What was Bolt's only Diamond League season title event in 2012?
Answer
100 metres
What was Bolt's only Diamond League season title event in 2012? It was the 100 metres.
Bolt won the overall 100-metre Diamond League title in 2012, the first time he had claimed that season championship in the event. His decisive performance came at the Brussels final, where he ran 9.86 seconds and secured the standings.
The result is easy to confuse with his 200-metre Diamond League appearances. Bolt won 200-metre races in Lausanne and Zürich that season, recording 19.58 and 19.66 seconds, but those victories did not give him the overall 200-metre season title.
The 2012 circuit ran from May to September and included fourteen meetings. Bolt's Diamond League campaign was part of a remarkable Olympic year: at the London Games he won the 100 metres in 9.63 seconds, the 200 metres in 19.32 and the relay with Jamaica. His season title, however, came specifically in the 100 metres.
