Usain Bolt remained unbeaten this season by clocking 9.91 Tuesday to win the 100 meters at the Golden Spike meet. In only his second race of the year, Bolt pulled away from fellow Jamaican Steve Mullings to finish with the exact same time he set in Rome last week.
Mullings timed 9.97 for the second place and Daniel Bailey of Antigua was third in 10.08. The race was held with a slight headwind, but Bolt said he had expected to improve on his performance in Rome, where he only edged Jamaican rival Asafa Powell shortly before the finish line. “My time 9.91 is not bad but it could be better,” Bolt said. “I expected faster time.” Bolt’s next stop will be the Bislett Games, a Diamond League meeting in Oslo on June 9 as he warms up for the Aug. 27-Sept. 4 world championships in Daegu, South Korea.
