Bolt storms to world leading time

ROME, Italy,  CMC – Jamaican Usain Bolt stormed to a world-leading 9.76 seconds to win the 100 metres at the Rome Diamond League here today.

The reigning double Olympic sprint champion was followed home by fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell in 9.91 seconds.

Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre was third in a season-best 10.04 seconds.

Only last week in Ostrava, Bolt ran his slowest time in 26 finals when he clocked a dismal 10.04 seconds at the IAAF World Challenge meet.
