Tyson Gay (born August 9, 1982 in Lexington, Kentucky) is an American sprinter who won gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4 x 100 metres relay at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics. He is the third fastest athlete in the history of the 100 and 200 metre races, with times of 9.77 and 19.62 seconds respectively. Gay's most notable performance came when he ran the 100 m final of the U.S Olympic Trials in 9.68 seconds. However, the recorded wind aid of +4.1 m/s far exceeded the legal limit of 2 m/s, meaning the time cannot be officially registered as a World Record. This time still remains as the fastest time ever recorded in any 100 m event, under any condition.
