Athletics: Dix edges out Gay

Walter Dix spoiled Tyson Gay's return when he won the 200m at the Prefontaine Classic in 19.72 seconds yesterday.

Gay timed 19.76. He has not competed since May because of a hamstring injury.

The Prefontaine was a first step towards challenging Usain Bolt's dominance in the 100 and 200.

Bolt, the world record-holder in both events, did not compete at the meet in Eugene, Oregon, part of the elite IAAF Diamond League series.
