Asafa Powell of Jamaica is about to set the new world record in the 100 meters dash running 9.74 seconds at the Rieti Grand Prix, Italy, Sunday Sept. 9, 2007.  Powell, who has run 9.77 three times, finished third in the 100 last month at the world athletics championships in Osaka, Japan. (AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino)RIETI, Italy (AP) - Asafa Powell set another world record in the 100 meters, and suspects he can go even faster. The world's fastest man improved his record Sunday, winning a heat at the Rieti Grand Prix in 9.74 seconds despite easing at the end.

"This means that I can do even 9.68," Powell said. "I'm worth that time, I know it."

The record comes only two weeks after the Jamaican finished a disappointing third at the track and field world championships in Osaka, Japan.
