Asafa Powell marked his return from injury with a sizzling 9.96s run in Trinidad this weekend at the National Senior Open Championships at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. He ran the fastest time for the meet in his semis ahead of Richard Thompson 10.11s.
Powell was racing for the first time since his pectoral muscle injury. Paul Doyle, Powell’s manager, said “We just wanted him to get one race in before the trials (Jamaica Championships”. Powell will now turn his attention to Saturday’s 100M final against Bolt, who last month broke the world record.
