Last night Willie Gault (49) run 7"07 at Millrose Games in NY.
Before that race, Mario Longo (45) the current holder of the record (6"97, run in Ancona several days ago) sent him this message by facebook:

Mario Longo
il mio sincero In bocca al lupo! a Willie Gault perchè possa fare suo il record del mondo...e darmi così...stimoli nuovi per farlo ancora mio!! Nel caso non ci riuscisse stasera...spero che qualcuno...possa fargli arrivare questo messaggio in cui gli propongo un'altra possibilità ma non a distanza...fianco a fianco!!

Translation:
My sincere good luck to Willie Gault, because he could beat the world record... so he could give me new power to run a new world record too!! In chase tonight he'll couldn't do it, I hope someone can get him this message in which I propose another possibility... but not so remote... side by side!!!
