    Rio 2016: Jogging Bolt faster than South Korean record

    Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has proved his ability again, winning his 100-meter heat in 10.07 seconds, Sunday.

    At the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Bolt advanced to the semi-finals.

    Bolt made a sluggish start, lagging second from behind.

    "It wasn't the best start, it felt kind of sluggish," he said. "I'm not used to running this early in the morning in any championships."

    However, the world-fastest man soon caught up and even glanced to his left to check his competitors.

    Fans said Bolt was "jogging" before the final 25 meters.

    Although it was not his best time, Bolt's time was faster than South Korea's all-time best record of 10.16 seconds set by Kim Kuk-young.

    Kim, who participated in the 100-meter heats on Sunday, failed to make the semi-finals, recording 10.37 seconds to finish 51th out of 70.
