Jamaica's Asafa Powell beat his countryman, world-record holder Usain Bolt, in a head-to-head match-up in Stockholm. Here's the video:

Once considered the favorite to win gold in Beijing, Powell was becoming a little bit overlooked recently after Bolt broke the world record and American Tyson Gay put on a tremendous performance at the U.S. Olympic trials.

But by beating Bolt, Powell re-established himself as one of the favorites in Beijing. The Bolt-Powell-Gay 100-meter race will be one of the top events at the Summer Olympics; it's anyone's guess who will win the gold, but it would be a big upset if they don't all come home with medals.
