Beijing Olympics, Usain Bolt beat American Walter Dix (9.99 seconds) and Trinidadian Richard Thompson (10.09 seconds) to win the 100 meters clocking 9.83 seconds at the Weltklasse Golden League meeting held at the Letzigrund Stadium on Friday.
Though his start was poor, earning him the slowest reaction time on the field, Bolt recovered quickly and by mid-race was 'bolting' to an easy victory.
"It was a good nice track..." Bolt said. He also acknowledged that his start was not his best, but he "concentrated on winning..." He blames his slower time on his having a cold.
The meet was not a great success for the Caribbean as there were only a few medals earned. Bahamian Chris Brown placed third in the 400 metres in 45.05 seconds, Jamaican Danny McFarlane also finished third in the 400 metres hurdles in 48.40 seconds and Novlene Williams earned bronze in the 400 metres clocking 50.78 seconds.
