Jamaican sprint king Usain Bolt continued his winning streak, winning the 100m at the Zurich Golden League on Friday.

In a packed 26,000-capacity Letzigrund Stadium, Bolt, who set an unprecedented three world records en route to Olympic 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay golds, beat a field that included six of the Olympic finalists plus 200m silver medallist Shawn Crawford.

The 22-year-old timed 9.83 seconds, the 14th-fastest ever, and a time only bettered by only three other sprinters -- the now-retired Maurice Greene, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay.

Bolt celebrates another superb display of sprinting with a stunning 100m victory in Zurich.

Double Olympic bronze medallist Walter Dix of the United States came second in 9.99 seconds, with Trinidad and Tobago's silver medallist from Beijing, Richard Thompson, third in 10.09.

Meanwhile, Pamela Jelimo of Kenya went close to beating the oldest track and field world record in the books in the women's 800m.

The Olympic 800m champion broke her own world junior record when she ran the third-fastest time ever in the event -- clocking one minute 54.01 seconds.

Only Czech Jarmila Kratochvilova (1:53.28) and Russian Nadezhda Olizarenko (1:53.43) have run faster, back in 1983 and 1980 respectively.

Jelimo's victory means she remains in contention for the $1 million Golden League Jackpot, with the series' final meeting coming in Brussels next week.

"I am so tired," said Jelimo. "But this was my best race with the best pacemakers. The world record is now closer but I'm not sure I can do it this year, maybe next. There is still one race to go for the jackpot."

It was a mixed night for the 10 other Olympic champions on show.

Cuban 110m hurdler Dayron Robles beat American arch-rival David Oliver by one-hundredth of a second in 12.97 seconds for his third Golden League win of the season.

Norwegian javelin thrower Andreas Thorkildsen dominated the field with a best throw of 90.28 meters to follow-up on his Olympic success, while Angelo Taylor saw off Kerron Clement in a re-run of the men's 400m hurdles in Beijing, the double Olympic champion winning in 48.07 seconds.

But Bahrain's Olympic 1500m champion Rashid Ramzi was beaten into second in the 1500m, Belgian high jumper Tia Hellebaut crashed out at a miserly 1.85m, and LaShawn Merritt was beaten into second in the men's 400m by American compatriot Jeremy Wariner.

Two Kenyans who failed to qualify for the Beijing Games also shone on the track in the men's 1500m and 3000m steeplechase.

African champion Haron Keitany outsprinted Ramzi to win the 1500m in 3:32.06, while Paul Koech, a bronze medallist at the 2004 Athens Games who missed the cut for the Kenyan team for this summer's Games, won a fast 3000m steeplechase in 8:04.26.

Olympic bronze medallist Sanya Richards won the women's 400m in an overdue season's best of 49.74 seconds, while fellow-American Allyson Felix, the Olympic silver medallist, won the 200m in 22.37 seconds.
