Even better was his speed over what is termed “the flying 100” – from 50-150m – which he covered in just 8.70 sec!
“It is one more to the tally,” said Bolt about his victory, “I thought I would just go out there and run a good time. I’m not in the best shape and I still have a lot of work to do but I am getting there.”
