Usain Bolt says that the energy of the crowd was great inside the Olympic Stadium last night.

Usain Bolt has said that he loved the atmosphere inside the Olympic Stadium as he raced to victory in the 100m in last night's Anniversary Games.

Bolt started slowly, but surged back to win the race in a season's best 9.85 seconds, much to the delight of the 60,000 spectators inside the stadium.

"I knew it was going to be a big crowd, but when I got out there it was ram-packed and the energy was still like the Olympics," the 26-year-old told BBC Sport.

"I was slightly nervous, but I loved the energy of the crowd. It was beautiful and I love competing here."

The Jamaican, who has won six Olympic gold medals, will also compete in today's 4x100m race.
