Tyson Gay is an American retired sprinter who competed in the 100 and 200 metres, born on 9 August 1982. His 100 metres best of 9.69 seconds is the American record and ties him as the second fastest man ever over the distance. At the 2007 World Championships in Osaka he won the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4 x 100 metres relay, and he was the 2007 World Athlete of the Year and a four-time United States champion at 100 metres. An injury cost him a medal at the 2008 Olympics, and a 2013 doping suspension led to the loss of his 2012 Olympic relay silver medal.
