I disagree, from the tv footage I’ve seen it looked like Gay passed Powell fairly early on but Powell kept going and wasn’t really losing ground for awhile, until he saw he couldn’t pass Gay and gave up.
Just thinking of this run… I really admire the way Gay has been running. He may not have run the most sub-10’s or the most sub-10’s in a season, and may not have been WR holder but even with this slight “injury” Gay gives 100% in every race he runs. On the other side, if Asafa had the same problem as Gay it would have been all over the press and he would have blamed it for under-performing. I am not saying he has to be the No.1 or “the king of sprint” [self-declared] but he could certainly give 100% in every race he runs.
Agreed. I’m not certain if it’s a result of the ankle but the 2nd step out of the block appears as though he’s running in mud! It takes a moment to finish that step. Furthermore, he doesn’t appear to be able to sustain that superior hip height he displayed in yester-years. I wish him well.
I would believe that. It could be my imagination seeing something it wants to, but it looks like he’s limping at top speed. I can’t see the limp, but I see different body movement depending on whether he’s stepping with his right or left.
