<p> A baffled Usain Bolt ran his worst turn ever as he barely won the 200 metres at the Adidas Grand Prix meet in a sluggish 20.29 seconds on a warm, windy day at Randall's Island on Saturday.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Bolt was running into a stiff headwind of 2.8 metres per second that surely affected his time, but the six-time Olympic gold medal winner was bewildered by his sub-standard turn.<br /><br />His time was more than a full second slower than his world record of 19.19.<br />The 28-year-old Jamaican, who also holds the world record in the 100 metres, failed to show his legendary runaway burst of speed and only justs held off second-placed Zharnel Hughes of Anguilla, who timed 20.32.<br /><br />Bolt said the turn affected the rest of his race, run in front of a packed grandstand filled with fans from his homeland.<br /><br />He had hoped to break 20 seconds in the race as he aimed to build towards this year's Beijing world championships in August after a 2014 season limited by injuries. Bolt ran 20.20 in Kingston and 20.13 in Ostrava earlier this year.<br /><br />Results: Men: 100M: Tyson Gay (US) 10.12 seconds, 1; Keston Bledman (Trinidad and Tobago) 10.13, 2; Nesta Carter (Jamaica) 10.15, 3. 200M: Usain Bolt (Jamaica) 20.29, 1; Zharnel Hughes (Anguilla) 20.32, 2; Julian Forte (Jamaica) 20.46, 3. <br /><br />400M: Wayde van Niekerk (South Africa) 44.24, 1; Chris Brown (Bahamas) 44.74, 2; Tony McQuay (US) 45.26, 3.<br /><br /> 800M: David Lekuta Rudisha (Kenya) 1:43.58, 1; Boris Berian (US) 1:43.84, 2; Pierre-Ambroise Bosse (France) 1:43.88, 3. 5000M: Ben True (US) 13:29.48, 1; Nicholas Willis (New Zealand) 13:29.78, 2; Nguse Amlosom (Eritrea) 13:30.22, 3. 110M hurdles: David Oliver (US) 13.19, 1; Jason Richardson (US) 13.26, 2; Garfield Darien (France) 13.32, 3. <br />400M hurdles: Javier Culson (Puerto Rico) 48.48, 1; LJ Van Zyl (South Africa) 48.78, 2; Jeffery Gibson (Bahamas) 48.97, 3. <br /><br />Triple jump: Pedro Pablo Pichardo (Cuba) 17.56 metres, 1; Will Claye (US) 16.96, 2; Omar Craddock (US) 16.55, 3. <br /><br />Shot put: Joe Kovacs (US) 21.67, 1; Jordan Clarke (US) 21.34, 2; Tomas Walsh (New Zealand) 21.16, 3.
