yson Gay didn't look like a man preparing to end Usain Bolt's sprinting supremacy at the world championships next month.
Limping and lethargic, Gay won the 200-meter race at the London Grand Prix in 20.00 seconds on Saturday. He then needed painkillers to deal with a groin injury and went straight from the track to a treatment room at the Crystal Palace.
Making the worlds in Berlin will be quite a challenge for Gay. The 26-year-old American remains confident, though, that he can defend his 100 and 200 world titles against Bolt, the Olympic champion and world record-holder.
Gay says he's "taking it one day at a time.
"My groin has been tight on me, I'm trying to take a little Advil to run through the pain. Right now I'm running on faith and that's more dangerous than anything. I don't feel anything when I hear the gun. I just run and I'm dangerous.
