Pretty meh race by Bolt’s standards. This is more or less the time I expected after national trials and since his biggest threat now is Justin Gatlin and Nesta Carter, I would say this race confirms what we already know is going to happen at Worlds. Given legal conditions within a normal range in Moscow (and no further disasters for the sport), Bolt is likely going to win the 100 in a 9.7x and win by at least .1 second. He would have been in serious trouble if Tyson were going to be there. This season has just been absolutely awful.
