UNIONDALE, New York (Donovan Bailey World Wide WebSite) -- Maurice Greene raced to victory in the 100 meters at the 1998 Goodwill Games with a time of 9.96 seconds.
Greene blasted out quickly, established the lead and maintained it throughout, beating Boldon by one yard.
Bailey, coming off a series of injuries and illnesses, finished seventh at 10.30. Donovan seemed to shut down with 80 meters left and ran through.
Bailey took it lightly, smiling, then saying, "Everyone's taking this too seriously. It's time to relax."
"My preparation was exceptional," he said. "I guess I lost my concentration out of the blocks. Then, I was down so bad - maybe 10 or 15 meters - I thought I'd just run through."
Greene made an uneducated guess saying: "I guess I'm the world's fastest man. I'm just getting started"
