FORMER world record holder Asafa Powell ran a wind-assisted 9.72 in the ExxonMobil Diamond League series in Oslo Norway today.
His time today was assisted by a wind measuring 2.1 metres per second.
Powell raced from the blocks and eased down at the line to beat Trinidad’s Richard Thompson, (9.90) and Churanda Martina, (9.92) of the Netherland Antilles into second and third.
Powell’s countrymen Michael Frater and Lerone Clarke were fourth and sixth respectively.
Powell has been good form this year and last week ran the year’s fastest legal time in Ostrava with 9.83.
