( CNN ) -- World record holder and Olympic champion Usain Bolt added yet another title to his tally after racing to victory in the Bupa Great CityGames 150 meter sprint in a new best time in Manchester on Sunday . Usain Bolt smashed the world 150m record in his first race of the season in Manchester on Sunday . The Jamaican , who broke both the 100m and 200m records before anchoring his country to the 4x100m relay title in Beijing , clocked 14.36 seconds -- smashing the previous world 's best by 0.39 seconds . Bolt , in his first competitive outing of the season , finished well ahead of Britain 's Marlon Devonish , who ran 15.07 . The 22-year-old , who was only passed fit on Monday after a car crash which required minor surgery on his foot just over a fortnight ago , was given a bye into the final . But he did not disappoint and the breakdown of times in his sprint were staggering . He covered the first 100m in 9.90 , which although well short of his record-breaking 9.69 in Beijing , was still impressive on a very damp temporary track constructed in the city center . Even better was his speed over what is termed `` the flying 100 '' -- from 50-150m -- which he covered in just 8.72 seconds . It all added up to a run which eclipsed the previous best of 14.75 by American Tyson Gay , whose time was recorded during a 200m race and not a straight 150m sprint . `` It is one more to the tally , '' Bolt told reporters when told of his world-best time . `` I thought I would just go out there and run a good time . I am not in the best shape and I still have a lot of work to do but I am getting there , '' he added . Debbie McKenzie Ferguson of the Bahamas won the women 's race in 16.54 seconds ahead of Olympic and world 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu , who finished in 17.10 .
