Published Date:

STAR trio Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay all cruised through to tomorrow's semi-finals but only Tyrone Edgar made it through for Britain as Simeon Williamson and Craig Pickering went out.
Williamson was fourth in his heat in 10.32 and Pickering fifth behind Bolt in 10.18, but Edgar continued his impressive form from this morning with a time of 10.10 in heat three.
World-record holder Bolt looked in awesome form as he strolled to victory in 9.92, despite spending most of the last 50m looking around at the rest of the field.
Powell clocked 10.02 in the final heat while world champion Gay looked to be working a bit harder than the others in finishing second in his heat in 10.09.
