Tyson Gay nailed the sprint double on Thursday. Gay, who won the 100 metres on Sunday, became only the third man to win both the 100 and 200 at a world championships when he outpaced the field to triumph in 19.76 seconds.
He joined compatriots Maurice Greene and Justin Gatlin in accomplishing the feat. "What I did here was a lot of strength, hard work and prayer. I did it for my coach and family...it feels great," Gay told reporters.
Gay, whose winning time was a championship record, had trailed Jamaica's Usain Bolt after 100 metres. "It shocked me, I was slightly frightened," he said.
"He gave me a run for my money. Coming off the curve to see him winning -- I'm not used to that. "After the race I was extremely tired. Couldn't really put up my arms to celebrate. The 100 took a lot of focus. But I've never won a 200m on a major stage."
Euphoric as he was, the 24-year-old kept his feet on the ground when asked if his win made him the best of all time. "I wouldn't say that," he smiled. "To be the greatest of all time you've got to do it over and over and indoors."

Any idea what his top speed is?

About 40km/hr.

Michael Johnson's record of 19.32 had him at around 26 MPH, so he is probably 25 MPH

Gay ran an amazing race. Powell was coming off of an injury earlier this year though...no doubt he will be ready for the '08 olympics. gay really finished the race very well...he hit his top speed and just burned it up.

If you get a chance, check out the 4x100 relay (it was on today) form the world championships....Gay ran 3rd leg for the US. they led the whole way, but Powell ran anchor for Jamaica and almost fucking took over for the win...I mean he really accelerated.
