American sprinter Tyson Gay notched the world's best 100m of 2011 on Saturday as he posted 9.79sec at a low-key meeting in Clermont, Florida.

Gay, 28, improved on the 9.89 run by Jamaican Steve Mullings in May, and also pipped the 9.80sec that Mullings delivered in winning the 100m at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting in Eugene, Oregon, a few hours later for the year's fastest to date.
