Powell sets fastest time in world

World record holder Asafa Powell made a stunning start to the outdoor season by running the fastest 100metres in the world this year at the Artur Takac meeting in Belgrade.

The Commonwealth champion showed he has covered from a knee injury which delayed the start to his summer track campaign by clocking a time of 9.97seconds to narrowly better the mark of 9.98secs set by Derrick Adkins, of the Bahamas, in California last month.
