Tyson Gay will be looking to complete a Jamaican double within a space of a week in the Aviva London Grand Prix meeting at Crystal Palace this Friday.

The 27-year-old Kentucky flyer caused a storm across the athletics world last Friday in Stockholm, Sweden when he shattered the two-year 100m unbeaten run of Jamaica’s world record holder Usain Bolt, clocking a sparkling 9.84 seconds to the Trelawny sprint machine’s 9.97.

Gay, the current world number two, will now be prowling for another Jamaican scalp, the former world record holder Asafa Powell in the two-heat championship style men’s 100m event - their first meeting since last September, with the American currently leading 8 races to 7 in the head-to-heads.

The 16-man line-up also features Mark-Lewis Francis, fresh from winning silver at the European Championships in Barcelona and Jamaican Yohan Blake.

Besides the blue ribbon event, this two-day meeting will also feature a host of British gold medal winners from the Europeans including Belgrave Harriers triple jumper Phillips Idowu, double 5000m and 10,000m king Mo Farah who takes on USA’s world indoor champion Bernard Lagat in the 3,000m, while Andy Turner take on the world’s top two fastest men in the 110m hurdles this year David Oliver and Dayron Robles.

Crowd favourites reigning world indoor champion Lolo Jones and Canada’s world silver medallist Priscilla Lopes-Schliep along with Olympic champion Dawn Harper go in the women’s 100m hurdles, while the Jamaican duo of Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart battle it out with USA’s World champion Allyson Felix in the women’s 200m sprints.

Highlight of the field events is a mouthwatering re-match in the women’s javelin as the three medallists from the European Championships Germany’s gold and silver winners Linda Stahl and Christina Obergfoll along with bronze winner from the Czech Republic Barbora Spotakova renew their competition.

In the men’s high jump Brixton-based Samson Oni arrives at the Palace on a back of a morale boosting victory in McCain JumpsFest and ThrowsFest at Copthall Stadium, Hendon last Sunday.

The 29-year-old former Brixton Topcat basketballer and Southwark Council employee will need to break his 2.30m best if he wants to beat the current world top three of Ivan Ukhov, Dusty Jonas and Aleksandr Shustov.

The event is being televised on BBC TV while tickets area vailable on 08000 556056.
