CaribWorldNews, LONDON, England, Mon. Aug. 31, 2009: The world`s fastest man, Jamaica`s Usain Bolt, remains in the hunt for the $1M Golden League jackpot after cruising to another victory over the weekend.

Bolt managed to shake off his Jamaican team-mate, Asafa Powell, to win the 100-m in 9.81sec at the Weltklasse Golden League meeting in Zürich Friday night.

In his first race since shattering the world records in the 100-m and 200-m at the World Championships in Berlin, Bolt did not come close to his own record of 9.58sec but still had enough to win ahead of Powell, the former world record-holder.

Bolt trailed Powell halfway into the race but the world and Olympic champion then used his huge stride to pull ahead and even eased up in the last couple of meters. Powell finished in 9.88sec, followed by two Americans, Darvis Patton in 9.95sec and Michael Rodgers in 9.98sec.

`I would say this was a shaky race, my body was sitting at the start,` Bolt said. `I was a little bit tired through the race. All things considered the time was not bad. Yes, at the end I needed to pick up my speed as my body did not respond well to the race.`

Yet, despite his slower speed, Bolt remains very much in the run among top athletes for the much coveted, $1M Golden League jackpot

Meanwhile, Jamaican Kerron Stewart lost her chance for a share of the prize money after losing the 100-m at the Letzigrund Stadium in the first meeting since the world championships last Sunday.
