Gatlin sets new world 100m record
World and Olympic champion Justin Gatlin became the new 100m world record holder at the IAAF Super Tour meeting in Doha on Friday.
The 24-year-old American clocked 9.76 seconds to break Asafa Powell's mark by one-hundredth of a second.
"I feel like I'm the best of the best," He said "I'm double world champion, Olympic champion and now the world recorder holder.
"But the race was not one of my best and I know I can go faster."
Gatlin had already been in red hot form this season, clocking 9.95 in his first outing of the season in Osaka and 9.85 in the Doha semi-finals.
The American's new world mark knocked 0.09secs off his previous personal best of 9.85 - the time he ran to capture the Olympic crown in Athens
