Tyson Gay - 100m and 200m Olympic Track Sprinter

Tyson Gay is the current double world champion and American Olympic track sprinter. Not sot so long ago looks like Tyson Gay would become the one who would break Asafa Powell world 100m record. But suddenly there comes Usain Bolt who beat him and the world record too with a new time 9.72s recently. So come on Tyson. Let's make the fight even more interesting from now on. And you know what Tyson Gay has just recorded a 4m/s wind aided 9.68s run recently. So I believe with this new rivalry this upcoming Beijing Olympic will be something to look forward indeed. You can check out below for Us 100m sprinter Tyson Gay pictures gallery, sprinting videos and the latest news on his track career.

Tyson Gay Biography And Profile 

The following is Tyson Gay biography, his sports profile and latest achievement.

Tyson Gay (born August 9, 1982) is an American track and field sprinter. His primary events are the 100 meters and 200 meters. His personal bests establish him as the second fastest athlete in the 100 meter dash and the third fastest athlete in the history of the 200 meter dash, with times of 9.69 (which is a United States recordhttp://berlin.iaaf.org/news/kind=100/newsid=53047.html) and 19.58 seconds respectively.

Gay has won numerous medals in major international competitions, highlighted by his gold medal sweep of the 100 m, 200 m and 4 x 100 meters relay at the 2007 Osaka World Championships. This made Gay the 200 m World Championships record holder and only the second sprinter to win all three events at the same World Championships, after Maurice Greene. At the 2008 US Olympic Trials Gay established the US record in the 100 m with a time of 9.77 s, and also ran the second fastest time ever recorded in the 100 m (9.68 s) which was aided by a non-legal wind of 4.1 meters per second (the allowable for official IAAF record purposes being 2.0 m/s).

At the same meet, Gay suffered a severe hamstring injury in the 200 m event. The injury persisted and this contributed to his failure to win a single medal at the Beijing Olympics. As a participant in the US Anti-Doping Agency's "Project Believe" program, Gay is regularly tested to ensure that his system is clean of performance-enhancing drugs.
