Bolt sets a new best in Korea
0 Comments | Western Daily Press, May 20, 2010
World and Olympic 100 metre champion Usain Bolt set the fastest time of the year so far in his first big race of the 2010 season in Daegu.
The Jamaican made a slow start at the Pre-Championships meeting in South Korea but recovered to power away from the rest of the field to claim victory in a time of 9.86 seconds.
Bolt’s compatriot Michael Frater was second, but he was almost three tenths of a second slower than his countryman in a time of 10.15secs.
American Mike Rodgers was third, ahead of Trell Kimmons.
Another American, Travis Padgett, had been tipped as the man likely to be closest to Bolt, but he trailed home in fifth place.
Bolt now moves on to Sunday’s Diamond League meeting in Shanghai, where he will race in the 200 metres.
