Bolt wins gold with season's best time; Dix, Jeter sparkle

The quick-finishing Bolt clocked 9.82 seconds in his first race in six weeks to equal compatriot Asafa Powell's season leader. Bolt easily beat Jamaican club-mate Yohan Blake, who clocked his season's best of 9.96 seconds. Churandy Martina of Netherland Antilles was third in 10.16. He dominated the final half of the race but did not appear to be his overpowering self against a relatively weak field.

A sterner test is expected on July 16, when Bolt meets Powell for the first time this season in Paris. Bolt admitted it could be his biggest challenge since he set his world record of 9.58 seconds in defeating American Tyson Gay and Powell in Berlin's World Championships.

American Walter Dix took the 200 in 19.86 seconds and Cuban world record holder Dayron Robles ran his fastest 110 metres of the season, clocking 13.01 seconds. American David Oliver, who was not here, remained the season's leader at 12.90. Former Olympic and world champion Jeremy Wariner helped lead the way, winning the 400 metres in 44.57 seconds.

Kenyan Nicholas Kemboi added another with a stirring 1,500 metres in 3:31.52.
American Carmelita Jeter won the women's 100 in 10.99 seconds.
