From Beijing to Berlin, it seemed that Usain Bolt and his long, turbocharged strides were more than a match for anyone over 100 meters. But Tyson Gay upset the defending world and Olympic champion in a race between the two fastest runners in history.
Gay beat the Jamaican at the DN Galan meet in 9.84 seconds, competing at the same stadium in Stockholm where Bolt last lost a race two years ago. The American seemed to be in complete control against the world record-holder. The pair raced side by side as Gay, looking comfortable, drew away. Bolt was straining to keep up and finished second in 9.97.
