Usain Bolt wins 200m in Ostrava; David Rudisha pulls up
Usain Bolt won his second 200m race in the last 21 months, clocking 20.15 on a rained-on track in Ostrava, Czech Republic, on Tuesday.
Bolt’s time put him tied for sixth in the world this year in the 200m, equal to 19-year-old Zharnel Hughes, and was .05 faster than his time on April 11, his first 200m since August 2013.
“It was a little bit colder than I thought it would be,” Bolt told an on-track reporter. “It’s all about working on my technique, getting back into shape.”
The Ostrava field included zero of the expected top challengers to Bolt at the World Championships in Beijing on Aug. 29.
