When I saw clips of him running a few times last year I thought he had a good shot of breaking the record. I was really surprised when he didn’t do well in Athens. And, his post record commentary put a smile on my face.

“It wasn’t perfect, my coach is mad at me,” said Powell, “In the last 30m, I was tightening up because I was trying to push it too hard when I should have been relaxing down. I can be faster.”

If former record holder Tim Montgomery keeps his word (to regain his title) it could be a very interesting year in athletics.
