| Posted: 16 May 2010 03:59 PM PDT It could be as a sign of more things to come. Tyson Gay ran 19.41 seconds into a slight headwind Sunday on a specially constructed track, shaving 0.09 off the mark Tommie Smith set in May 1966 at San Jose, Calif. Three-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt may be on another level but Tyson Gay is slowly catching up. Earlier this season Gay posted 44.89 seconds recording the first sub-45 second 400 meter race in his career. Every media outlet on the planet including this one has sung the virtues of Bolt’s rise and dominance. On this blog and on our radio show, I have continually said that counting Gay out is a big mistake. Gay keeps coming back faster and faster after every major show down with Bolt. “He’s going to be tough to beat,” Gay told reporters. “Honestly, he’s in another class right now but I’m working hard to get there. The challenge is for me to work hard to get to where he is at.” Bolt may be in another sphere right now but spectators need to pray that Gay continues to drop his times to push Bolt in major races. Gay is a tireless warrior, who knows that catching Bolt will be not small feat. Don’t think that Bolt is sleeping on Gay. After years of competing against one another, Bolt is well aware of Bolt’s ability and tenacity. And that tenacity could prove to be Gay’s strength. Today’s race is a sign of the the former 100 and 200 meter world champion can do. Gay will will catch him if he can. Related posts:

| Gay sprints to 19.41 world best on 200m straight Posted: 16 May 2010 03:30 PM PDT INDIANAPOLIS - Tyson Gay set a new world best in winning the 200 meters on a straight track Sunday at the Powerade Great City Games in Manchester, U.K. A triple gold medalist at the 2007 World Outdoor Championships, Gay ran 19.41 seconds into a slight headwind on a specially constructed 200m straight track on the streets of Manchester. The previous world best of 19.5 was set by the legendary Tommie Smith back in 1966 on a cinder track in San Jose, Calif. Smith was trackside for Gay’s race and told BBC Sports “It was a great race.” Gay came into the race having run 44.89 over 400m on April 17 in Gainesville, Fla. His impressive time over 400m made him the first man to run under 10 seconds for the 100m, 20 seconds for the 200m and 45 seconds over 400m. Related posts:

A three-piece upper provides a good amount of support, is breathable and sports a cool graphic treatment. The ProGrid Kinvara is very light for being classified as a trainer. Based on this metric, the Kinvara is light at a projected 7.7 oz. If you are looking for a lightweight trainer that can double as a racing shoe. Below is a video from the shoe designer.
