    The fastest men in the world on one of the fastest tracks around. Should make for an electric night in the 100-meter dash.

    Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and others will run in the semifinals, with the fastest advancing to the finals on Sunday night.

    Bolt was just OK in the preliminaries on Saturday, starting poorly on his way to a 10.09. That's good for sixth fastest, but the world record holder says he feels great heading into the big day. Americans Ryan Bailey and Justin Gatlin are also in the mix.

    "My legs are great. My training has been great," Bolt says. "I'm feeling better."
