Su's semifinal result, with a wind speed of 0. Su clocked 9. Stepping on the track has fulfilled my dream," Su said after the race. Finishing the final under 10 seconds is not an easy thing for me. The fastest man in history had not, however, run fast enough to finish with another gold. At the end of a short farewell season in which he has been hampered by injury and rocked by the death of his great friend Germaine Mason, Bolt did not have quite enough in the tank to take his record haul of gold medals at the IAAF World Championships to 12 — although, of course, he will have the chance to do that in the 4 x m relay.
Having stumbled out of his starting blocks in his heat on Friday and finished behind Coleman in his semi-final 9. His reaction time of 0. Running in lane five, Coleman recaptured a significant measure of the early-season form that took him to a 9. At that stage, the charging Gatlin, running out in lane eight, drew level. In April, he ran 9. And at the U. His form in Europe in recent weeks has been a little disappointing, but 9. Born to an Italian mother in Texas, Marcell Jacobs is the potential wildcard in this men's m.
A former Italian long jump champion, Jacobs reached the semi-finals at the World Championships. But he really announced himself to the world at March's European Indoors with 60m victory in a world-leading time of 6. That fell in the first round in Tokyo as Jacobs, looking totally at ease on his Olympic debut, crossed the line in 9. He looks to carry Europe's biggest chance of claiming the men's m title since Barcelona when Great Britain's Linford Christie struck gold.

The crowd reaction was totally understandable.

But Gatlin is American and they just want to win by any means. It's a disgrace. Comment posted by Jamboree, at 5 Aug Jamboree. Bolt retires an absolute legend. His world records will stand for years, maybe decades, maybe forever.
Three Olympic golds back to back in and will never be repeated. One of the greatest ever sports personalities. If Gatlin was Russian he wouldn't even be there. Comment posted by U, at 5 Aug U A bad day for athletics, a two time caught cheat wins. Should have had a life time ban. Ruined athletics for me. Cheat once you should have a life time ban! Feel let down. Devastated that my hero lost. But how wonderful he was in defeat. A true gentleman. An entertainer and a fantastic sportsman.
The perfect role model. Thanks for it all Usain Bolt. We will miss you. Comment posted by fishguru, at 5 Aug fishguru. It says much for athletics these days when such an individual is allowed to compete.
