JAMES Dasaolu produced a blistering sprint of 9.91 seconds to become the second fastest Briton of all time in the 100 meters semifinals at the British Championships yesterday. Dasaolu ran quicker than even world record holder Usain Bolt has managed this year to catapult himself into contention for a medal at next month's world championships. The 25-year-old's time in Birmingham was second only to former Olympic champion Linford Christie. Only Tyson Gay of the United States, who tops the rankings with 9.75, Asafa Powell, who did not qualify for the Jamaica team for Moscow, and America's Justin Gatlin have gone quicker this year. Jamaican Bolt, the double Olympic champion, has a best of 9.94 this year.
