Out the blocks and into our HBM TOP 10 Ranking of ALL-TIME with the man who has the MOST sub-10 second 100m clockings in history: 97 between 2004 and 2016!!! 💨

In addition, Powell has the most 100m World Records to his name of any sprinter in history, matched by his longevity at the top – 13 years inside the World’s Top 10! Interestingly though, Powell is the only athlete inside our Men’s HBM ALL-TIME TOP 10 without an Olympic Gold to his name; major titles often eluding him throughout his otherwise inspiring career! 💪
