Tyson Gay looked as if he never left: the tense pacing as he waited to be called to his mark, the final nervous sip from a water bottle and the characteristic raising of his arms to the sky before he settled into the blocks were all on display at Saturday's Adidas Grand Prix in New York. And so was the speed. In his first race in almost a year, the American record holder shot out of the blocks and sped to a 10.00 clocking. Far from his best, but considering the injuries and the wind (a minus 1.5 meters/second, which adjusts his time into the 9.90 range) a good start.
