Tyson Gay
Tyson Gay (born August 9, 1982) is an American track and field sprint athlete who competes in the 100-meter and 200-meter dash. His 100 m personal best of 9.69 seconds is the American record and makes him the second fastest athlete ever. His 200 m time of 19.58 makes him the fifth fastest athlete in that event. Gay has won numerous medals in major international competitions, including a gold medal sweep of the 100 m, 200 m and 4×100-meter relay at the 2007 Osaka World Championships. This made him the second man to win all three events at the same World Championships, after Maurice Greene (Usain Bolt duplicated the feat two years later). Gay is a three-time U.S. champion in the 100 m. At the 2008 Olympic Trials, he ran 9.68 seconds in the 100 m, then the fastest time in history, but was prevented from becoming a world record because it was wind assisted. Days after he suffered a severe hamstring injury in the 200 m trials. The injury persisted and contributed to his failure to win a single medal at the Beijing Olympics. His performance of 9.71 seconds to win the 100 m silver medal in the 2009 World Championships is the fastest non-winning time for the event. At the 2012 Summer Olympics he ran 9.80 in the 100 m final, but finished fourth, making him the fastest non-medalist in Olympic history. He won his first Olympic medal, a silver, with an American record run of 37.04 seconds in the 2012 Olympic 4×100 m relay final. As a participant in the US Anti-Doping Agency's "Project Believe" program, Gay is regularly tested to ensure that his system is clean of performance-enhancing drugs. He is a two-time winner of the Jesse Owens Award and was the 2007 IAAF World Athlete of the Year.
