Results are in: Bolt / Powell go 1-2, no world record
As predicted, there was no new world record this afternoon in Brussels. Usain Bolt did win the race in 9.77, which is still very speedy. He was 0.06 seconds ahead of Asafa Powell, who got a much better start and led over the first 50 meters.
The first American to finish was Travis Padgett in 5th place in 10.15 seconds.
The meet was streamed live at Track Shark, which should also carry future Golden League meets. Results are available at the IAAF website.
