Bolt opens season with solid 400-meters victory

Weir, the 200m bronze medalist at the London Olympics last year, emerged with the meet's overall 400m title with a time of 46.23sec.

Blake, the double Olympic sprint silver medalist, clocked 46.77 in the same heat.

In an earlier heat, Bolt trailed Riker Hylton — a genuine quarter-miler — into the last 40m but won the heat in 46.74.

“I felt a bit nervous,” Bolt, the 100m and 200m world record-holder, said of his season opener. “I just came out here to win and I'm glad I won injury free.”

Bolt, who spectacularly defended his three gold medals — in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m — at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, said he might run a couple more 400m races this season, and that his time so early in the season “shows that I am in good shape.”
