There’s only one man who can be called THE fastest in the world, and that man is Asafa Powell. Blazing fast, Powell has not only held the world record on two separate occasions, he’s shattered it. He trimmed .03 seconds off his initial record time, and believes he can go even faster still.

In preparation for the tough competition that lies ahead in Beijing, Powell plans to race in Australia and London, and continue to train hard. The reward? A gold around his neck at the Games and a title only one person can have: fastest man in the world.
