LONDON -- Marion Jones sped to the fastest 100 meters time of the year on
Saturday at the London grand prix leaving an impressive field struggling in
her wake.
Jones clocked 10.78 seconds with the help of a 1.1 meters
following wind, well ahead of her main rival Inger Miller in
the adjoining lane who finished second 0.19 of a second
behind.
The 24-year-old American aims for five gold medals at next
month's Sydney Olympics and over 100 metres at least she
looks untouchable. She defeated Miller, the world 200
champion, just as comprehensively with a wind-assisted
10.68 in Stockholm last Tuesday.
"I wanted to come here and run a bit faster," she said. "But
I'm ahead of the game where I was last year. If I stay
healthy and happy, you guys watch out.
"It's a blast at the moment. I'm 24-years young and I'm
having a ball. I know I am not invincible and there are
people who can beat me but things are looking good for the
Olympics."
