World champion Tyson Gay has pulled out of a meeting with world record holder Asafa Powell over 100m in Friday's Golden League meeting in Brussels. "The American is feeling too tired after the world championships to face Asafa Powell on Friday," race organisers said in a statement.
Gay won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay in Osaka.
Powell was third in the 100m but set a new world record of 9.74 seconds at the Rieti Grand Prix in Italy on Sunday.
Race organisers said that they had also tried and failed to tempt Gay into a 200m race against the other Osaka medalists and compatriot Xavier Carter, who missed the World Championships.
Carter looked impressive at last week's Golden League meeting in Zurich, winning the 200m in 19.92 seconds.
