There were two principals, Gay who had run 9.84 in the US Championships, while world record holder Powell, recovering from an injury, had a 9.90 to his credit from July. After Devonish had been fastest in the heats, the quarter-finals saw the contenders easing back, as Powell ran 10.01, coming off the throttle at 60m. In the semi-finals Powell again shut down, and was headed by Atkins, while Gay won the other race in 10.00. A feature of the preliminaries was the failure of Gay’s comaptriots. Jelks was injured and Samuels eliminated in the quarter-finals.
For the first time in world championship 100m history, athletes from eight different countries qualified for the final. In the big race Powell was off quicker than his rivals, and he was a half metre ahead by 30m (3.83 for Powell, 3.86 for Gay), with Atkins a fraction behind the American. Powell still held the lead by two hundredths at 60m (6.42), but the Jamaican was beginning to tense up. Gay caught him at 70m, before surging away to win from Atkins, who himself caught Powell just after 90m. The Jamaican admitted that he “just panicked and tightened up“, while Gay noted that “at about 70m I knew I had a great chance of winning.” The winner ran the two halves of his race in 5.59 and 4.26 compared with 5.62/4.29 by Atkins and 5.57/4.39 Powell.
