Frater Michael, 10.04 Usain Bolt gave an emphatic demonstration of his readiness for an Olympic three-peat by running 9.88 (1.0m/s) to win the 100m at the JN Racers Grand Prix in Kingston, Jamaica. The contest itself was worthy of an Olympic final with Bolt, Yohan Blake and Asafa Powell – three Jamaicans ranked in the top four on the world all-time list – coming together in a rare face-off. This was their fourth meeting, and once again it was the world record-holder who reigned supreme. Bolt, who was drawn in lane four between Blake on his right and Powell to his left, got off to a disastrous start, rekindling visions of what happened in the semi-final at the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015. However, the six-time Olympic champion recovered quickly midway through the race and responded with his familiar unrelenting top-end speed from the 60-metre mark to power away to a scintillating victory. Bolt even had the audacity to ease down considerably in the final 10 metres. “I’m happy I got a season best," said Bolt afterwards. "It wasn’t a perfect race but the key thing is that I actually won and that’s a good thing and I came out injury-free. It’s all about execution sometimes and even if you don’t get it you have to be strong, composed and just run through the line.” Nickel Ashmeade was a surprise runner-up, edging 2011 world champion Blake at the finish line with both registering identical season’s best times of 9.94. Powell rounded out the top four with his first legal sub-10 this season, running 9.98, thereby making it the first time this season that four men have gone below 10 seconds in the same race. #usainbolt #bolt #100m #racersgrandprix #grandprix #athletics #track #running #worldrecord #asafapowell #yohanblake
