Jamaican sprint superstar Usain Bolt set a new best time of 9.98 seconds for the rarely run 100 meter race indoors at Warsaw’s national football stadium on Saturday.
Bolt – the Olympic champion and world record holder eclipsed the previous best mark for the distance of 10.05 seconds set by Namibian Frankie Fredericks in 1996.
The Warsaw stadium had its roof closed for the event.
Bolt got a late start to his season due to a foot injury he announced in late March. He told Sport magazine he was tempted to not compete at all this year, adding that he required crutches for the first time in his life after the surgery.
