Tim Montgomery of the USA has established a new standard for the men's 100 m. He ran the distance in 9.78 in Paris, which was .01 faster than fellow countryman, Maurice Greene's, standard.

Too bad about Canada's sprint program. We were on top of the world in '96. Our men's 4 X 100 m relay team were at that point the only team in history to defeat the USA in that event. We also had the world's fastest human in Donovan Bailey.
I don't know who our top sprinters are any more. I hear Burny Surin is still around, but it's going to take quite a while bringing our sprinting program back up. Cheers.
