Gay seals gold in 100m in Osaka

TYSON Gay overcome an uncharacteristic bout of nerves to see off the challenge of Asafa Powell and clinch the 100 metres gold medal last night.

America’s top sprinter prevailed against the Jamaican world record holder in front of a near sell-out crowd at the Nagai Stadium.

Gay crossed the line first in 9.85 seconds, thanks largely to a blistering surge over the final 20 metres.
