Is Whitney Houston Joining 'The X Factor'?
Olympic and world racing champ Usain Bolt is in Lausanne, Switzerland this week for the Athletissma track meet. Although he had to pull out of the 200-meter race earlier this week because of an injury to his Achilles tendon, on Thursday, Bolt returned to the track to race in the 100-meter sprint and beat fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake with a time of 9.82 seconds.
Bolt told the Associated Press that even though his tendon was still a bit painful, he still plans to race against Blake again next week in Paris. He's hoping to get an OK from his doctor to participate in a 200-meter race before the end of the season.
If Bolt was to race in the 200-meter earlier this week, he would have gone up against American runner, Walter Dix. Dix won that race with a time of 19.86 seconds.
"I was very disappointed Bolt was not running, but it feels good to be leading the Diamond League today," Dix said.

Carl Lewis will always be the KING of track. He would often run in three or four events in one meet and Bolt and hardly muster
two. Bolt, Tyson Gay and these new crop of sprinters are probably on some kind of designer steroid. When was the last time a world
class sprinter consistently competed in the 100, 200, 4x100 and the long jump in one meet? Their bodies are to juiced up to handle it. Even the great Jesses Owens and Jackie Robinson handled their business in several events. These new roid sprinters will tear muscles if they did.
