Gatlin won in 9.87 seconds, one hundredth of a second ahead of Powell.
Powell heads the men’s 100-metre field in Shanghai. There are three other Jamaicans down to compete in the sprint. They are Nesta Carter, Mario Forsythe and Michael Frater.
400-metre hurdler Kaliese Spencer has switched to the women’s 400 metres to compete with world leader Novlene Williams-Mills and Shericka Williams.
Anneisha McLaughlin and Aleen Bailey are down to compete in the women’s 200 metres, while Dwight Thomas will run in the men’s 110-metre hurdles.
The other Jamaicans down to compete are Isa Phillips, Mardrea Hyman and Sheree Francis.
