OSTRAVA, Czech Republic — Olympic champion and world record holder Usain Bolt showed his class by winning the 100 metres at the Golden Spike meet in 9.77 seconds.
Bolt had a strong tail wind of 2.1 metres per second but he wasn’t complaining.
"I’m just happy I got under 10 seconds," Bolt said Wednesday. "Sometimes I got the right wind, sometimes I don’t. I’m just happy I ran injury free."
"It was quicker than I thought," said the Jamaican, who was cheered by the crowd long after his race.
Bolt cruised to victory ahead of Britain’s Craig Pickering, who finished well behind in 10.08.
Ronald Pogon of France was third in 10.17.
