<p>"He is my teammate and he is getting better because normally he always crack at the end of the race," Bolt said. "But he held it together this time, so that is why I was smiling." Both were helped by a slight wind. Yohan Blake, Jamaica's junior record-holder, was third overall in 10.08. </p>
<p>This was Bolt's first 100 since he won the Golden League meet at Brussels in September. "It was a good run," Bolt said. "I still have to work a little bit more on my race." Bolt's coach Glen Mills said the sprinter will make his international debut this season at the Jamaica International Invitational on May 2. </p>
<p>He set the 100 world record of 9.69 in winning the gold medal at the Beijing Games. He also captured the gold and set a world record in the 200 and helped Jamaica win the 4x100 relay. Bailey trains with Bolt in Jamaica and has represented Antigua and Barbuda in the last two Olympics. </p>
