Gatlin upsets Bolt in 100m final

Usain Bolt has been beaten to the gold medal in the final 100m race of his career at the World Athletics Championships in London.

The 11-time World Championships gold medallist finished second to American Christian Coleman in his semi-final, but he had to make do with third place and a bronze medal at the London Stadium.

It looked as though Coleman might win the gold until he was overtaken by Gatlin in the closing stages of the race, with the United States claiming gold and silver ahead of Bolt and compatriot Yohan Blake.

Gatlin, who has served two lengthy drugs bans during his controversial career, was roundly booed before and after the race, but paid tribute to Bolt by bowing down at the Jamaican’s feet following confirmation of his victory.

Bolt is likely to make his final track appearance on August 12 in the men’s 4x100m relay final.
