Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang breaks record over 110m

AGENCIES , BEIJING AND GENEVA

Leonard Scott of the US led from start to finish in the men's 100m, but in a modest 10.05 despite the balmy temperatures. Olusoji Fasuba of Nigeria was second in 10:09 with the same time as Michael Frater, but Fasuba edged the Jamaican on the photo finish.

The meeting took a hit when co-world record-holder Justin Gatlin withdrew from the 100m with a sore knee and Jamaica's Asafa Powell, who shares the record with the American, declined to replace him.
