metres race at the Rome Golden Gala, Diamond League, which took place today. Justin beat
Usain by one-hundredth of a second, that's like 1% of a second. Justin actually had to
dip his head over the line to win in 9.94 seconds. Usain came in 9.95.
Usain was making his first appearance in the Diamond League this season since his recent
recovery from a hamstring injury. Usain explained what happened to him:
"I got the perfect start that I wanted, then about five steps in I stumbled a bit
and that kind of threw my game off. My legs didn't feel like my legs coming into the
straight. I guess I need to do more strength work. I think I just need time to get it
back together but the fact I got a good start threw me off. At least I got under 10
seconds.
"It is always a good thing to lose. You can figure how to step it up. I knew I
wasn't in great shape but I'm not worried. It takes time to get back into shape and I
didn't expect much from this race."
Usain's next race will be in the men's 200m in next Thursday's Diamond League meeting in
Oslo.
