SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) -- Tyson Gay beat Justin Gatlin in the 100 meters at the Diamond League Areva meet Friday, 12 days after losing to the 2004 Olympic champion in the U.S. trials.
Gay dipped across the line in 9.99 seconds, 0.04 ahead of Gatlin. European champion Christophe Lemaitre of France was third in 10.08.
Gay won three gold medals in the 2007 world championships, but has since been affected by various injuries and overtaken by Usain Bolt.
In other events, Javier Culson of Puerto Rico won the men's 400 hurdles, Kenya's David Rudisha took the 800, and Dejen Gebremeskel of Ethiopia won the 5,000 -- all with world-leading times this year.
