BERLIN, September 11, 2008 (AFP) - Jamaica's Asafa Powell has been over-shadowed by compatriot and triple Olympic gold-medalist Usain Bolt this season, but the former world 100m record holder aims to finish in style in Stuttgart.

After five sub-ten second 100m races in eight days, and only one loss, in Brussels last Friday to Bolt, Powell will be looking to bring the curtain down on his season at the World Athletics Final with another fast time.

Powell has already run sub-ten second times in the last two years the final has been held in the German city and with Bolt now back in Jamaica resting after his record-shattering season, Powell will look to dominate the field.

He clocked 9.89 seconds in 2006 and 9.83sec last year.

After last year's performance, into a strong head wind, Powell said: 'It was one of my best, I was looking for a little more.'

And he might well get it having been one of the few athletes to beat world-record holder Bolt this season when the Olympic champion suffered from a slow start in Stockholm on July 22 and Powell shaded him 9.88sec to 9.89.

Since his disappointing 5th place in Beijing's 100m final, the Commonwealth champion has been in scorching form with a personal best time of 9.72sec in Lausanne on September 2 - just shy of Bolt's world best 9.69.

With a bonus of 100,000 dollars on offer for any world records set at the World Athletics Final, Powell has plenty of incentive to dig deep one more time this summer.

The men?s 100m in Stuttgart takes place at 15.15hrs (GMT) on Saturday 13 September.
