BEIJING (AP) -- U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay says he's "injury-free" after completing a workout at Beijing Normal University.

The defending world champion in the 100 and 200 meters showed no obvious signs of discomfort Sunday while running at a track near the U.S. training center. Gay completed sprints of 60, 80 and 100 meters during a workout that was open to reporters.

Gay hurt his left hamstring while running in preliminary heats in the 200 during last month's U.S. trials. | MORE

He already had qualified for the 100.

After the workout, Gay said he felt no pain and was "pretty confident."

Qualifying starts Friday in the men's 100 meters.
