Usain Bolt back with a bang in London

Usain Bolt blew away any fears about his fitness and fired a major warning to Justin Gatlin as he blasted to his fastest 100 metres of the year on his return to London’s Olympic Stadium last night.

The world’s fastest man, on his first outing for six weeks following a pelvic injury, cruised through the heats at the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games, recovering from a typically slow start to clock 9.87 seconds into a headwind.

The Jamaican stated on the eve of the meeting he had no worries about his shape a month out from the World Championships in Beijing and proved true to his word on the track where he won three Olympic gold medals at London 2012.
