Usain Bolt ‘consulting doctors’ after failing to break 10-second barrier in Ostrava as Mo Farah extends unbeaten run
Farewell tour for the Olympic star continues as he wins 100 metres in Czech Republic
USAIN BOLT was ‘unhappy’ at failing to break the 10-second barrier in a 100 metres in the Czech Republic.
The sprint legend clocked 10.07sec in the Golden Spike competition.
A sluggish start saw Cuba’s Yunier Perez, 32, make Bolt work hard for the latest victory on his farewell tour.
He said: “I’m not happy with the time but I will get better, as usual. I’m going to get checked out by my doctor but I’ll be fine, no worries.”
Bolt, 30, is gearing up for what is expected to be an emotional farewell in August when London hosts the World Championships.
His fans in Ostrava gave him a spectacular send-off by forming themselves as the flag of Jamaica while the national anthem was blasted out.
Bolt then jigged happily to Tina Turner’s Simply The Best before trotting off.
Sir Mo Farah, 34, is also about to say goodbye to the track, so he can concentrate on road racing.
The Brit saw off Mathew Kimeli, 19, to win the 10,000m in 27:12.09 and extend his undefeated run to almost six years.
Former European 400m hurdles champion Rhys Williams has announced his retirement with an Achilles injury.
Williams, 33, who won gold in 2012 after claiming silver two years earlier, said: “Nothing has given me more pride than putting on a Welsh vest.
“Unfortunately, injury has ended my hopes of competing one last time.”
