100m battle to spice up World Athletics championships






There are three finals today: the men's 20km walk in the morning session, with the men's shot-put and women's 10,000m in the evening session.

But it will be at 11:40am local time and in the quarter-finals later in the day when interest will peak, when the run-in to the expected final duel between Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay, triple Olympic and triple world sprint champions respectively, finally kicks off.

Rarely has there been a more eagerly anticipated race-off between two sprinters who are the world's current leaders over the blue riband event, the final of which is run on Sunday night after earlier semi-finals.

There are four other athletes with sub-10sec credentials this season, all with good chances for a podium finish.
