An emotional Usain Bolt recovered from a moderate start to win his final 100 meters sprint on home soil, clocking 10.03 seconds at the Racers Grand Prix in Kingston on Saturday.

The multiple Olympic and world gold medalist, who will retire after August's world championships in London, confessed to being a nervous wreck before running his last race on Jamaican soil.

"The run, it was just OK. I must say it was OK. I don't think I've ever been that nervous running a 100 meters," Bolt said after a lap of honor before a packed stadium, including International Association of Athletics Federations president Sebastian Coe and the top brass of Jamaican politics including Prime Minister Andrew Holness.
