Tyson Gay "planning" to run in Shanghai, Japan, Korea

he is planning to compete

It remains to be seen when, if at all, the double world champion puts his reputation on the line and races Powell the fastest man on earth. If past records are an indication of anything he may not do that in the last three big meetings in Asia. Fresh off his medal haul in Osaka he will be unlikely to risk ending the season in second place on the track as well as in the record book unless the rewards are simply too rich to pass up. Only his management team know and at the moment its in the "planning" stage.

Gay may elect do a relay if he is still tired.

Report: Gay to run in Yokohama
The Yomiuri Shimbun

Newly crowned world sprint champion Tyson Gay will return to Japan later this month to run in the Super Meet in Yokohama, his management company was quoted as saying in a Reuters report on Wednesday.

In commenting on Gay's withdrawal from the Golden League meet in Brussels on Friday--which ended hopes of a possible rematch with rival Asafa Powell--a spokeswoman for Global Sports Management said Gay would be competing in three meets in Asia.

"Tyson is taking a break as he recovers from the world championships and will not run in Brussels," Barbara Huebner of Global Sports was quoted as saying. "But he is planning to compete in meets at Shanghai, China; Yokohama, Japan and Daegu, South Korea."
