Craig Pickering's best is no match for awesome Usain Bolt

Britain's Craig Pickering ran the fastest 100 metres of his life but was no match for world-record holder Usain Bolt in the IAAF Grand Prix meeting in Ostrava.

But for the following wind being 0.01 seconds over the legal limit, Pickering would have cut his personal best from 10.14sec to a 10.08sec behind the Olympic champion.

Bolt had said before the race that he would post his first sub 10-second time of the season. The Jamaican lived up to his promise winning in what would have been the world's fastest time this year of 9.77 except for the slightest of assistance.

The winner was last to rise from his blocks and admitted: "That's probably the second worst start I ever had. I saw that I was behind and I really wanted to run a fast time here, so I pushed hard. I'm always good in the second half and that was when I got back into the race."
