Usain Bolt enjoyed a comfortable victory in the 200m at the UTech Classic on home soil in Jamaica.
Bolt was a clear winner in Kingston, winning in 20.20 seconds in his first 200m run in 20 months, with Olympic team-mate Nesta Carter second in 20.60.
The world 100m and 200m champion was disappointed he failed to run under 20 seconds - his world record is 19.19 seconds - and said he would have to look at the video to see how he can gain more speed.
"It wasn't the perfect race so I will have to go back and look to see what to improve on," said Bolt, who missed the majority of last year through injury.
"It didn't feel as smooth as I am used to, but I just need to run more races to get race sharp."
Bolt's next race is a 100m in Rio on April 19, as he gears up for the Beijing World Championships later this year.
He will also compete in the New York Diamond League meet on June 13, his first race in the Big Apple since 2008.
Also on Saturday, Elaine Thompson ran the best time of the year so far in the women's 100m, clocking 10.92 seconds.
