Hines, first 100m sprinter to break 10sec dies

US sprinter Jim Hines, the first man to run the 100m in under 10sec, has died at the age of 76. He broke the record in 1968 when he recorded a handtimed 9.9sec at the US Championships. Hines then broke his own record shortly after while winning gold at the 1968 Olympics, where an electronic timer in Mexico City recorded him at 9.95.
