OLYMPIC champion Dayron Robles of Cuba won the 60-meter hurdles at the PSD Bank meet in Duesseldorf, Germany, on Wednesday in his first competition since being injured last August.
Robles won in 7.50 seconds after pulling ahead early in a clean race.
The world record-holder pulled out of the semifinals of the 110m hurdles at the world championships in Berlin. He will compete at the indoor worlds in Doha, Qatar, next month, where he will compete against China's Liu Xiang.
"It was a good race, I had a good rhythm," Robles said. "But I am only at 90 percent. I will try to get better with each race."
World champion Lolo Jones of the United States won the women's 60 hurdles in 7.85. Laverne Jones-Ferrette of the US Virgin Islands upset US sprinter Carmelita Jeter to win the women's 60m dash in 7.09 seconds.
