Bolt Wins in 10.05, but Harrison the Star at Cayman Invitational

Published by IAAF on May 15, 2016

Usain Bolt opened his 2016 season by running 10.05 to win the 100m in virtually still conditions (0.1 m/s) at the Cayman Invitational in George Town on Saturday night (14).

The 29-year-old Jamaican got off to a strong start, but trailed American Dentarus Locke at halfway. However over the final 50 metres, as is so often the case, Bolt's longer stride and superior top-end speed soon carried him to the lead, and he was easing down by the time he crossed the line. 

Three years ago – a season in which he went on to win triple gold at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow – Bolt also opened his season in George Town, running 10.09 to win the 100m.
