How fast for Powell? Is he back to near his best following his ankle problems?

Had a photo finish in the final ran 10.06

[t_monk]

I was worried for a moment there

Powell 10.07
Bailey 10.07
Frater 10.08

I had called Powell

[Rineanna]

I did not think Powell won that. but thankfully he did 'cos he's my captain on the fantasy league.

[croflash]

He had a terrible start and barely won.

[AthleticsInBritain]

I know - I was convinced Bailey sneaked it on the line!

10.07 -0.3 wind. Not convincing really and a terrible start wasn't it?

I thought that was a good run by Williamson as he was in contention all the way to the last 10m.

[t_monk]

For a moment I thought Bailey had outdipped Powell

[nevetsllim]

Williamson 10.13 (-0.3 m/s) in fourth. Another good run.

[Marlow]

A MAJOR break-throgh for Asafa - he ran through the line!!

[bman]

Asafa didn't look himself at all. I don't know if it is the injury or what but he did not get out well and even though he came back and won he definitely did not have his top-form knee lift and frankly it didn't appear that he was running very hard.

[t_monk]

Whatever this new thing he is doing, it had better be in preparation for the WC

Is that a 1-2 for the Donovans?!

[rudeboy]

Powell better get it together soon. He doesn't look like he is ready to challenge Bolt and Gay. In fact, he looks like he belongs in the second-tier of sprinters.

In more detail, Donovan Powell 10.07, Donovan Bailey 10.07, Lindel Frater 10.08 :-)

Well if he's in the 2nd tier as you say he's there all by himself.

He ran all the way through and very relaxed after a HORRIBLE start. In most spots before, Asafa would've just given up.

I applaud him and I'm not counting him out yet.
