adminAsafa Powell, who held the world record before Bolt became athletics’ biggest star, is considering switching from the 200 to the 100 at the Jamaica International Invitational because of a minor groin injury.
Meeting official Donald Quarrie said no decision had been made, but the sprinter’s agent said they are evaluating all options.
Powell originally had been scheduled to run the 200 against 100 metres world champion Yohan Blake, but the groin injury has the world’s third fastest man contemplating a move to the shorter, less stressful distance.
“If I don’t run the 200 and get in the 100, that would be fine with me because this is what I’m training for and I have to be ready at anytime,” Powell told Reuters. “I feel good so we’ll see.”— Reuters.
