The '''men's 100 metres''' at the [[2009 World Championships in Athletics]] were held at the [[Olympic Stadium (Berlin)|Olympic Stadium]] on August 15 and August 16. The two main contenders for the event were the reigning World Champion [[Tyson Gay]] and [[Usain Bolt]], the reigning Olympic champion and world record holder. Gay entered the competition with a season's best of 9.77&nbsp;seconds (an [[List of United States records in track and field|American record]]) while Bolt's season's best was 9.79&nbsp;seconds. Four other competitors had broken the [[10-second barrier]] during the last months before the World Championship: former world record holder [[Asafa Powell]], Olympic finalist [[Churandy Martina]] and emerging sprinters [[Daniel Bailey]] and [[Mike Rodgers (athlete)|Mike Rodgers]].<ref>Ramsak, Bob (2009-08-09).

{{Quote|They get away first time. Tyson Gay right alongside Usain Bolt, but here he goes, streaking away already. It's Bolt all the way, he's looking 'round at Gay. Watch the clock – it's gold for Bolt! ''And again! He's done it again!'' A new world record for Usain Bolt! They say lightning doesn't strike twice! Can you believe it? He is flying!

The world belongs to Bolt, Berlin belongs to Bolt; 9.58, stunning, absolutely stunning! Gay was good – he was very, very good...there are adjectives which are inadequate to describe this man. He is brilliant beyond compare. We have seen nothing like this, ever, ever. He writes his own history with every stride that he takes. He is a star beyond compare, a talent beyond compare...frightening, absolutely frightening.
