Usain's back

For the Diamond League sh*t just got real.

Last night, Usain Bolt won his first race of the season in a time of 9.91 sec just pipping fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell (9.93).

It's Bolt's first run since he was beaten by Tyson Gay in August of last year. Since then he's struggled with a injuries (back, achilles) so it's groovy to see him back.

There may be a Diamond League show down between the three 100m sprint kings soon enough, but you can bet your bottom dolla they'll be facing each other in the World Championships in August.

It was at the 2009 edition of the World Championships that Bolt shattered all records with his 9.58 second 100m. Tyson Gay ran 9.71 (still the third fastest in history) but it was only good enough for second on the day.

Here's the video of Bolt's return (not sure how long it'll stay online, youtube can be funny that way...)
