Bolt achieves best time of year in 200m in Ostrava

The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, ran his quickest 200 metres of the year at Ostrava’s Golden Spike athletics meeting on Tuesday. The Jamaican won the race in 20:13 seconds, shaving seven tenths of a second of his previous best of 2015. World champion Zuzana Hejnová came first in the 400 metres hurdles, the first time she had taken part in the event in almost a year due to injury problems. Hejnová finished just ahead of Czech compatriot Denisa Roslová in a time of 55:13 seconds.
