Ryan Bailey sets fastest time in 100m heats as ... - BBC World News

Team USA?s men?s sprinters demonstrated their 100m credentials as Tyson Gay, Ryan Bailey and Justin Gatlin eased to victory in their heats, with Jamaica?s formidable duo of Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake also progressing with ease.

Usain Bolt ? the world?s fastest man ? posted a modest time of 10.08s, but it was a typically relaxed approach to the line as he won his heat ahead of Antigua?s Daniel Bailey and Britain?s James Dasaolu, who finished in a season?s best 10.13s to progress. Usain Bolt eased to victory in typically relaxed fashion (Picture: Getty) The Jamaican didn?t get off to the best start and admitted he ?stumbled? out of the blocks. ?I?m glad it happened now and not in the final,? he said. But it was 23-year-old Bailey who stole the show, going through to the semi-finals in an impressive 9.88s. America?s Tyson Gay posted a time of 10.08s, while Gatlin bettered that by running 9.97s. ?The performance was good. The track is super-fast. I just want to go out there and focus on my lane and give the spectators something to see,? said Gatlin. World champion Yohan Blake barely looked to have broken sweat as he won his heat in 10seconds dead, showing he?ll be a real contender in Sunday?s final. Britain?s Dwain Chambers finished second in the final heat of the day in a season?s best of 10.02. Kim Collins, representing St Kitts and Nevis, didn?t compete after reportedly being removed from the Games after breaching team rules by staying outside the Olympic Village last night.
