A rejuvenated Tyson Gay who is back after nursing his hamstring injury some 11 months ago, showed the world he still can run.

Gay ran 19.58 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix last Saturday.

He clocked the third-best time in history and a season best.

Only Usain Bolt 19.30s at Beijing and Michael Johnson’s 19.32s at 1996 Olympics was faster.

Tyson next race is likely the nationals.

well usain just showed that 19.58 in good weather is nothing
the bolt ran 19.59 in 60F and soked track in a eavy rainfall with a .9 headwind.
while that mear 19.58 of tyson was done with a wind at his back helping him, of 1.3

tyson you still have work to do if you gan even attempt to touch the bolt
