Bolt 9.77
Powell 9.83

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Usain Bolt battled the cold and a headwind, and was forced to come from behind to beat Asafa Powell in 9.77 seconds in the 100 meters at the Van Damme Memorial.

Running into 1.3 meter-per-second headwind, the Olympic champion had a bad start and immediately saw Powell shoot ahead of him. In his last race of the season, however, nothing was going to stop the world record-holder from spoiling his farewell party in Europe.

Halfway through, he pulled even with Powell, and then his huge stride took over, finishing just .08 seconds off the world record he set at the Beijing Games.

Powell, the only runner to have beaten Bolt this season, finished second in 9.83, and Nesha Carter made it a Jamaican sweep in 10.07.

The meet re-airs on ESPN Classic (11 p.m. ET Friday) and on ESPN2 (3:30 p.m. ET Sunday).

Last week, Bolt won the 100 in 9.83 seconds in the Weltklasse meet in Zurich, his first competition since the Beijing Games.

On Tuesday in Lausanne, Switzerland, he eased up well before the finish in his 200 and still tied the fourth-best time at 19.63. He set the world record of 19.30 in Beijing.
