They didn’t run

The showdown that many were expecting between the two fastest men did not materialize. Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell did exactly what they said they were going to do, qualify but not race each other. The pair were obviously a cut above the rest of the field, jogging comfortably to a 1-2 finish with Bolt winning in 9.85s. It was clear from looking on though that both Asafa and Bolt had turned off the jets when they had asserted their dominance. Michael Frater was third in 10.04s.
