Powell hits sparkling form to claim 100m in Stockholm

ASAFA POWELL pocketed a $10,000 diamond after producing another sparkling 100m run — this time in the DN Galan meet at Stockholm’s Olympic Stadium last night.

Powell, who shares the 100m world record of 9.77 seconds with Justin Gatlin, was first to the tape in 9.86.

The Jamaican’s time set a new stadium record, beating Maurice Greene’s 1999 mark by one-hundredth of a second and earning him the diamond in the process.
