Olympic champion and world record holder Usain Bolt stormed to victory in the 100m at the London Diamond League meeting on Friday as he returned to his brutal, stunning best.
The Jamaican superstar warmed up for his world championships bid in Moscow next month by sparkling in front of a packed crowd at the London Olympic Stadium.
He won in a season-best 9.85sec despite making a lacklustre start and performed a lap of honour in front of a packed 60,000 crowd.
Returning to the scene of his golden Olympic treble a year ago, the fastest man on earth blew his rivals away with at the Anniversary Games event.
American Michael Rodgers (9.98) and Jamaica's Nesta Carter (9.99) also dipped under ten seconds.
Having been beaten by American Justin Gatlin in Rome earlier this year, Bolt was a man on a mission. And he did not let his worldwide fan club down.
The global audience may have been a fraction of the near one billion armchair supporters who watched in awe last summer but there was still a special atmosphere inside the stadium.
The 26-year-old, a six-time Olympic gold-medallist stood on a mock fighter jet and held the Jamaican flag aloft, taking the applause of the sun-drenched supporters as he was driven around the stadium at the Queen elizabeth Olympic Park in London.
