After seeing Kemar Hyman of the Cayman Islands leave the track, the world record holder got his customary slow start before pulling clear and easing down to win in 10.07 seconds.

Asked if he was worried by the false start, Bolt told BBC One: “No. I saw him, he moved, he moved. I could see him move so I knew it was him so no I didn’t.”
