Usain Bolt slows to a jog on way to winning heat

He will go much faster than 10.07 seconds this weekend.

THE FASTEST MAN in history recorded a fairly pedestrian 10.07 second 100 metres in Moscow today, but still won his heat to progress to the World Championship semi-finals.

Such is the power of the man, Bolt appeared to have the race won before the 60 metre mark and was able to slow to something resembling a jog on his way to victory.
