Filed under: Olympics, Track and Field, Americas Jamaica's Usain Bolt ran a blistering 100-meter dash time of 9.76 seconds today at the Jamaica International Invitational, the second-fastest 100in history. Here's the highlight: Bolt was aided by a tailwind of 1.8 meters per second, meaning if the wind had been just a little bit harder at his back the time wouldn't have counted. But today's race shows that Bolt and his countryman Asafa Powell, who owns the world record of 9.74 seconds, have a real chance of going gold-silver at the Beijing Olympics. Powell, who finished fifth in the 100 meters in 2004, did not run today because of a pectoral injury but will compete at the Olympics. "I never knew that I would run 9.76, so this is good," Bolt told the Jamaican Observer. Permalink | Email this | Comments
