It was Bolt’s first defeat in a 100-meter ultimate in Olympic or world competitors, aside from a false-start disqualification in 2011.
Gatlin, who has been booed all week, served a four-year doping ban from 2006 to 2010 and has been chasing the quickest man on the planet since his return to the monitor.
Bolt will take the monitor one ultimate time for Jamaica’s 4×100-meter relay workforce Aug. 12, after which he will probably be gone. Or not less than, that’s what he claims.
