10 Things You Don’t Want To Miss At The 2008 Summer Olympics

The highly anticipated race to find out the world’s fastest man is likely to be a close contest between U.S.A.’s Tyson Gay and Jamaica’s Asafa Powell. The American sprinter won gold medals during the 2007 World Championships in Athletics in Osaka, Japan at the 100-meter, 200-meter and 4×100-meter events. Gay was also named the Men’s Track & Field Athlete of the Year, a title that was held by Powell in 2006. At the Olympic Trials in July, Gay’s hamstring cramped during a 200-meter race, which made him ineligible to run in his best event in Beijing since he didn’t finish in the required top three. Powell for his part is a self-confessed lazybones and working on getting his focus in the right place for the biggest sprint of his lifetime. Watch the two come head to head on Friday (8/15) and Saturday (8/16) during the Primetime hours.
