Powell for 200m in Shanghai China and Yokohama ....Tyson Gay for 100m?
Powell leaves Europe on a roll over 100m and heads for asian 200m races
Powell dominated in Europe this summer – ending his stay with a 100m victory in 9.83 seconds at the 5th IAAF / VTB Bank World Athletics Final.
His sixth fastest time ever, and his 11th at 9.85 or better and at 24 only two have ever run faster!
“It was one of the best,” he said, after his ninth victory in ten 100m races this season.
“When I crossed the line, I wished that it could have been a little more. But after two false starts and when I saw that the wind was minus, I said, ‘Whoa, that’s really good.’ But at first, I was looking for a little more.”
American Tyson Gay beat him at the World Championships and has been running ever since in the direction of avoiding Powell, that one win remains the news since the Osaka outing.
“I’m really happy right now,” Powell said
“that’s gone, it’s in the past. And I’m working very hard now. It’s good to get beat sometimes. It shows that you’re not unbeatable. And it motivates me to keep working hard. So now I just have to work hard to stay unbeaten.”
Despite a world record he knows “This season wasn’t the best for me,” ... “but I’m still very happy. I bounced back very quickly from the World Championships, I’ve run some good times, the World record. My aim next year,” he continued, “is to compete as much and as well as possible. And to go to Beijing and come home with the gold medal.”
Tyson Gay is very good !
“I’m not really focusing on anybody right now. Tyson is very good, and I underestimated him in Osaka and I don’t want to make that mistake again.”
“Next year I hope to race him before the Olympics,” ... “I’m not 100 percent sure , but I hope so. It’s important.”
Powell claims he will be wrapping up his season with a pair of 200m appearances, first in Shanghai and then Yokohama.
Perhaps Gay will run 100m in Shanghai at the Golden Meet or in Yokohama? It sounds like there will not be a re-match over 100m after all this season ....
