Usain Bolt wins the first race of the year at the Camperdown Classic, Jamaica!

Usain Bolt wont his first race of the year 14 January at the Camperdown Classic in Kingston, Jamaica. The world’s fastest man and Jamaicas sensation, Usain Bolt, started off the season with an admirable time of 46.35 seconds in the 400m run.

After only 150 meters Usain Bolt was already ahead of the pack and increased the gap when there was only 100 meters left until the finishing line. The leader of the trailing pack Yohan Blake was around 10 meters behind the superstar Usain Bolt. With about 80-50 meters reaming of the race, Bolt was aware of his advance and turned his head to the right and to the left with a big smile on his face winning this race for the second time. When crossing the finishline Bolt immediately went to the side of the track, lay down on his back where he received a massage from his masseur.

Bolt was pleased after the race as he opened the last season with 46.9 s and also said that “ the first 300 meters of the race was good, but the last 100 meters need some work, I am not really in the best of shape, but I’m happy I got through it.”

More than 2, 000 international athletes were present at the Stadium East during the race where Yohan Blake placed 2nd in 46.88 s and Ricardo Chambers third in 46.98.

This was a good Saturday for Bold and we hope that he will preform as well as his next race at University of the West Indies (UWI) Invitational.

Athletissima meeting in Lausanne, Usain Bolt wins 200m

Only nine days after the Olympic Games where the 22-year-old Jamaican, set world records in winning the 100m, 200m and 4×100m relay, he was back in action. Usain Bolt showed that he was still in superb shape as he ran the second fastest time this year at the Athletissima meeting in Lausanne 2nd September 2008 , clocking 19.63 (-0.9) in the 200m.

Usain Bolt flew out of the blocks and had a huge lead over the trailing pack after the first 140 meters of the race, and not surprisingly started to slow down, With only 30-20 meters to go, he slowed down to what was a jog for him, and crossed the finish line. He still finished five metres or 0.61 seconds in front of closest rival Churandy Martina.

As soon as he finished the race he immediately started to celebrate his victory by slamming his pals, posing and signing autographs.

After the race Usain Bolt told the reporters “It was a good time, but I’ve made history now so a lot of people are looking to me for big times and great things.” He also explained why he slowed down remarbly at the end of the race “I’m always going out to do my best but it’s been a long season and I trailed off tonight because I want to stay injury-free right the way to the season end. As I’m starting to get a cold I was not able to think about any faster time. My coach told me that I should make sure to end the season healthy”

He had more than today’s race to celebrate as he finished his 200m season undefeated, with a world record, Olympic gold and all together 6 sub 20 times.
