World’s fastest man Usain Bolt lost his opening race of the season on Saturday (Feb 28), anchoring the Racers Lions team to second place in the men’s 4x100 at the Gibson McCook Relays.
The Jamaican world record holder could not make up a 10-metre deficit on a University of Technology team, which won in 38.23 seconds.
