Asafa Powell Clocks the World Fastest Time This Year
Our own World record holder Asafa Powell, won the 100 meters today with the fastest sprint in the world this year.Powell led from start to finish to clock 9.97 seconds in his season-opening return from a bout with knee tendinitis at the Artur Takac Memorial meet.
Churandy Martina, of the Netherlands Antilles, was second in 10.11, and our own Michael Frater came in third in 10.19.
Asafa Powell is included in my Top 30 most Famous People from Jamaica.
