ASAFA POWELL! Great IP Success!

Hi,

Yesterday I met former Olympic Champion and former world record holder for the 100m, Asafa Powell. With a PB of 9.72 seconds for the 100m, he is considered to be the fourth fastest man ever! I met Asafa at the hotel for the Aviva London Grand Prix athletics on day 2 of the competition.

About 30 seconds after arriving, I was :shock: shocked to see Asafa since he had pulled out of running due to injury, so didn't expect him to be there. He was happy to sign an index card for me, and posed for a photo with me (on my phone, which went wrong because of the zoom!) :roll: However, when I saw him again, he agreed to another photo!

So happy, especially since didn't see him last year either!

Of all the active athletes there are, theres probably only 5-10 I really want to get still.
Usain & Asafa are very high on that list.

Unfortunately, we get ZERO elite level races anywhere near here.
Congrats.
