WHAT ARE THEY UP TO
SPRINTERS WORLD: Three of the current best sprinters of the planet did not meet on the circuit in one race in 2010. But they ran against each other one time. Usain Bolt beat Asafa Powell in Paris and lost to Tyson Gay in Stockholm and Gay beat Powell in Gateshead.
Bolt started his training in excellent way in Kingston early last month and is this week in Europe for promotional reasons. He watched on Sunday Milano football derby, visited Ferrari headquarters in Maranello (also driving on fast cars) and continued to France. There he will recieve on Tuesday the Sports Academy Grand Prix 2010 Award. He will do a number of interviews and photo shoots in Paris (Canal+, L´Equipe, Men´s Health etc.) and will spend Wednesday in Munich.
Tyson Gay also started his training for 2011 earlier than in past years and his agent Mark Wetmore informs that he is healthy after some years with difficulties at this time of the year. Gay is one of the finalists of IAAF World Athletes of the Year poll and will be in Monte Carlo over the weekend.
Third in the party Asafa Powell also started some weeks ago his training for 2011 and was a special guest over the weekend in Atlanta at the wedding of Trinidad´s sprinter Marc Burns. All three do not plan races during the coming indoor season.
