Assalamualaikum,




Bolt celebrates as he crosses the finishing line [AFP]

Olympic 100 metres champion Usain Bolt won the Jamaican title over rival Asafa Powell in Kingston and then declared that American world champion Tyson Gay had little chance of breaking his world record.

Bolt, who holds the record with 9.69 seconds set at the Beijing Games last year, ran home in 9.86 against a negative wind at the National Stadium to post the year's fastest non-assisted time.

Powell, who was quicker out of the blocks, was second in 9.97 ahead of Michael Frater (10.02).

Gay ran a speedy, albeit wind-assisted 9.75 seconds in his first 100 metres of the season at the US world championship trials in Eugene, Oregon on Thursday, and said after the race that he felt he could break Bolt's record if he could improve his start.
