Can someone explain why the 100m winner is the "Fastest Man in the World" considering the times?

MJ (200m) - 19.32sec
Asafa Powell (100m) - 9.77sec

I'm sure everyone is good enough at math to see that MJ was faster than Powell.

You are wrong. MJ is not faster, and if you cant figure it out I can get back to you later.

Plus. I hope you also saw the great Canadian Donovan Bailey race MJ in a 150m event with a corner (Donovan said no corner, but MJ wouldnt give it up because he knew he wasnt as fast as Bailey). After the corner Bailey was so far ahead that MJ pulled up with a lame "hamstring injury" to have some sort of excuse. It didnt matter though because Bailey was way ahead.

Bailey is 'quicker,' he has a faster acceleration...at 200m Johnson would have caught and passed him.
