Former world champion Tyson Gay equalled the second fastest 100 metres time ever on Sunday when he clocked 9.69 seconds at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. Gay's time equalled the world record set by Jamaican Usain Bolt when he won the 100 metres final at last year's Beijing Olympics.
Bolt reduced his record to 9.58 seconds at this year's Berlin world championships. Gay's team mate Carmelita Jeter overtook Marion Jones as the world's second fastest women over 100 metres when she clocked 9.64 seconds. Only the late Florence Griffith-Joyner has run faster.
