		Jamaica Gleaner News - Asafa Powell, Sherone Simpson on IAAF's shortlist - Thursday
		JAMAICAN SPRINTERS Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson are on the shortlist for the IAAF's World Athlete of the Year awards.
		Powell, who twice equalled his world record of 9.77 seconds in the 100 metres this year, along with Simpson, who had the fastest 100m and 200m times this season, were on the final men's and women's lists announced by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) yesterday.

	Asafa Powell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asafa Powell (born 11 November 1982) is a Jamaican sprinter, and is current the 100 m world record holder.
		Powell first came to the attention of the athletics world at the 2003 world championships when he suffered the ignominy of being the 'other' athlete disqualified for a false start in the semi-final where Jon Drummond memorably refused to leave the track having suffered the same fate.
		Asafa won the 2006 Commonwealth Games title easily but had to get through a drama-filled semi-final which saw two disqualifications, three false starts and Powell himself running into another competitor's lane while looking at the scoreboard (he was held not to have impeded the other runner).

		The Powells were strict parents who did not give their boys much room to stray and who did not spare the rod in cases where it was necessary to keep them in line.
		"Asafa was the one who would always be in my arms, even now as a big man when he comes home the first thing he does is spread out in my arms and I have to remind him that he is not a child anymore," she said, smiling.
		Reverend Powell, too, was shot in his jaw some years ago at his home in a robbery attempt, and pointed to the bullet hole that remains on his front door.

		Ironically Powell set his mark on a track where he had suffered perhaps the greatest disappointment of his young career when, highly favoured in an open 100M Olympic final last year, he failed to step up to the plate and finished fifth.
		However, it was to be Boldon's stablemate Maurice Greene that was to serve as Powell's role model with the 'Kansas City Comet' a proven winner with three world titles, the Olympic crown and the world record set in 1999 on the same track as Powell.
		Powell indicated that he would be a real threat to the established stars when prior to the Olympics last year he ran under 10 seconds four times including setting the national record of 9.91 seconds.
