Quote:
Asafa Powell broke the world record in the 100 meters Tuesday with a 9.77 clocking at Olympic Stadium, where the Jamaican didn't fare nearly as well during the Athens Games last summer.
Powell shaved one hundredth of a second off Tim Montgomery's record of 9.78 set in Paris in 2002 ? a mark that already was at risk because Montgomery faces doping charges.

He was the guy I had pegged to win in Athens, but he fell short.
