Tyson Gay again showed he is on track for the world championships, with a brilliant 100 metres victory in Stockholm on Friday night.
Gay, who will defend his 100m and 200m titles in Berlin against Olympic champion Usain Bolt, was unaffected by a recent groin injury on a cold evening in the Swedish capital.
The 26-year-old, backed by a following wind of 2.6 metres, roared down the track in 9.79seconds - for a clear win ahead of fellow American Darvis Patton and Asafa Powell, Jamaica's former world record-holder.
‘The race felt good, and my finish was good,’ said Gay, who produced a storming final 30m after drawing level with Powell at the halfway point.
‘It was good, considering I haven't really trained recently.’
