Bolt blazes to victory in blustery Stockholm

STOCKHOLM, (Reuters) – Usain Bolt defied blustering  winds today to record his first victory in three attempts on  Swedish soil with victory over the 200 metres in the Stockholm  Diamond League meeting.
The Jamaican Olympic and world 100 and 200 champion cruised
comfortably into the curve and powered home in 20.03 seconds.
“It’s awesome to get a first victory here,” Bolt told  reporters, adding that he felt a little pain in one side of his  back after the race.
“Generally it was a good race despite the fact that I wanted  a better time.”
Despite the winds swirling around the 99-year-old stadium,  there were some outstanding performances as the competitors  fine-tuned their preparations before next month’s world  championships in Daegu, South Korea.
