Gay expects fast race against Carter in Zagreb

Tyson Gay is expecting one of the fastest races of the year when he comes up against Nesta Carter of Jamaica at a Zagreb meet in Croatia on Wednesday, with both sprinters having set world-leading mark for the season.



The American ran 9.78 seconds in London on August 13, and Carter matched that time at the Rieti Grand Prix in Italy yesterday.



Carter is now the fourth fastest man of all-time with his new personal best

9.78 seconds.



Only his countryman Usain Bolt with his world record 9.58, Gay with 9.69 and Asafa Powell, also of Jamaica, with 9.72 have ran faster.



Gay beat Bolt for the first time earlier this month. He says that his ultimate aim is to win gold at next year's world championships in Daegu, South Korea.
