    What do you mean can't get Bolt out of their mind?

    That's what you would like us to believe, show the quote where they state, they can't get Bolt out of their mind.

    Because someone is mentioned, certainly doesn't mean on the brain, all the time.

    Athletics: Powell and Gay can't get Bolt out of their minds

    ROME, Italy — Usain Bolt is the main topic of discussion ahead of the Golden Gala, even though the Jamaican sprinter isn't competing in tomorrow's Golden League meet.

    Bolt's two key rivals — former world record-holder Asafa Powell and world champion Tyson Gay — will go head-to-head in the 100 metres at the Stadio Olimpico before all three line up at the World Championships in Berlin next month.

    "We've been talking about beating Usain since the Olympics," Powell said of Bolt's triple-gold and world record performances in the 100, 200 and sprint relay. "He ran 9.69, so it's going to take faster than 9.69 to beat him."

    Bolt recorded an impressive 200-metre performance under the rain in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Tuesday, clocking 19.59 seconds — only one-hundredth of a second slower than what Gay ran in May with fair weather and a breeze at his back.

    "I watched the race. It was pretty good considering the conditions — rain, wind in the face, the cold," Gay said today. "He looked pretty good."
