Tyson Gay runs out of steam
ZURICH, Switzerland
Tyson Gay and Derrick Atkins withdrew from the 100-meter race at Friday's Golden League meet in Zurich, because they claimed to be "tired".
"Gay is still feeling the strain from the world championships, where he ran no fewer than nine races in eight days," Weltklasse meet organizers said on their Web site.
"Because he is still feeling tired as a result, he will relinquish his starting place in the 100 meters."
Its clearly exhausting to run for less than 10 seconds however its also likely Gay is concerned about turning in a poor performance and will prefer to keep himself on the sidelines waiting for a big money rematch with Powell.
