RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Usain Bolt started his season by winning a 150-meter race on a track set up at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
Bolt cruised to victory in 14.42 seconds, falling short of the world-best mark of 14.35 he set on the streets of Manchester in 2009.
Brazilian Bruno Lins was second in 14.91, ahead of Antigua and Barbuda s Daniel Bailey and Ecuador s Alex Quinones.
After the race under scorching heat on a four-lane track built in the middle of Copacabana beach, Bolt said it was "definitely a good start for the season" and that he was "looking forward to coming" back to Rio for the 2016 Olympics.
Bolt celebrated by dancing with a few Brazilian dancers after the run, which was an official event supervised by the IAAF.
