— -- Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt competed for a final time in his native Jamaica on Saturday night, winning the 100 meters at the Salute to a Legend race at Kingston's National Stadium.

Bolt easily topped the field with a time of 10:03.

Following the race, the skies above the stadium lit up with a fireworks display. Bolt says he plans to end his career at the world championships in London in August.

Kenya's?David Rudisha and Mo Farah of Great Britain -- both winners of multiple Olympic golds -- were among those in attendance.?

Bolt's Olympic tally of nine gold medals went down one in January due to a doping case involving his former 4x400-meter teammate Nesta Carter. The two were teammates on the winning relay team in the 2008 Olympics, which also included Michael Frater and Asafa Powell.

That relay in Beijing started a run of gold-medal sweeps in the 100, 200 and relay at three straight Olympics.
