Thessaloniki, Greece  - Tyson Gay of the United States beat Jamaica's Asafa Powell in the men's 100 metres at the World Athletics Final in Thessaloniki, Greece on Saturday.

Gay clocked 9.88 seconds with a late surge to edge Powell (9.90) and Darvis Patton of the United States (10.00).

Gay took advantage of the absence of Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt, who was a spectator in the stadium ahead of his participation in the 200m on Sunday.

Meanwhile double world and Olympic champion Kenenisa Bekele outsprinted Bernard Lagat of the United States with victory over 3,000 metres.

Thessaloniki, Greece - Greek anarchists raided a supermarket in the northern port city of Thessaloniki and handed out food for free in protest soaring consumer prices, reports said Friday.

About 50 unarmed robbers loaded up trolleys with pasta, milk and other products before storming out of the store without paying, shouting slogans against recent price hikes.

The masked gang then began distributing the stolen goods to people in the street, imitating a spate of similar robberies in grocery stores across Athens during the summer.

The robbers, most of them believed to be women, have never stolen money or hurt anyone in their actions.
