Gay picks Bolt as winner of 100m
DAEGU — Since Tyson Gay of the United States announced he wouldn’t be able to run in the Daegu world championships due to a hip injury, the 100 meters has been viewed by many as a two-horse race between Usain Bolt and his Jamaican teammate Asafa Powell.
But Gay is here in town, not to participate, but to give his take on Daegu giving his predictions for the 100, 200, and 4x100-meter relay.
“I think I am leaning toward Usain Bolt to win (the 100 meters),” Gay said at the Adidas Media Center in Daegu, Thursday. He was invited by Adidas to come to the host city of the 13th IAAF World Championships that will be held in the city 300 kilometers south of Seoul.
