    		Looks like Jamaica's Asafa Powell, at 9.77, beating Tim Montgomery's 9.78 record.

    		Here's a timeline of 100m records leading up to today.

    Measure out 10 metres (about 33 feet) and just imagine a runner covering that distance every second for 10 seconds.
    Covering 11.1 metres per second might be a bit beyond us but never say never.
