Usain Bolt runs 9.86 in his Jamaican Championships, with a legal wind. But Usain’s best performance was to speak about how challenging it will be for Usain to break the world record at 100 meters for Tyson Gay.
Now, while this is pretty mild for trash talking, the posturing is about to begin. Tyson Gay ran his 9.75w time was run in his FIRST 100 meters of the year, his first 200 meters of the year was his FIRST.

EME NEWS (JUNE 28, 2009)
Bolt world leading 9.86
KINGSTON (JAM, June 27): World record holder Usain Bolt finally got legal world lead 9.86 at 100 m (-0.2) to win the Jamaican Championships. ‘I am feeling good. I am now looking forward to get into better shape,” said Bolt. Asafa Powell was good second in 9.97 and third spot for Berlin might go to Michael Frater (10.02). Fourth Marvin Anderson 10.07, followed by Steve Mullings 10.08 and young Yohan Blake 10.09. In semis Powell was even faster than (10.03) than Bolt (10.11). Bolt believes it will be very difficult for American Tyson Gay to break the 100-metre world record he set to win the Olympic in Beijing, last summer. “No downgrade to Tyson, but that is going to be a hard task for him to break my record. I think Tyson is more of a 200m runner, not a 100m runner, so I think it’s going to be very hard,” he added. Isa Phillips got another world lead at 400 m hurdles (48.05) beating veteran Danny McFarlane (48.54) and in close battle for third Jamaican junior record holder Josef Robertson returned after two years break with 49.22 edging Markino Buckley (49.23). Olympic winner Shelly-Ann Fraser was again at the right time in the shape with 10.88 world lead (-1.5) beating Kerron Stewart (10.93). Third Sherri-Ann Brooks got 11.16. Olympic medalist Sherone Simpson was not yet in shape as she clocked 11.64 in heats and went out. Olympic champion Melaine Walker took the women’s 400 m hurdles edging Kaliese Spencer at 54.70 by 0.01. 2005 World champion Trecia Smith achieved good 14.43 (+1.2) triple jump win. In 400 m semis fastest times by Shericka Williams (50.88) and Ricardo Chambers (45.43).
Demus 53.78 at 400 m hurdles
EUGENE (USA, June 27): Lashinda Demus clocked first years sub 54 seconds at 400 m hurdles with 53.78 during third day of US Championships. Qualified also other two favorites Sheena Tosta (54.45) and Tiffany Williams (55.18). LaShawn Merritt won the 400 m as expected and equalled his own world lead 44.50. Surprise second spot for Berlin went to Gil Roberts (44.93) and third was hurdles champion Kerron Clement (45.14). He might not run so the next is Lionel Larry (45.40) as US can have three plus title defender Jeremy Wariner. In high hurdles drama David Payne beats Terrence Trammell by thousands (both 13.12) and third qualifier is Aries Merritt with 13.15. First out of the game is Eric Mitchum (13.24) as another favorite Dexter Faulk was only 8th (13.77). Dwight Phillips won with windy 857 the long jump ahead of Brian Johnson (826w), surprise George Kitchens (823w), Miguel Pate (820, +1.5) and junior Goodwin (818, +1.3). Sanya Richards won easily the 400 m (50.05) beating Debbie Dunn (50.79) and Jessica Beard (50.81). In pole vault counting battle Brad Walker was the best (575), also vaulters down to fourth place cleared 575 in order Jeremy Scott, Derek Miles and Toby Stevenson. Shannon Rowbury won the 1500 m in 4:05.07 with Christine Wurth second (4:06.00) and Anna Willard third (4:07.70). Joshua McAdams was first in tactical steeple (8:29.91), second for Dave Huling (8:32.86) and third Kyle Alcorn (8:34.65). In throws excellent javelin improvement close to US record by Kara Patterson (63.95) and hammer winner AG Kruger (75.31).
