Asafa Powell has broken Tim Montgomery's 100m world record, setting a time of 9.77 seconds. Powell was favourite for the Olympic title last year but only finished 5th in the final.

I hope he's tested so that it is a legal run, was the wind factor ok as well?

Great achievement but can they REALLY differentiate between 9.77 and 9.78 seconds? Surely there is bound to be a small margin of error?
