for the Beijing Olympic 100m gold medal and 100m.com will be there.
