(SOUNDBITE) (English) 100 METRES WORLD RECORD HOLDER, USAIN BOLT, SAYING: "Well, it was hard. I am not going to say it was an easy race. For me, it was awkward. My start was really poor. I was pushing from like 40 metres and then, my body would not respond so I was really taking it easy. Use my strength to get through so for me, that was enough." STORY: Triple Olympic champion Bolt, who shattered the 200 metres meeting record at the previous Diamond League event in Zurich, pulled away towards the end of the 100, crossing the line in 9.86 seconds which is a modest time for him. "Well, it was hard. I am not going to say it was an easy race. For me, it was awkward. My start was really poor. I was pushing from like 40 metres and then, my body would not respond so I was really taking it easy. Use my strength to get through so for me, that was enough," said Bolt, who ranks first in the overall Diamond League season. Bolt still planned a final night out in Brussels and was due to perform a DJ set in the early hours of Saturday, having splashed out on nine pairs of jeans earlier in the day.
