Jamaican star Bolt clocked 20.13 seconds in the rain, almost a second off his world-record best.

USA's Golden Spike (20.35) followed him home, with Lykourgos-Stefanos Tsakonas of Greece (20.62) in third.

Bolt did not run the 100m, but there was Jamaican success in that event nevertheless, as Asafa Powell took the win.

Young was again second, with Great Britain's Richard Kilty just holding off Mosito Lehata and Joe Morris for third.
