A
'bolt' of Lightening struck in New York City last night when Usain Bolt flashed to a world record run in the men's 100m at the Reebok Grand Prix.
The lanky 6ft 3", who started the season with the 100m as speed work-out preparations, struck 200 hundredths of a second off compatriot Asafa Powell's previous mark of 9.74.
Bolt, who now has two of the three fastest times ever, 9.72 and 9.76, defeated American Tyson Gay, who finished second in 9.85 seconds, in their long anticipated battle.
