Bolt races to Jamaican title

Olympic gold medallist and current world record holder Usain Bolt held off rival Asafa Powell to win the 100 m title in Kingston.

The 22-year-old won with the fastest wind-legal time in the world this year of 9.86 seconds while Powell, who has been struggling with an ankle problem recently, came in second at 9.97secs with Michael Frater third in 10.02.

The victory means Bolt has secured his place at the World Championships in Berlin in August.

In the women's 100m, Shelly-Ann Fraser recorded a time of 10.88 to edge Kerron Stewart (10.93) for victory while Sheri-Ann Brooks (11.16) came third.
