Powell smashes 100m world record

Powell smashes 100m world record - Jamaican Asafa Powell breaks the world 100m record by clocking 9.74 secs at the IAAF Grand Prix in Rieti.

Powell, bronze medallist at the recent World Championships, set the new record in the second of two heats.

The race was run with a strong following wind but it was within the limits set by athletics's governing body, the IAAF.

The athletics world will now be eagerly anticipating a re-match between Powell and Gay, which could happen at the Golden League meeting in Brussels on 14 September.
