RALEIGH, North Carolina, (Reuters) – Former world sprint title holder Tyson Gay has a lofty goal in mind for August’s global championships – three trips to the podium just like six years ago.
Completely fit for the first time since winning gold in the 100 and 200 metres and 4×100 relay at the 2007 worlds, Gay told Reuters he will run both sprints at next week’s U.S. championships, then seek a spot on the relay team for Moscow.
“I want to do the double for sure,” the 30-year-old Gay, American record holder in the short sprint, said in a telephone interview from his central Florida training base.
