IAAF World Championships - Berlin 2009 - 100 Metres Men Final
DATE: August 16th 2009 (08/16/2009)
RESULTS:
1. Usain Bolt - 9.58 (WR) - *exact time: 9.572
2. Tyson Gay - 9.71 (NR)
3. Asafa Powell - 9.84
4. Daniel Bailey - 9.93
5. Richard Thompson - 9.93
6. Dwain Chambers - 10.00
7. Marc Burns - 10.00
8. Darvis Patton - 10.34
Note: Usain Bolt covered the first 60m in a time of 6.29/6.31 seconds (depending on the study - 'DLV Scientific'), which would have been a world record. However, records for 60m can only be set in that specific event, so the official record remained in the hands of Maurice Greene with a time of 6.39s from February 1998. It was officially broken by Christian Coleman in 2018 with a time of 6.34. Even so, Bolt's 60m split from this race remains the fastest ever.
*Times are recorded down to the thousandth of a second, but they are always rounded up. So a 9.570 is 9.57, but even a 9.571 is already 9.58.
