Usain Bolt wins, runs 100m in 9.76 sec in Rome
When he came back out to run, Bolt chatted with the race worker behind his lane before he stepped into the starting blocks. After the race, he grabbed an Italian flag as he celebrated with another lap around the track that hosted the 1960 Olympics.
”Since I arrived in Rome I made sure to be in in bed early. So I got a lot of rest and slept a lot,” Bolt said. ”In Ostrava I had not had enough sleep. This race was much better.”
This was the third Diamond League meet of the year but Bolt’s first.
Bolt will also compete in a Diamond League meet in Oslo, Norway, next week before returning to Jamaica for national trials. He then plans to return to Europe for a 200 in Monaco on July 20, his last race before the London Games start a week later.
