American Champion Tyson Gay's never say die attitude pays dividends once more. The man many call Mr Top End Speed clips Powell at the line to take the Diamond League even in 9.94 seconds running into a -1.7 Headwind.
Powell as usually got the better start and moved away from the pack by the 50 meter mark, Thinking he had the race won he shuts down foolishly giving the race to an onrushing Tyson Gay .
"I don't feel that bad. I was pushing through to the line and started to ease up a bit too much. I think I forgot it was Tyson Gay out there. In the last 20 – 30m I should have ran differently. But he's a great sprinter and I gave him a chance. I didn't see him coming. Next time I will. I got a great start but I need a strong finish too. Next time I will step it up. I relaxed too soon and he got me on the tape. It's no set back though because I know what shape I'm in. I know I'll be ready for Bolt next week. I ran 9.96 in a headwind so that's pretty good "Powell claims conceding the loss to Gay
