Does this mean Dix worked out his contract issues, I remember hearing about him not being allowed to run due to contract disputes.

Rodgers' first sub-10,00. Powell has a LOT of work left ahead of him, though he finished second; Dix finished third.

[AthleticsInBritain]

That's better from Powell in 2nd. He even ran through the line!!! :shock: :lol:

Good run from Rodgers too. Definitely the man in form over 100 so far this year.

[gm]

Rodgers just decimated a good field. Sub-10 legal for the first time, looked great doing it.

[guruof track]

Rodgers' first sub-10,00. Powell has a LOT of work left ahead of him.

Dix as well.

Mike won going away, outside of him the field left ALOT to be desired.

How many times has Powell not broken 10,00 in a sub-10,00 race the past four or five years?

[polevaultpower]

Mike looked GOOD

[richxx87]

The Asafa Powell era was fun while it lasted..

[rudeboy]

Powell looked much better. He was even looking over to his left. It looks like he was instructed not to push it. I did not see an all out effort from him. I can't wait for Thursday. Bolt will show them how to run a good 100M race.

[jaguar]

My My...we are ready to right off AP like Scotty's old truck. Let's see how these veterans round out in the next 2 months. I though it was a work in process.

[The Atheist]

Ah man, terrible race for Dix. I was hoping he would do a lot better than that. I assume he must have not been training as hard as he would have liked due to all his legal battles with his agent. Bleh

[NumberCruncher]

Did anyone else see Dix stumble at the start. If he could ever get a good start in, my my.
