Usain Bolt returned to the track with an easy win in the 100m at the Diamond Athletics meeting in Lausanne.

Bolt is nursing a foot injury and missed the meeting in New York last month on account of the problem.

The competition was not hot for Bolt, given it was only 24 hours ago that he took the decision to switch from the 200m to 100m on advice from his medical team who are not keen for him to stress his ankle by running round a bend.

He showed no signs of rust on his first outing for three weeks as, despite taking it easy out of the blocks he was able to stroll home in a time of 9.82. There appeared to be plenty more in the tank and he will surely head to Paris in fine form.

Dayron Robles produced another slick display to claim the 110m hurdles in a time of 13.01. Britain's Andrew Turner came home fourth in a season's best of 13.30.

Michael Rimmer could finish only fifth behind David Rudisha, while Lisa Dobriskey posted a season's best of 4:01.83 to fill fourth behind Gelete Burka in the 1500m.
