INDIANAPOLIS - Sprinter Xavier Carter, who won four national titles last
month at the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Championships, ran the second-fastest men's
200m time in history, and China's Olympic champion Liu Xiang broke the men's
110m hurdles world record Tuesday at the 'Athletissima' Super Grand Prix
meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Running out of lane 8, Carter poured it on down the stretch to pass fellow
American Tyson Gay to win the men's 200 meters in the shocking time of 19.63
seconds (wind +0.4 mps), the second fastest time in history. Only Michael
Johnson's world record time of 19.32 seconds from the 1996 Olympic Games in
Atlanta is faster. Carter's previous fastest time in the 200 meters was 20.02
seconds from last year.
Gay finished as the runner-up in a blistering 19.70 seconds, which is the
fifth-fastest time in history. Jamaican Usain Bolt was third in 19.88
seconds, with reigning World Outdoor Championships silver medalist Wallace
Spearmon finishing fourth in 19.90 seconds, just off his personal best of
19.89 from last year. 2004 World Junior 400m champion LaShawn Merritt
finished fifth with a new personal best time of 20.10.
