Usain Bolt was going to retire next week and we all want him
to retire with the title, but today he lost it to two-time cheat, Justin Gatlin.
A terrible silence met the end of the men's 100m final in the London
Stadium. Not only was Usain Bolt, the great hero of the sport, denied
victory in his final individual race, but it was won by two-time drugs
cheat Justin Gatlin. Athletics' worst nightmare had just unfolded in
front of a watching world.
The fans who had packed into the stadium to savour every last moment of
this race, hoping for one last signature Bolt moment of celebration, one
final flourish, one last waltz, watched in stunned amazement as Gatlin
dipped for the line a fraction of a second ahead. Bolt was third, beaten
to the silver medal by the young American Christian Coleman.
In the shocked aftermath of the race, everyone seemed to try to pretend
that Bolt had won. Gatlin was booed and it was Bolt who was interviewed track side and told that the whole stadium loved him.
Two years ago, it was said that Bolt had saved the sport when he beat Gatlin at the World Championships.
