Six-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt laboured to victory in the 200 metres event at the New York Diamond League meeting on Saturday.
The world record holder took 20.29 seconds to complete the race, edging out Zharnel Hughes of Anguilla.
Bolt exclaimed that he was not too happy with the time, adding that training was going well and he was looking forward to the rest of the season, the BBC reported.
Bolt, who set the current 200m world record of 19.19 seconds at the World Championships in Berlin in 2009, has said that he will retire after the 2017 World Championships in London.
