Usain Bolt partied with his devoted fans in an emotional farewell at the National Stadium on Saturday as he ran his final race on Jamaican soil.

Bolt wanted to go out in a blaze of glory as he won the 100 metre “Salute to a Legend” race in front of a crowd of 30,000 on the same track where he launched his international career at the world juniors in 2002.


The 30-year-old leaped out of the blocks and cruised to victory in a time of 10.03, well below his world record time, but good enough to beat a solid field.
