Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt landed a shock defeat in his last major championship appearance by US’s Justin Gatlin who
claimed the 100 metres World
Championship title in London.
The American who was booed throughout
the race tonight due his previous doping
bans won his second world 100m title, 12
years after his first to ruin eight-time
Olympic champion Usain Bolt’s final
individual race.
Bolt, who retires after next week’s 4x100m
relay, could only come third behind
American Gatlin, who clocked 9.92 seconds,
and Christian Coleman (9.94).
Bolt crossed the line in 9.95. seconds to
console himself with the Bronze medal.
It was the first time the 30-year-old had
been beaten for four years and the first time
he had ever been beaten in the semi-finals
of a major championship.
