Tyson Gay vs Nesta Carter in Zabreg

Zagreb, Croatia – A 100m showdown between Tyson Gay and Nesta Carter, the year’s two fastest men, and Blanka Vlasic’s first homecoming of the week will take centre stage at the 60th edition of the Hanzekovic Memorial in Zagreb on Wednesday.

Both Gay, the U.S. record holder, and the rapidly-improving Carter will arrive in the Croatian capital for the final IAAF World Challenge Meeting of the season as the co-world leaders at 9.78. Gay’s performance came at the London Samsung Diamond League fixture on 13 August, which he nearly replicated in Brussels last Friday when he clocked 9.79 to capture the Diamond Race Trophy in the event.

Nesta Carter 9.78 !!!!!!!!

RIETI, Italy — Jamaican sprinter Nesta Carter has run 9.78 seconds in the 100 meters at the Rieti Grand Prix, tying American Tyson Gay for the fastest time this year.
Helped by a tail wind of 0.9, Carter used a strong finishing kick to lead an extremely fast field Sunday, with seven of the eight entrants clocking 10 seconds or under.
Ryan Bailey of the United States was the runner-up in a personal best 9.88, Mario Forsythe of Jamaica finished third in a personal best 9.95, and Christophe Lemaitre of France crossed fourth in a national record 9.97.
Gay ran 9.78 into a headwind on a wet track in London earlier this month.
Usain Bolt, who holds the world record of 9.58, and Asafa Powell, who set a then-world record of 9.74 in Rieti three years ago, are both out injured.
