no he isnt gay
American Tyson Gay blazed down the track in 9.85 seconds to claim the world 100 metres title today, beating a panicked world record-holder Asafa Powell.
Powell was quickly into the lead but Gay overtook his man in the last 20 metres with the Bahamas' Derrick Atkins claiming silver in 9.91.
It was a big disappointment for Powell, who faded to finish third in 9.96. But he will be pleased to leave the lightning fast Osaka track with his 9.77 world record intact.
"I stumbled out of the blocks but I was leading until the end. I made a couple of mistakes and I lost the race," said Powell.
"I felt him (Gay) coming on my shoulder and that's when I panicked. It slowed me down."
