Bolt, 26, powered past American Justin Gatlin, who took silver in 9.85 ahead of Jamaican Nesta Carter (9.95).

 

Britain's James Dasaolu finished in eighth place with a time of 10.21.

 

Bolt takes back the world crown he lost in 2011 when he was disqualified for a false start in the final, with compatriot Yohan Blake taking gold.

 

"I am happy but I wanted to do better," Bolt told BBC Sport.

 

"My legs were sore after the semi-finals, I don't know why, but the world record wasn't on so I came out just to win.

 

"Back in Jamaica, they do not expect less than that from me. They always expect me to dominate!"

 

Dasaolu said: "Yesterday was the first time I had run out of blocks for three weeks and I was just happy to be in the final.

 

"This is my first year going under 10 seconds and hopefully I can build on this."
