Bolt unhappy with time in 200m win
New York, June 14
Jamaican sprint king Usain
Bolt beat Anguillan teenager Zharnel Hughes to win the 200 metres race
at the Diamond League meet here.
Bolt crossed the line in 20.29
seconds to claim gold ahead of Hughes, who clocked 20.32 and compatriot
Julian Forte third in 20.46 on Saturday, reports CMC.
Bolt's
victory came in the absence of his close rival Justin Gatlin, who has
been burning up the track -- posting world leaders of 9.74 in the 100m
and 19.68 in the 200m.
Bolt and Gatlin are likely to go head-to-head in the World Championships in Beijing in August.
"I
wasn't too happy with the time today. Training has been going well and I
am looking forward to what the rest of the season has to bring," said
the 28-year-old multiple-Olympic champion and world record holder.
Trinidad
and Tobago's Keston Bledman and Jamaican Nesta Carter were not fast
enough to beat American Tyson Gay, who sped to victory in the 100m race,
clocking 10.12. Bledman clocked 10.13 to place second while Carter
secured the bronze in 10.15.
Meanwhile, Jamaica's Samantha
Henry-Robinson and Trinidad and Tobago's Kelly-Ann Baptiste lost to
America's English Gardner in women's 100m. Henry-Robinson had to settle
for second position, clocking 11.08, and Baptiste followed with 11.19.
Gardner crossed the line in a winning time of 11 seconds.
