Tyson Gay Upsets Usain Bolt In 100m Final In Sweden

Minutes after handing Usain Bolt his first defeat in more than two years, American sprinter Tyson Gay made some comments that demonstrated a remarkable amount of pragmatism:

It’s somewhat unusual to see an athlete qualify his opponent’s condition, then claim that he will beat him when he’s at full strength, but that’s what Gay is doing here. Also worth noting: Gay terms Bolt’s 2010 as an “off year” even though Bolt has not lost a race this year, which speaks to how thoroughly Bolt has dominated this sport as of late.

On Friday, American sprinter Tyson Gay dealt Usain Bolt, and the rest of us, a major surprise by besting him him the 100-meter final in Sweden. Here’s video of the race:

Usain Bolt is apparently human after all.

American Tyson Gay upset the world-record holder in the 100 meter-final at the IAAF Diamond League in Stockholm Friday evening, running a 9.84. Bolt finished second, with a 9.97.
