Thursday,
May 17, 2006 Gatlin’s time corrected to 9.77 – EQUALS 100m World Record
Based on his time recorded after winning the race, Gatlin ran 9.766 seconds for 100m, which was then announced as 9.76 - a new World Record for this distance. However, according to IAAF rules, this time should have been manually rounded up to 9.77. Therefore, Gatlin’s time will now be adjusted to 9.77, and pending ratification, will equal the previous 100m World Record of Asafa Powell (JAM) set in 2005. IAAF NB. Confirmation of the timings for the entire 100m race in Doha will be made shortly.
