DAEGU, South Korea (AP) ? Slow out of the blocks this time, Usain Bolt relied on his devastating acceleration Sunday to wipe away the field halfway through and sweep into the 100-meter final at the world championships.
The defending champion momentarily saw Jamaican teammate Michael Frater ahead of him after the gun but stayed calm to let his powerful long legs do the work on his way to a 10.05 second time. The final is set for later Sunday.
Bolt was looking around with 20 meters to go and was soon stroking his hair after crossing the line as the South Korean crowd of about 35,000 cheered in awe. During Saturday's heat, he had a perfect start and slowed down, but this time he was forced to practice his midway speed. In a word ? awesome.
