9.77 by Justin Gatlin of the USA. Not sure of the date. Justin Gatlin (born February 10, 1982) is an American sprinter. He is Olympic gold medalist who shares the world record in the 100m sprint (with Asafa Powell) with a time of 9.77 seconds. On May 12, 2006, Gatlin, running in the final of the IAAF Super Tour meeting in Doha, Qatar, equalled the 100m world record of 9.77s (set in 2005 by Jamaica's Asafa Powell.) It had originally been reported that he had beaten the record, with a time of 9.76 seconds +1.7m/s wind. However, the IAAF revealed on May 16 that his time had been 9.766 seconds, which was subsequently rounded up to 9.77, in line with regulations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Gatlin [Added reference - McG] Feb 18 07, 6:34 PM
