<p>The Jamaican Olympic and world 100 and 200 champion cruised into the curve and powered home in 20.03 seconds. "It's awesome to get a first victory here," Bolt told reporters, adding that he felt a little pain in one side of his back after the race. <br /><br />Despite the winds swirling around the 99-year-old stadium, there were some outstanding performances as the competitors fine-tuned their preparations before next month's World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. <br /><br />Kenya's Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot ran the third-fastest women's 5,000 ever, clocking 14:20.87. "If it wasn't for the wind she could have taken the world record," her manager Ricky Simms told Reuters. <br /><br />A week after 77 people were killed in a bombing and shooting massacre in Norway by anti-Islam attacker Anders Behring Breivik, Norwegian Andreas Thorkildsen was a popular winner in the men's javelin, posting a winning throw of 88.43 metres. <br /><br />"It's hard after last week, but on the runway you don't think about what happened," he said. Russia's world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva returned from a hand injury to post a season's best jump of 4.76 metres to win the women's pole vault ahead of Germany's Silke Spiegelburg. <br /><br />Another athlete making a return, albeit for different reasons, was LaShawn Merritt. The American Olympic and world champion came second in the 400 metres in his first race after a 21-month ban for using a banned substance. <br /><br />South African 800 metres world champion Caster Semenya had a disappointing evening, finishing eighth in a time of 2:01.28. <br /><br />"It's a little bit worrying, these are times when I should be running at least below two minutes," Semenya told Reuters, adding that she and her coach would have to do some "deep thinking". <br /><br />American sprinter Carmelita Jeter cruised to victory in the women's 100 in a time of 11.15.
