Usain Bolt claims he will bounce back at Thursday’s Diamond League meeting in Rome after his disappointing time in Ostrava last week.<\/p>\n

The Jamaican sprinter clocked 10.04 seconds in last Friday’s 100m and blamed a lack of sleep and food.<\/p>\n

He said: “I explained to my coach that my legs were not feeling that energetic, probably through a lack of sleep and not enough food.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been trying to get a lot more sleep and eating better.”<\/p>\n

Bolt’s time in Ostrava was the first time since 2009 in Toronto that the Jamaican has failed to break 10 seconds in a final.<\/p>\n

However, the triple Olympic champion was in relaxed mood ahead of this week’s meeting in Rome and admitted he does not feel under pressure to perform in every race.<\/p>\n

He said: “You never have a good race every time you run. You have to just put that behind you and move on. It’s not a worry. I have a lot more races and the main one is at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

“I have set a high standard for myself so I know people like to see me run fast.<\/p>\n

“I can’t look at it as pressure. People expect you to do certain things – I know I will have my bad races but I have to stay strong and focused.”<\/p>\n

Bolt will face fellow countryman and former world-record holder Asafa Powell, France’s European champion Christophe Lemaitre and veteran Kim Collins in the 100m on Thursday.<\/p>\n
