The highly anticipated race to find out the worlds fastest man is likely to be a close contest between U.S.A.s Tyson Gay and Jamaicas Asafa Powell. The American sprinter won gold medals during the 2007 World Championships in Athletics in Osaka, Japan at the 100-meter, 200-meter and 4×100-meter events. Gay was also named the Mens Track & Field Athlete of the Year, a title that was held by Powell in 2006. At the Olympic Trials in July, Gays hamstring cramped during a 200-meter race, which made him ineligible to run in his best event in Beijing since he didnt finish in the required top three. Powell for his part is a self-confessed lazybones and working on getting his focus in the right place for the biggest sprint of his lifetime. Watch the two come head to head on Friday (8/15) and Saturday (8/16) during the Primetime hours.
