Bolt, who wasn’t the fastest qualifier and hasn’t been the fastest man in the world this year for the first time in nearly a decade, was seeking his 12th world title.

He, however ,finished with a time of 9.95secs, losing to Justin Gatlin who took gold in 9.92secs. Christian Coleman clinched silver with 9.94secs.

Bolt came out of the blocks well, but Gatlin who was under the radar, stormed through to win it, as boos rang out.

It completes a bizarre career circle for Gatlin, who first became the men’s 100m world champion in 2005.
