BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP)—
Usain Bolt rallied against cold, wind and
Asafa Powell to win the 100 meters in 9.77 seconds Friday at the Van Damme Memorial.
Running against a strong headwind in his season finale, the three-time Olympic champion had a bad start and watched Powell go ahead. But Bolt pulled even with Powell and used his long strides to finish 0.08 off the world record he set at the Beijing Games.
Powell, the only runner to defeat Bolt this season, finished second in 9.83. Nesha Carter made it a Jamaican sweep in 10.07.
“Asafa is a really fast guy,” Bolt said. “I’m getting used to chasing him.”
Powell joined Bolt in the celebrations around the track after the race, cheered by the sellout crowd of 47,000 at the King Baudouin Stadium.
