Gay and Felix do it REAL BIG in Stockholm.

So as I said, the 100m was a big deal. But, not as big as expected, since Bolt did not run with Powell and Gay. Despite his absence, Gay still gave people something to talk about. He ran a 9.79 that was just barely over the legal limit. What looked close, wasn't even close at all. The last twenty meters or so Gay was the clear victor, and was obviously onto something special. Another American, Darvis Patton came in second with a 9.95. Followed by Asafa powell, who faded at the end.

Also, a performance by Allyson Felix was spectacular. She was the only athlete to get a diamond, by running the meet record and running the fastest 200m time of the year. Felix absolutely murdered the competition and was quickly embraced by a number of runners. This performance looks good in predetermining the out come we may see in Berlin. Winning there will make her a three time world champion, along with Gay, who is going for his fourth.

 It was an overal exciting day, the first time I was able to watch an international competition other than the Olympics or a World Championship. Can't wait for the World Championships in Berlin August 15th.
