American 100m world record holder Maurice Greene continued his quest for his target of 9.60 seconds with a promising 9.91 at the Athens Grand Prix meeting in Athens tonight.
Greene, who set his world record time of 9.79 in the same Tsiklitiria competition two years ago, shaved 0.05 of a second from this season's previous best set a month ago.
Greene had a late departure from the blocks and was under pressure from training partner Ato Boldon of Trinidad, who clocked 9.97. Bernard Williams of the United States was third in 10.07.
"I am satisfied with the result although I was expecting something better. I will try harder next time," Greene said after the race. -AFP
