Asafa Powell, the former World Record holding sprinter from Jamaica, is on the comeback trail after suffering a shoulder injury in April. While he isn’t quite back to the speed that set the record, he did run the 100m in 9.96 which is the sixth fastest time of anyone so far this year.
He will face his former teammate and rival, Usain Bolt, this weekend (June 27-29) at the Jamaican National Championships and Olympic trials in Kingston.
