Usain Bolt used his strong finish to win the 100 meters in 9.98 seconds at the Golden Spike meet on Friday. According to AP, Bolt recovered from a slow start but pulled ahead in the second half of the race to breeze unchallenged to the victory. With the time, Bolt improved on his season's best of 10.05 in the Cayman Islands on Saturday. After that first race of the season, he needed treatment on a tight hamstring in Germany on the way to the Czech Republic. He didn't appear to be limited on Friday though his time was still far from his world record of 9.58 in 2009. "My reaction was good," Bolt said about the start. "The power behind the start wasn't there. I didn't execute. Ahead of the race, he said he would be happy with a time of 9.8.
