BERLIN, Germany (AFP) -- While triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt
passed over his chance to claim a share of the million-dollar jackpot,
instead running 10.00secs in Canada over the weekend, his training
partner Daniel Bailey took the men's 100m at Berlin's Golden League
opener on Sunday.
"I came here to win this race, so I can't be disappointed," said Bailey after his win.
"I came here sick and I am recovering from 'flu, so my time is alright.
"The track feels fast and I am sure I can go faster at the world championships."
The Antiguan ran 10.03secs in a field missing any names who ran the
Olympic final, while Bolt will be back at Berlin's Olympic Stadium in
August to attempt to add world golds to his 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay
golds from Beijing.
In the women's 100m, Jamaica's Kerron Stewart ran 11 seconds dead to claim victory despite a stumbling start.
"That feels so good, I didn't expect to run that fast and I even
stumbled out of the blocks, so I have no complaints," said the
25-year-old, who won two gold medals in Beijing. |
